I headed up to Arapeen and ran through Research Park, down Wakara and along Foothill to Wasatch, then worked my way through the construction on the U of U golf course, through Federal Heights to 11th Ave, then along 11th Ave to B Street and back. It felt hot enough that I ditched my shirt after 1/2 mile and spent the next 9 miles burning the eyes of the public (but it sure felt better!). On the way home I ran along North Campus up to Wasatch, then through the old golf course (it looks like they've turned at least some of the upper holes into a frisbee course now--I should take the kids sometime) and back. Opened it up a bit during the last 1/2 mile or so and felt good.
Should have taken some water with me, because I've been sucking it down like crazy ever since.
