Notes
Whilst looking for someone to run with, I got invited to run with the Hilltoppers, a summer high school running camp. I'm not the biggest fan of running with high schoolers but I was willing. I got the fast group and only 3 kids joined me so I wasn't thinking it would be too difficult. Of course we started off faster then they could handle and we steadily slowed down and eventually dropped 2 of them. The other was likely a good runner but not ready for that heat and he slowed down quickly over the last few miles. Finished 8.5 with him and went back for the others. I, too, was dehydrated and glad to not go fast the whole time. A bigger problem was some stomachaches I had the whole run.
