I just moved to one of the above from a mountain town and so far the trails are phenomenal. Loving it, so many sleeper areas. Problem is the heat is coming in fast. I’ve run quite a few hot hot races with good results, but how do you train in it? (I have traditionally done limited heat training for those races, and I naturally tolerate heat pretty well.) How do you adapt your schedule and program? I am used to some two a days and evening runs suck here. Do you just run less in the summer? Dreadmill, which I have historically reserved for speed work?

I am starting to think intensity needs to go down and try to cling to mileage as best I can over the summer. Quality workouts on the treadmill low and slow outside. I’m lifting more too since that’s inside.

I have a pretty good gear set up for heat but I am also open to tips on that. For sunny runs around 100F I wear:

- either half tights with sunscreen OR sun pants,
-sun hoodie,
-sun gloves,
-sunglasses,
-bucket or trucker hat with hoodie pulled over, and
-darn tough running socks
- sunscreen, sunscreen, sunscreen

I’ve been experimenting with double socks and toe lube which works pretty well in the heat but still getting hot spots on the balls of feet.

Any tips for the dry heat welcome!!

Moved to Henderson from out of state; seems very nice. Yesterday our neighbor (across a walkway; no shared walls) was BLASTING Mexican music, clapping, slamming the door repeatedly, shouting, and generally acting a fool all day long. I mean literally all day, it was impressive. It continued into the night. We don’t share a wall so that goes to show how loud he was being.

Today, it continued mid morning. A few hours ago he moved the party to his car, which he moved to directly in front of our ground floor unit. He started blasting music and slamming stuff into the trash- I mean blasting, bass and everything.

He then begins lurching around the complex in a full face mask; conspicuously near our unit but he is our neighbor…

One of our neighbors I think finally calls the cops. The cops come, talk to him for 20 mins, he turns the music off and they let him go. But on his way in this guy starts screaming into our peephole, PUTAS and FROGS.

That clued me in that it is also conspicuous that he parked right in front of our unit to blast his music for the majority of the day…

When the cops came and talked to him he kept looking at our unit and admittedly I was looking through the blinds periodically and he may have noticed.

So my question is: am I gonna die? What should I do? Obviously he didn’t commit a crime so the cops didn’t do anything but he had a public freakout at our front door when they left so I think he believes we called them….

Asking because my partner and I are moving there for work and are looking for a new credit card with a good intro offer for a larger purchase, plus need credit while I study for a licensing exam. We usually just camp when we travel but I think it would be fun if we had a Marriott card or something with a nice intro offer so we could do some stay-cations in Vegas. We also don’t like gambling we’re really just looking for some fun stays or activities.

Any tips?

I keep seeing that federal is king/state supreme court is below magistrate and district court in terms of marketability. Are there aspects of SSC clerkships that are marketable to certain firms? If you do a SSC clerkship should you really strive to do a fed clerkship (any level) afterwards to be competitive?

I have fairly diverse interests, all involving litigation. I am wondering if anyone has any tips about what types of firms to look into, timeline, and networking tips as an incoming SSC clerk.

I keep seeing all this stuff about firms not hiring ex-federal clerks and it's scaring me!
