Grand Junction, CO 7:30 pm Pace: 7:48 I was stressing about work, so I got up early and did prep work instead of running. Then it was 95 degrees when I got off, so I ate dinner and waited till 7:30. I drove to the trailhead on Monument Road and, instead of trail running, I continued up the road and into the Colorado National Monument. Very cool rocks. I started out sluggish but as it cooled down a little and I got used to the altitude and running uphill I felt better. I went steady uphill for 3.5 miles and then ran back faster.
