Anyone here from LA? Just wondering if we can get a community thread going.

Hi Ed,

Victorville is a little ways from LA for sure. Doesn't is get pretty warm for running in your area come summer? I can not imagine the amount of hydration you would have to do. You doing any races? I am doing a 10K in Simi Valley called the Gator Run on Memorial Day as well as the 1/2 Marathon in October in Long Beach.

Anyone else here from the Socal Area? Jeese between Santa Barbara and San Diego there must be 20 million people. Certainly some So-Cal runners are here.

Mike

Oh yeah, it can get pretty hot up here. During summer I either run in the very early morning, or usually I wait until late afternoon when it "cools down" to 85 or 90. :)

I look at it philosophically, though. What does not kill me makes me stronger. I am training for an adventure race in a year or two, so the more adverse the training conditions, the better. I have some 5K coming up July 4, September, November. along with a sprint triathlon coming up in December. Nothing peels off the pounds like multi-sport training!


See ya around,


Ed
