Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance
6.25	2.00	8.25

Met Saskia for 6 miles and then grabbed a drink and went out for 2 MP - 8:02 and 7:41. I was very shocked that the first mile was 8:02, everytime I looked down it seemed in the high eights and the effort was hard. I was feeling so confident on Saturday and after today I am very worried....

Due to this ridiculous heat (normally I am a fan but this is out of control) we are water rationing. This means my favorite end of run sprinklers are now turned off - AAHH! I miss them already! They were such a sweet little treat at the end of a run.

Jody,

It was great meeting you today in person! I look forward to running with you more!

Did you ever get your Garmin working? Mine wouldn't turn on this morning and I had to do a hard reset to get it to work. Have you tried pushing the power, mode and lap button at the same time and holding it for several seconds. Then push the power button once. That's what worked for me.

For whatever reason my ipod also stopped working in mile 9 today. It was like all my equipment decided today was the day they were going to revolt!

I'll see you at the Labor Day race on Monday. :)
