As someone who gets impressed with himself on the rare occasion when the pace goes to low 8's, it's impressive to me. ![dunno](/images/graemlins/default/dunno.gif)
I was surprised at my bump in pace post-MS150, though. The increase in stamina seems to have sped me up a bit.

It's all relative out there. Always someone faster. And hopefully someone slower. ![laugh1](/images/graemlins/default/laugh1.gif)
I think most of us are simply in competition with ourselves anyway. I think with enough time and focus anything is achievable.

I think you guys are underestimating the effects of distance. Moof said 1-2 miles right?
43:00 10k (7mins) getting pretty fast 14 mine 2 mile(7mins), above average, but far from noteworthy. Not unreasonable to feel fresh after that.

Yeah night timing trail running makes me stoked. That said I can't imagine the stoke lasting all night. 3am is a lonely tiring hour no matter what you're doing

Try an early morning run if you can, after things have cooled the night before.
The tri training has forced me to limit my mileage the last few months. I only average about 10 miles/week. But the IT band issue has completely subsided. Next race isn't until November; might sign up for Long Beach or R&R LA to keep things motivating.

Early morning still sucks. Tomorrow at 6am it is 80 with 97% humidity. Sounds like you're already doing most of the common sense stuff. There is some adaptation your body goes through for operating in the heat. It's supposed to take around 2 weeks for total acclimation.
Some of my runner friends swear by doing an easy 5k around the hottest part of the day for 2 weeks. They say their pace at the arbitrary effort level goes up slowly over the two week period. I haven't tried it yet, but might give it a shot this year.

My first bib--for Thursday's 10k
Apparently around 6500 runners between the 5k and the 10k, so I'm likely gonna carry my own water, as the aid stations will likely be a clusterfuck. Did 4 thi afternoon. Should be an interesting experience--even at my "jogger" pace.

Half year update. I've ran 524.60 miles total this year. (298.33 first quarter and 226.27 second quarter) I'm happy with this as I wanted to scale back and run 200 a quarter for a total of 800 this year. Trying to get out as much as I can, but running right now in Florida is brutal. Even running at 8am it is 85 out and feels like 90. Last night was nice I did 5 miles and got rained on for the first 2 miles, which was fun because it cooled things off and made the last 3 miles nice. Past 3 days have been runs of 6 miles (bridge/hill repeats), 7 miles and 5 miles. Tonight is a beach run, probably do 4 miles.
Got no races coming up right now, all the races here are in Winter when it is actually decent out.
I also got a bike and have been biking to work, so this past month alone I biked ~330 miles. Though they're almost entirely easy miles and not hard miles.

Whopping 230 (238 I think) for the year. The good news is I'm healthy, and quick by my standard.
I'll take it. Shooting for 520 for year. Which based on my recent mileage so be no sweat. I was shooting for 700, but based on my foot taking me out for a few weeks here and there that's just not realistic for my first year "consistently" running.

June totals:
bike: 250 miles-ish run: 60 miles-ish swim: 10-11 hrs in the water
making a little progress here and there. I'm afraid I may have regressed a little on swimming but at practice last night I was still making my intervals and even made a 400y interval sub 5:00, so it's all probably in my head

My very first half-marathon was supposed to have water stations every 2 miles, in actuality it was more like every 3.5-4 miles. When I got to the first one, they were giving out those super tiny paper cups that hold maybe 1/3 cup of water. I figured fine I'll deal, when I took a sip it was 90% crushed ice. Since then I always bring a minimum amount of my own water just incase.

I think I've nursed the IT band long enough. Decided to go back out for a slightly faster run tonight which felt good. 6 miles and no issues (yet). Going to do strength tomorrow and then resume 8 min miles late this week.
Need to make room for BBQ!
