Not a good run at all today.  Went out this afternoon big mistake, still way too hot or maybe I'm just still messed up from my run Saturday.  Anyway the plan was to do a tempo run from Anderson Junction, through Toquerville my normal route which I really like.  I did a two mile warm-up then got going.

1-6:15 this was good two weeks ago I hit 6:35 on this first mile, so I was feeling pretty good, but that quickly changed

2-6:23 even stopped and walked a bit up a hill

3-6:00 just going through the motions not even pushing it on this section like I usually do.

Anyway after just 3 miles I was done.  I was able to limp into Toquerville to the City Office and got a drink,

Then two more very slow miles to my water bottle which Sunny had left at the Trails Sub Division.

The worst part of the day was the last two miles, I just walked the rest of the way home.

I really hope it was just the heat that drained me and maybe just being a little stressed and wore out from the first few days of school.  Hope to bounce back soon, today running was not fun at all.

Dustin, I think most of us are feeling the effects of the hot summer. The cooler temps are coming and I know you will overcome and conquer.
