14.2 Got a late start this morning and it was getting warm. Headed up the canyon trail to the start of the USG 5k. Goals today were to go long(not more than 15, and get a good tempo in) When I started my tempo back down the canyon I had already ran over 7 miles and was hot and tired. My effort level was high but times were not great. Hit mile 1 at 5:35 and 2 miles at 11:30 so already slowing down. Had to stop for a quick drink during the 3rd mile. Those last 2 miles were tough. finished with a 23:35 for the 4 mile tempo. Basically crawled back home, stopping at every water hole I could think of.
