I agree - don&#39;t worry at all about time. Just get the miles in at any pace.<br /><br />I HIGHLY recommend a fuel belt. I hate carrying anything, so I try to plan my long runs where there are water fountains wherever possible. During marathons I safety pin my gu packs to my shorts on the outside.<br /><br />Hey - this sounds really obnoxious, but did you see the issue of Runners World about the right way to tie your shoes? If you tie them the right way there&#39;s no way that they would ever come undone. Google it and make sure you&#39;re tying them right. It&#39;s worth it so you won&#39;t trip or have to re-tie in a race... ;)Funnyrunnerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06871547075275345029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7001874779832700509.post-55807624328787736752009-09-01T04:01:30.816-04:002009-09-01T04:01:30.816-04:0016 miles is a great distance! And then followed up by 6 miles the next day is quite tough.

Don&#39;t worry about those splits. For the long runs its more about being on your feet for that distance and for that amount of time. I blew up my first 16 several of weekends ago and had splits much slower than yours.Ryan Castillohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18327677236500144678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7001874779832700509.post-11065031148996615122009-08-31T11:46:08.945-04:002009-08-31T11:46:08.945-04:00ok, wait. you did a 16 mile long run and then went out again with your speedy daughter! that&#39;s just incredible :)<br /><br />nice job on the long run! glad it went well for the most part. i&#39;m sure those slower-than-anticipated first miles were just some sludge in the legs, waking up, and a little mental game over how many miles were left to go?lindsayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17720800873803974929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7001874779832700509.post-8690932823516638672009-08-31T10:28:57.191-04:002009-08-31T10:28:57.191-04:00Awesome Job On The 16 Mile Run!The Tri Runnerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08827313004836345933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7001874779832700509.post-55194858528289396892009-08-31T08:38:00.243-04:002009-08-31T08:38:00.243-04:00I find that tucking the loops &amp; tails of my laces into my shoe helps keep them from untying. It is a bit uncomfortable at first having laces wedged between your foot and shoe, but you get used to it pretty quick.Kinthelthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13483700603133322147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7001874779832700509.post-3140320932133604802009-08-30T22:21:59.726-04:002009-08-30T22:21:59.726-04:00Great Job Tim. I picked up an ASICS water belt online from worldwide sports for around 20 bucks and i love it. It&#39;s got 2 bottles and a good sized pouch for gels, keys, cell phones etc. Keep up the good work!Luckyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04074194301398618006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7001874779832700509.post-13268045928712137182009-08-30T20:24:35.134-04:002009-08-30T20:24:35.134-04:00Congrats on the long run and on the not falling part.
