I did get to run outside this morning: 9:05 pace, felt like death.  It was 88 degrees, so not terrible, but my pace was bad yet it felt almost like a tempo; I even cut it short.  I'm hoping it has more to do with the fact that I just ran 12 hours ago, and not that I have somehow adapted to the TM and "learned" how to go faster on it.  If it's the latter I might be in trouble.  It wasn't a good sample though (short rest, 7th running day in a row, 1st morning run in 6 weeks, 1st outside run in 6 weeks, etc) so I won't draw conclusions yet, based just on that 1 run.

Ya lots of factors there! Way to rough it out though.

I think it's just all the circumstances surrounding the run--you will be fine!

Don't worry, I think you'll be fine. No doubt there are a few different muscles involved when you actually start pounding the streets (sand?), but getting back in the groove has always been quick for me.

Ew. Hate those runs! I think you had enough factors working against you--but I hope you get to run outside again soon!

Only 88? It must've been real early. Did you notice any bats flying around this morning because I didn't. Seems like they took this Wednesday off.

Thanks all, will try again Friday morning and let you know how it goes. Hopefully all this TM running hasn't been a waste of time.

Mike, it was about 4:30am - didn't see any bats. I started just before it got light. I went to throw away a Gatorade bottle and kicked what I thought was a stick out of the way - turns out it was barbed wire and I had to yank a couple barbs out of my leg...nice start to the run.
