After the Saturday hilly run decided to give the legs a break from the extreme steepness of Loafer and instead ran up/down the more gentle inclines of lower Payson Canyon starting and ending at Peteetneet. Legs still heavy from Saturday but it wasn't too bad. Kept the pace nice & gentle overall average just under 9 min/mi.

Payson Canyon downhill run. Felt pretty good the first 8 miles but then the warm/muggy temps got to me and last 3 miles were no fun.

Ran with Dan mostly down Hobble with some up at the beginning. Crashed and burned so that last 6 or 7 miles were death march miles. I'm such a wimp in the heat. Looking forward to a much needed lower mileage rest week next week.
