Planned to do a 7k practice run this morning, but could only run 4k, felt defeated.  I think there were 2 possible reasons for the upset, one was that I got ambitious and used up a lot of the strength at the beginning of the run, and second was the scorching sun.

It was 30 degrees in mid-November!  The climate is seriously getting out-of-whack as many environmental scientists have been proclaiming for many years, and I see everywhere was just business-as-usual, when will we humans wake up and notice the environmental alarms?!  Sigh.
