Intensity of 4 because I had such a rough time w/ the heat. Certainly not because of the pace! Trail run @ Matson Hill. 91F and the rocks were slippery due to the humidity. After the first mile, I thought "I feel fine - this isn't that hot", then really started struggling after mile two. Walked the last hill. Matson Hill and Oxen Mill loops.

Walking last hill @ Matson. No issues w/ horseflies -- maybe too hot for them??

Another handful of slow laps at Chesterfield Aquatic Center. And a bunch of unlogged slide tower climbs w/ kiddo. Plus some pool running. So sad that tomorrow is closing day!

Had to drop car @ Dobbs in the valley so did a quick out and back on the Monarch Levee trail while waiting. Not a lick of shade. And hot!

A handful of laps in the competition pool @ Chest. Fam. Aquatic Ctr. 15 min. of swimming is hard!! Ha - kind of pathetic.

Plus did at least 1,000 steps climbing the tower to the big slides w/ son. But not logging that. Top speed on green slide has to be around 25 mph - FAST. And FUN.

Brought the bike to work and planned to ride to and from the KM gym but deadlines intervened. Not atypical. Heavy bag, sparring and KM classes. Battle rope intervals in the heavy bag class...owwwwch. In a very good way, of course.
