 9:43's.  I could not add any speed at all to the run.  My goal was to just get through it before 8:00 a.m.  Yesterday, I did a few fast(er) 1/16th segments (every third triangle marking on the trail)--but it was so hot and my son was talking to me in a way that I found upsetting and distracting. So it was not a good effort.  I just couldn't muster the strength to do any speed today.  I hope that being on vacation will give me a bit of a break.  I have not had one second of mental down time in over 7 months.  I had a brief respite in March, but I am wound so tight, and then getting sick put me behind by 2 weeks in every way.  Maybe it's just the week before and the week after vacation suck and that's the way it is.

Great run! It is such a bummer when the legs have no juice :p You are going to have such a GREAT vacation! The coast is the #1 way for me to de-stress and I bet it will work for you too!

NO worries about the running stuff. May be those chicken feet were the culprit?!! :) I'm with Marion, the beautiful east coast is a GREAT way to de-stress. Enjoy your vacation. You deserve a break from the kids, the training, the Utah heat! When you get back, we will have fun doing the JRP.
