76F, low wind.  Insanity last night was "pure cardio."  You know it's bad when all the fit-looking people in the video are dropping like flies.  This morning - recovery run, 5 @ 8:54 AP.

There's a race here Friday evening (9pm-midnight): run as many 1-mile laps as you can in 3 hours.  The problem is that the high is 105 on Friday, meaning it will still be close to 100 when the race starts, and maybe low-90s by race finish at midnight.  I thought it was a cool concept but not sure about those temps.  May just enter anyway and go for 21 miles (8:34 pace).  Anything faster seems dangerous; actually 8:34 may even be asking a lot, I really have no idea when it gets that hot.

I think that race should be call "Insanity". It doesn't sound fun to me right now!

That is some amazing heat you are dealing with. I like heat, but I cannot imagine running in that. At least the sun won't be beating down on you. The race sounds like a neat concept. Something different. Good luck.

Holy Crap! Those temps are crazy! It got up to 60 degrees here today. Too bad I can't run!!!!!

Good grief, they do that every Friday night straight through the summer? Sounds like Badwater training or something.

Race in 95 degree heat?! I think my plan would be 9 minute miles & hydrate for a minute after each one! Anything over 18 miles would be amazing ... stay hydrated!!

From SlowJoe on Tue, Jun 14, 2011 at 10:32:08 from 132.3.53.68

IJR - they actually have a 6-hour option. Those people should be locked up.

Stacy - lack of sun is the reason I think I will attempt it...we'll see if it helps

Rye - that nice weather is really teasing you

Flat - no, not every week, just this week (summer solstice). Usually I think it's in the mid-80s but this heat wave ups the ante a bit

JG - will do - definitely need to go by feel, not pace!

That doesn't sound like fun in the heat, but definitely interesting. It would be cool if you accidentally ran a marathon.

From SlowJoe on Tue, Jun 14, 2011 at 23:14:40 from 184.79.24.255

Yes, that would be cool. If I could accidentally run a marathon in 95 degrees in less than 3 hours, I wouldn't be doing this race. I'd be off collecting my award for Most Super-Human Runner in the History of Running.
