Sunday was pretty hot, but I managed to get out on the pavement before 8am to run the first hour in decent weather with a bit of shade. As the sun got higher in the sky, I ran quite a while on a small horse trail next to the pavement, which provided a fun change of scenery and some shade. 14 miles was a new long distance for me, and it wasn't too bad until the final 2 miles, at which point it was almost 10am, the sun was hot, and everything was soaked in sweat. I took it at a very leisurely 8:00-8:15/mile pace, with a couple stops to refill my Fuel Belt at a water fountain.
