I realized that my next double digit race is only 8 weeks away. So Friday I went and grinded out 10 miles @ 1:25:06. Goal is to get under 8 min/mile by mid October. I think it's doable with some consistency.

sick! I had a good long run last night after it cooled off/was stumbling in the dark. 8.5m @ 9:30 avg pace [goal pace was 10:00--10:30], first long run I've felt comfortable with in a looooong time. Until last night it has been feeling like I've gotten slower 
got an int tri in 4 weeks, and a half in 5, followed by a swim meet in 6 weeks [signed up for 50m free, 100 IM, and 400m free]
so I really only have 3 more weeks of training, then a nice fat taper hehe. [tapering everything but the swimming which is... already basically tapered year round hehe]
On a sidenote: I seem to be running a lot better now that I just go on 'perceived effort, glance at pace once in a while', vs. looking at the HR monitor all the time. Less is more.
I'm kind of anticipating a blow-up in miles 10-13 or so of my upcoming half. Just figure I'd call it and get that out of the way.  [I am hoping to go out around 8:45 pace and see what happens lolol--remember I started jogging in feb of this year and just crossed 300 miles YTD heh]

Nice work man. I believe consistency is far more important than pace; at least the first time out. 
Just found out Meb Keflezighi will be running in my pace group for the Las Vegas Half. Stoked!

[I signed up probably optimistically for the 1:55 corral hehe]

So I figured out how to get through the pain. Basically it appears to be a huge knot on the inside of my calf, and if I push on it hard it goes down. Then stretch, then push and then it doesnt hurt. So I ran yesterday 6 miles, biked 10 miles today. Planning on running 5 miles tomorrow. Should be back on track.

This morning I signed up for my 2nd ultra, because I'm an idiot I guess. Signed up for the Cremator in July in South Carolina. This is a road ultra ran in the heat and pretty flat. I signed up for the double, so it will be 50 miles on Saturday and 50 miles on Sunday (there's even a triple to add 50 on Monday!).
Looking forward to it as I've been wanting to sign up for an ultra lately, but am picky and wanted to do a road ultra, which is the opposite of most of you guys here. But I figure the running in Florida will be good training for this ultra, as opposed to a mountain ultra on trails and 25k ft of elevation lol.
Also currently at week 5 of marathon training, so that's going well and enjoying it, December will be my 2nd marathon, keeping pace with my marathons and ultras I guess lol.

If by "most" you mean the 3-4 guys that dominate the discussion here, then I guess you'd be right.

I mean as far as ultras are concerned more people do trails, more races are trails, and the guys here certainly do trail ultras.
I gotta figure out how to train for this double 50 miler as well. I might just do the Relentless Forward Progress for 40mile-100k training one and maybe make the Sunday runs slightly longer or something. Having 10 months to prepare will be good, lol.

You're insane. that race sounds miserable on every level other than crossing the finish line.  This morning I signed up for my 2nd ultra, because I'm an idiot I guess. Signed up for the Cremator in July in South Carolina. This is a road ultra ran in the heat and pretty flat. I signed up for the double, so it will be 50 miles on Saturday and 50 miles on Sunday (there's even a triple to add 50 on Monday!).

Says Mister sub 30 Leadville. I'm not sure if that should make me more or less scared of it. :P At least I'll have an overnight break from running, though that probably only means day 2 I'll fall out of bed and have to crawl 50 miles lol.

I've never run using sunblock. I use a sweatband under a hat and sunglasses, along with clothes, lol. But don't put anything on my legs/arms/face at all. Even running through the summer in FL I haven't used anything and never got sunburn.

Got the dreaded email today... Spartan Race postponed due to extreme heat. Can't blame them though. The Spartan Sprint is an entry level race. And it was supposed to be 105* during our wave.
Waiting for new date. Hoping it doesn't overlap another race.

I was supposed to run 17 today, made it 16.2, just was back at the house and had no motivation to do the last bit. I really gotta figure out my nutrition on these runs longer than a half-marathon. I can't figure out if I take too little water, like today I only took in probably 12oz, heh. But my stomach gets upset with too much it seems. I was good for 10 miles, 10-13 was a little slower but ok, then 13 on was probably half walk and half run.
This is the first run over 14 miles I've done all year, so it is to be expected to not be fun. I usually do long runs with Clif Bloks, which I like, my stomach isn't a real big fan of GU. Unfortunately I don't have one of those iron stomachs that can do whatever. In total today for my run I had a bagel prerun, 5/6th of a Clif Bloks pack and about 12 oz of Propel. So, yeah, that didn't work out. I want to try to eat more, not sure if I should just do a bunch of Clif Bloks or perhaps some real food with it. This is marathon training week 8 of 18 done so have a bit to figure it out.
