13 mi. Today was the Palm Beach County Ocean Mile Swim - great, but I ran instead looking to strengthen my legs and lungs in the mid summer heat. I ran 3 with Charlotte before the group, then the usual 10 with the Running Sports Group at 6am. I missed the start due to a … Continue reading This feels normal again

20 mi My gold star Tuesday came about because I didn't want to wake up early again Wednesday morning. I came back from work and decided to do the Singer Island loop. I averaged 20.4, not bad considering traffic and completely stopping at some lights, which hardly ever happens on a 5am start. I brought … Continue reading TT to round it out
2000 yards Barely squeezing in time for the workout and the drive to and from the pool, here's what a full Tuesday looked like poolwise...

5 mi. After a 1 mi warmup that really showed me how warm it was, I commented to Charlotte how last week's track session was full of 200s and 3oos, good for my first one back in awhile. That was all I needed to say - this workout was mostly long stuff that taxed my … Continue reading Don’t try to out guess Paul.
2000 yds I keep doing these Tri Faster workouts iPhone app workouts and emailing them to myself in hopes of putting them on the blog, but there's a disconnect in the mailing process that keeps them from getting back to me. Yes, the IT guy is having problems sending reliable emails to himself! Here's what … Continue reading Missing swims?
8mi. During the 1 mi warmup I was questioning my breathing. Each lap of 6 on the bridge was tough, I felt very lazy and slow. I noticed a difference between good leg and injured side, but no ill effects on the hill. It was humid and dark - the east side of the bridge … Continue reading The:Last:Bridge:Runner
50mi. I rode with Chiara, Walter, Stanton, Charlotte, Carolyn. It was a warm morning and it proved to be a good workout. Chiara was ready to go, keeping a good pace to and from the start point. I used Carbo Pro in the water bottle, and half/half G2 & water. My legs felt good, my … Continue reading A good brick!
10mi. Ordinarily, a holiday weekend means more time to run and ride long. That's when I'm not injured or recovering - a regular start at the store run yielded a warm 10 mi for me today, with no lingering effects afterwards. I ran with Suzanne and a guy named Richard Powell. We saw Mimi running, … Continue reading Saturday’s are back, too!
8mi. Joined by Walter, I ran the mile warmup and cooldown and a slow 6 miles of hills. No ill effects from my left calf muscle, which was the hope. I think it was the warmest 5am start ever on the bridge, my car said 86 degrees. It at one point driving there said 89, … Continue reading Bridge Tues
30mi. Having just returned from Colorado and Utah where little structured activity occurred, I went riding to Bridge Rd and back with Chiara and Walter. We kept a good pace 22+ going there, then got subjected to the wind coming home. I looked to keep my speed while pulling over 20mph, but I saw some … Continue reading Spin the wind after a layoff
