Single: Initially I was going to run today as a double but my schedule wasn't going to let that happen. I did have a big window this morning so I adjusted. My initial plan was for some more "hard" miles but I opted out for a few "MP" miles. I was wiped out from last week and actually slept nearly 8-hrs last night. Then got out the door at ~7am for a City Creek + MG extension run. I did the MP miles as 2X2 Avg. ~6:10. My HR monitor broke today. I looked down and it said 225 I took it off and carried it the rest of the way and it never went below 180?!? When I got back it turns out that there is a small crack near the battery and some sweat got in there and the battery ruptured... I'll call Garmin today or tomorrow and see if they'll replace it... The run otherwise was great. It was a little cool at the start especially in the canyon and then warmed up to almost hot by the end. The creek is so full of water and is so relaxing to listen to. Mi 13-R2 Avg. 8:04
