With Rhett and I running the rim to rim grand canyon, Rhett informed me it was time to start running trails. We headed out to the desert at 6AM and it was already pretty hot. We started on the trails and I felt really good until about mile 11. At that point it was getting very hot and I was out of water. My legs felt fine, but my body only wanted shade and water. Rhett had some water and shared it with me so that helped a lot, but the heat of the desert was intense for me. I made it 13 miles, but it took about everything I had. Sure am hoping next week it is cooler for our 16 mile run.
