10+ miles at 10 o'clock at night...

Let's see if I can sleep...

I've been increasing my long runs and have run several 10-mile runs in recent weeks. With several races in the coming months, I wanted to make sure that I could train in the heat and hit longer distances. Surprising, at least to me, I haven't had near the problem I had in past years with heat and humidity. Admittedly, I've been running late and doing my best to make use of the lake breezes, but I've found it easier to keep my 9 min per mile pace than ever before.

But, my long runs always make it difficult to get to sleep. Later sunsets mean later and later runs. With a 5:45AM wake-up time, we'll see how it goes...
