Ran at Willow park with Misty, Sarah and Lily.  Lily and I did 2.5 out and made it back about 1.5 with a tempo and then finished the rest off. Very Hot! I may run another 4 if I can digest my dinner in time. 

I ate dinner (chili) and waited till 8:40 to run and figured it was long enough wait to digest my food.  I went up to the lake and did 5.66 more miles to make it an even 12. I made it to mile 10 when I thought I was going to throw up! that chili was a brewin!  I made it home with some short slow strides.

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.

I ran right when I got home because I had a dinner date. I went right when the weather was full sunlight. It sucked so I cut it down to 10. I was spent but glad I did it.

I ran from my house and did a 20 mile run today 10 was up to Butterfield Canyon and there was a bike race going on that started at Herriman High School. I carried water for 7.5 miles and then ditched it and kept going to mile 10 which was .25 miles up the Canyon thank goodness. I hit 5500' Elevation. Then it was a nice all down hill drop from there to 4400' at my house. I shouldve left earlier cause it got hot. Saw my neighbor Telisa and ran and talked with her a bit. Then tried to hit under 6 minute pace the last few miles but wasnt happening. Finally a good mileage week for me without issues.
