Late AM run - ate the Bob Evan's Father's Day Breakfast, and felt it.  Temps rose quickly after the 10:30 start.  One bathroom stop on the out and back to Harrison Lakes.  14.21 miles slow - 2:06:59.  Suffered some less than comfortable heartburn the whole way.  Hot!

AM 5k race starting at Mill Race PArk.  No intentions of a fast day.  10am start left everybody a little slower at the finish.  Ran over to M. Race from the house and then went through the course once at roughly MP prior to race. 

Really no freshness/pop in the legs at all.  Struggled with 6 min. pace and slowed throughout actual race.
