I really cant wait for my new job to begin so I can run in the morning again! I dread these heat killing runs! I took a water bottle with me this time which I dread but I found myself having to drink every mile from my house going up to Butterfield Canyon. It was around 7 minutes every mile going up. I walked to drink and ended up drinking the whole bottle by mile 7. It was a monument of a family that settled in Herriman just off 130th. I saw a boy playing soccer in his front yard and had him fill my bottle up with water for the run home. I stopped every mile to drink and kept running down this time and was getting close to 6:40 pace. When I hit mile 11 I decided to try and get under 6 minutes for the next 2 miles. I hit 5:59 and 5:32. I had to walk by this point as I was thrashed. I have a hard time running with something in my hands. It definitely slows me down. I jogged the last mile home and ran in 1:39.

That sounds like quite a hard run. I cannot run in the heat. 70 degrees is hot to me. Nice job.

Nancy, its so much easier in the morning for sure. I cant wait to be able to try and BBK it up again. Maybe in a week? who knows. Depends if my first assignment for my new job is going to be in Wyoming or not. I let myself go though so running in the heat will get my body weight back to normal. lol You know Im kidding right?

Running in the heat is killer. Way to get the miles in, and smart to bring water :)

REALLY? You run slow with a water bottle? 1:39 for 14 miles! I ran as fast as my legs could go to get 1:38 for 13miles. You are so stinking fast! Nice job...nice run!

Thanks Carina. I would've dropped like a fly without it.

Amy, it sloshes around and gets me out of rhythm as soon as I ditched it on mile 12 that's when my time dropped. I need to find one that doesn't bug me or have someone follow me and feed me grapes and juice.

Haha! If you find someone sweet enough to do that, give me their number! ha! I agree...I hate carrying water. It bothers me and slows me down (if possible). I don't really think I could get much slower! :(

I like running up behind the capital because it has water stations up it and I can plan my run to them.
