Near 90 degrees at 4:30pm today and humidity very high. 6.5 miles fat burning with 3 x .25 miles walking thrown in to bring the heart rate down on account of humidity.

Looks like you have the same weather we have down here in Texas. You seem to be back in the swing of things - what are you training for?

Hey, good to hear from you. Right now I'm just working on my base and will continue to do so throughout the summer. Its just too brutal here, as there, to really train for anything of significance during the summer months. I'm thinking about doing the St Jude Marathon in Memphis in early December. Haven't decided yet though. We'll see where the training is at come late August.

Sounds like a plan - how is the St. Jude's course?

I am signed up for Steamtown on October 10th. So far I am adapting to the heat and humidity. I have gone out at lunchtime in full sun a few times. Brutal but good.

I am running about 30 seconds faster a mile than I was last year. I can go out and hit 7:40's 7:30's consistently and I feel pretty good. Most runs start in the low 8:00's and I pick up the pace on the last few. I have not done any real specific marathon training yet - just trying to stay around 60 miles a week with a recovery week every 4th week. We'll see how it goes over the summer. But all in all my body is handling the miles and consistent running much better than last year - but that is what one would expect.

If you're hitting 7:30s in that heat that's pretty significant. You can probably translate that down at least 30 seconds for cooler weather. Sounds like the training is starting to pay off.

On my end I'm paying the price right now for taking 6 months off. Most of my runs are hitting off just above 8:00s and even up as high as 8:20s as an average for the entire run. When its cool or if I run after 9pm I'm able to get down near 7:45s. So the plan is to just keep banging away at the AB for the next couple months.
