I can also relate to not getting out there and actually doing it when I'm supposed to. Keep up the good work. I can't wait to read more about your DDD training and the RnR Seattle.

I was never a fan of running on a treadmill, I know and understand the importance of it for people who live in inclement weather. I have just been lucky in where I live that my seasons are mild enough to be able to run regardless.<br />I'm looking forward to that feeling again, that I'm a runner. It's been a while since I've felt that. Though I'm glad you're feeling it, because lady, you certainly, without a doubt, a badass runner.Lenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497080625352955794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8115633875439405682.post-76997036669785139262013-06-13T08:14:25.294-07:002013-06-13T08:14:25.294-07:00Oh no!

I'm glad nothing bad happened!<br /><br />As for my training, I don't think I'll run more than 13, I will try and run 13 a couple of times so that I can get more comfortable with the distance. But I don't feel it is necessary to run further than that distance.Lenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497080625352955794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8115633875439405682.post-85839323709162729002013-06-12T21:04:33.214-07:002013-06-12T21:04:33.214-07:00I am actually using the current Runner's World...I am actually using the current Runner's World Run Streak to A) Help me train more outside (rolling hills & HOTlanta) B. Train Brewer to run with me on a leash AND try to wear him the F o-u-t! It's weird, I'm finally starting to feel more like a runner lately. Not sure why yet, but there's a different sensation to running outside than on a treadmill in a controlled environment. I'm still unsure about how my long runs will play out outside, so I still have a lot to figure out!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03630756676402574443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8115633875439405682.post-30254458549504204032013-06-12T16:56:10.596-07:002013-06-12T16:56:10.596-07:00Hydration is really key in heat.

I almost passed out from heat exhaustion at my first DL 1/2. :/ On another note, in your training, are you planning to run further than 13.1 miles? I know Dumbo is technically 19.3 (of course you have that 5k, too!), but since it's over two days, I'm thinking I won't need to run anything longer than 13 miles during training. Thoughts?

I did know that I felt better once I got more fluids in me, so I know now that I can't rely on just what's in my bottles during a long hot run.Lenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497080625352955794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8115633875439405682.post-70637194650647227502013-06-12T15:23:32.633-07:002013-06-12T15:23:32.633-07:00Me too!

I adjusted my running when I ran the PHM this year because temps and humidity was so high, I had never run in weather like that before and I hydrated WAY more than I usually do.<br />I normally do try to run early, but with temps starting to climb like they are, I'm going to have to start earlier. Or just use it as hot weather training to get me ready for Dumbo in LA! :)Lenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497080625352955794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8115633875439405682.post-73152665305070625982013-06-12T15:21:23.055-07:002013-06-12T15:21:23.055-07:00Thanks Jen!

During the winter or cold cloudy weather, I don't bring as much water or fuel and I also push myself harder. If it's warm or sunny, I take it slower and go for just the distance. I also drink more water and fuel earlier. If my last meal was over an hour before the run, I fuel earlier, too.

Nice job on the 11 miles. I'm unsure of how the seasons effect me, I wasn't running this much mileage last year so I don't know. It was pretty muggy this morning but it didn't seem to make a difference, it seems like the breeze in my face from running (and the plethora of sweat...I sweat gallons!) seems to keep me going pretty well in warm weather. I run EARLY in the morning though, so no blazing hot sun on me.

I can't wait to hear about the Seattle RnR :) I sometimes doubt myself while I'm doing my long runs, so I have to shut that voice out in my head and then I get more focused :) You're doing great!
