6:00 am, 86 degrees, 44% humidity, dew poing 62 and wind at 5 mph.

 

Nice morning out on the trail.   I headed out for 3.5 miles and this was the worst part of the entire run - the bugs were horrible.   Little gnats all over the place and in some places very thick, in my eyes, hair, sweat and mouth.    About the point I turned around they had thinned out and were barely noticeable.   A pit stop at a port a poty at 5.25 and then a GU at 7.   From here I did 2.5 out and back the other direction.    It was starting to warm up but I felt pretty good.  There was some sort of cross country thing taking place at Trinity Park and saw one of the girls from my ward running.  

The trail was extremely crowded today, cyclists, runners, walkers but it all made for lots of people to wave at.   I did a much better job pacing today and ended up with a nice progressive run.

PM 1.25 Shagging balls for my son in 107 degree temps.....I told him and my husband I don't know if I would do this again.  It seems to bother my knee and it is just plain hot!
