Keeping things going here.
Scored another personal best in speed training this week; 6 miles @ 47:09 (7:52/mi). Feeling strong and ready for Surf City 10 this Sunday.
Going to try and stick with the 10mi/80:00 pace group for as long as possible. If things go well, I might have a shot and a sub-1:45 in the Vegas half marathon in 3 weeks.
*fingers crossed* Once I get my feet figured out, we should strava. Seems like you're reasonably close to those paces. But I think you'll want to get that 10km(almost) sub 7:45. Though does it make sense to do a hard 6 miler that close to your 10 miler? Or is the 10 mile incidental on the path of the 1:45 1/2. I'm intrigued to see how the 10 goes. What's your weekly milage?
Right now about 20-25. That's all the time I can dedicate at the moment with my crazy schedule. 
You're right in that the 10 miler is a training run for me. I've run this pace/distance once before prior to the OC Marathon. But weekly mileage back then was closer to 25-30.
I'm on Runkeeper and have been thinking about Strava. Seems a lot of y'all use it.

I'm about a month out from my Half, PR target of 1:30. One of my speedwork days I've been taking Ironmom's advice and doing 2x3200 repeats at/slightly faster than race pace.
The first week was tough, last week was a little better, and this week it feels like I had enough left over to do another repeat at goal pace. Not sure how much taper I'm going to do before the race, maybe 1.5 weeks or so. I'm averaging 35-40mpw the past ~8 weeks, and 30-35mpw for a few months prior to this.
I'm feeling mostly confident a 1:30 is possible with my training plan and how I've been feeling (compared to my previous Half PR 2:03 7+ months ago). It's been in the mid 60's when I run lately, I'm hoping it'll be 10-15 degrees cooler next month for my attempt which would correspond to a slightly lower average heart rate.
From yesterday, splits 2-3, and 5-6 are the interval:
Splits Time Dist AvePace BstPace AveHR MaxHR Cadence stride

Sandbagger. 
No shit!
Sounds like he went for a stoll on the first one.
Either way, 90 minute half is quick.

...and more good news. Got picked up for the LA Marathon courtesy of my friend at Asics. Still have to confirm the spot but was told it looks goood.
Looks like I get to kick up the mileage after Vegas.

Did my usual loop today a bit more briskly than I usually do.
3.28 miles/30:02/9:09 pace
Not fast compared to you maniacs, but compared to my usual 9:30-10:15 pace, pretty quick. I was pressed for time squeezing that run in before friends came over to go out to dinner. They were here when I got back, doe.

14 mile long run today. Wife wanted to go easy and I didn't protest too much since this is the distance where my hamstring started causing problems during training for my first full.
Of course after my wife says she wants to go easy and complains on every uphill stretch that I am going faster than I should be, she says at the end that she is unhappy with our overall pace. 
Overall pace was 9:33/mile. That does not count eighteen minutes of stopping for traffic and trying to figure out why we couldn't get out of a park. I think we need to not go west into the suburbs for any more long runs - too many traffic lights and not enough sidewalks.
Bright side is that we did as suggested above and turned it up for the last three miles: 8:57, 9:02 and 8:50.
15 miles next week.

To me you're not that slow :D, you just cruised around at my 1/2 goal pace (which I missed by :24s/ mile) 
I did a 5.0 yesterday afternoon, avg'd 8:54 and I hard to work pretty hard (HR was around 150 the whole back half) which I'm not happy about but whatever

My wife and I figured out long ago that we just can't run together.
Got in a nice 9 mile run up at Pt. Mugu yesterday. Climbed a decent peak right over the water:

Holy crap. I disappear for a couple days and come back to people posting all types of activity. Nice job guys.
Finished the Surf City 10 with the work group today. About 15 total made it out. I didn't hit my stretch goal but came damn close.
10 miles @ 80:46
#151 of 1665
Runkeeper splits:
- 9:06 (1+ min delay)
- 8:02
- 7:57
- 7:45
- 7:49
- 8:00
- 7:46
- 8:23 (mile 8-9 for gel pack)
- 8:31
- 8:04
Overall I'm pretty stoked and will be a confidence booster for Vegas. And I think I may have surprised some coworkers as they know I keep a crazy-busy schedule.

Thanks man. I think you'll do fine in the 5K/Tri. When I did the OC Chili Race series there was 800-1000 ft of vert on the 10 miler. Slowed me down about 2-3 minutes overall.
That bike portion sounds nasty though.

...and more punishment on the horizon. I officially got in for the 2015 LA Marathon. Time permitting, I'd like to train for a sub-4 hour goal.
I'll be picking up the mileage in December.

I was on vacation this weekend and ran a Half while I was at it. I swear the course was exactly a half-mile short, but whatever. I did a rookie mistake in running the race in new shoes, this is because I was visiting family and I had bought shoes to leave there last time I visited, so this was first time I have been there since and ran in those shoes. It gave me pretty bad shin splints on my left leg for ~4 miles, which slowed me down, but I got through it. I ended up doing about a 1:46, which is awesome, considering the cramps, forgot my Clif Blox (so had nothing to eat beforehand nor during the race) and it also has a sizable hill, which I don't really get in Florida. It makes me feel good about the full Marathon I am training for in December and want to go sub 4.
Recently I feel like I've gotten my nutrition figured out on long runs, have been able to do 19-21 mile runs and feel good during, and most importantly, after the run! Pretty excited about that and the weather cooling off in Florida is making me want to run all the time.

Considering you're already under 8 for the half, and can pound out 19-21 with no problems, you sound like you are well ahead of goal. My guess is you'll land somewhere in the 3:30-3:40 range.
Nicely done!

Nah they're Brooks Pure Connect 2's, which is what I run in. I'm just blaming them for the way my legs were feeling, because that's the only difference compared to my normal daily runs here in Florida. It only lasted miles 2-6, after that was fine, I also ran 6 and 4.25 mile runs in those shoes and was fine. So I'll see how I feel doing tonight's 10 mile run and see if I have any issues.
I'd love to be doing under 3:45, my last 21 mile run was 3:35, which not a race or anything it made me think 4 hours is doable. My only other full was 4:49, so dropping down to 4 would be awesome. I'm no Boston level quick guy lol.

I'm sitting here getting fatter and taking the entire week off [except for swimming which I think only makes me a slower runner haha] [I just one-upped your skipped workout bro]
I didn't do one bit of exercise last week.
Boom

Too bad I'll miss you; be there in the area the week after. Though I'm surprised you waited this late to register. Guessing it's pretty intense for the average Joe. 
Awesome photo BTW.
