I usually only run by time, in training for IMs probably average around 8 minute pace and always shoot to run for an hour at minimum when I go running (if I am out there might as well make it count), next week should be about 40 miles of running or so.

Misery loves company.
Friday morning swim sounds great. Were coming up on Thursday. May leave in the middle of the night and try and get there around lunch time on Thursday. Staying at the Best Western in LP.
