Challenging to run with the heat, even in evening and morning now its warm.

Running on sandy trails is that good or bad, seems good in ways as its more work but also more hazardous for possible injury?

Saw 2 deer, a fox and a rabbit which was kind of nice running in this undeveloped city park.

Back of my right foot above heelis bothering me a little. Can run some once sun is setting but it still is hot

Another so-so race for me, but I wasnt discouraged as at least I tried. It was a crowded July 4 race at Murray. Cant say I liked the course - running out and back on State Street, isnt very enjoyable - its too wide of street,one of the main ones in Salt Lake and almost no shade. On top of that it was a red flag air day with all the valley pollution. Might as well run on Interstate 15. Yes Yes Yes - I know it was my choice to run, seems like they could have a more desirable route, but maybe that would be difficult because of all the runners and the planned parade to follow. I just dont like big city streets and dont do well in heat. Still Im glad I ran. I think I had a pretty steady pace. I think I was 271st of 812 runners which is still good and 15th of 27 runners in 50-54 year age group. My son Alex did his best ever as a 10 year old easily winning his age group at 21:23.

Need to look at getting another pair of shoes. The lightweight shoes I have dont seem to give me enough support and I feel them easily pounding the pavement

Dimple Dell - 5miles, course is getting too sandy with all the horses and dry weather.

Also hiked 3 miles in steep terrain for work so Ill count that as 1 mile

Found a 5K route marked near our house, measured it in car - appears close to accurate so may run that some day

Dimple Dell Ran late at night so I can avoid the sun,although it was still hot.

I just estimate my mileage,ran for 48 minutes so maybe I ran further than 5
