1230 in afternoon easy pace 5 miler.   Hot but I felt good.  84-88 degrees. Amber felt awful.  She had downed two diet Coke's with caffeine 64 ounces total  yesterday on drive home from California.  And she has iron deficiency anemia      So those two together problems.  She rarely drinks caffeine and I can't take caffeine and run. For same reason.  Heart rate and breathing issues.  So she ran -walked 4 miles.  We started on trail by the old af hospital.  Up by art dye to bathroom by lone peak hs.  Water stops x2. Amber laid down in the ground. 9:36/9:15/8:36 for last half mile before turn around.  Restarted watch. 9:24 purposely slowing for Amber. But she is struggling  wanted me to go ahead but I woiod stop and check back on her a couple times. 8:56 anf 8:52 last half mile.
