8 mi. So I'm figuring I'd be alone for the first 30 minutes of the run. Not to be, here's Teresa O. parking next to me at 4:55am saying it's time for her to change her schedule to earlier with school starting in a week. YES! we ran all 6 miles together, a good pace … Continue reading Solo, but not for long.

40 mi. Not looking to be away from John for too long, I chose a shorter than most ride. I arrived early to the parking lot but ended up being one of the last riders to leave the park. I saw Austin's new Shiv, a surprise purchase while he was up in NC... great bike … Continue reading A new park on the route
16 mi. First day running with a new generation Garmin vs the Timex Garmin relic I had stopped using years ago. I didn't look at the instructions, just charged it and wore it. I guess I have to get the settings correct and establish a Garmin Connect account. I ran early with Adrienne Papa, Steve … Continue reading 16 – get in line.
5 mi. Paul mixed up the workout intervals some today, never letting us go too long. Between myself, Erica (back from 3 mos off with injury) and Perry, no one knew what was coming next. 1 mi warmup 100m w/100m recovery 200m w/100m recovery 300m w/100m recovery 500m w/200m recovery 600m w/200m recovery 400m w/200m … Continue reading A unpredictable set, even for the experts.
7.5 mi. Charlotte's last showing at this run as a Florida resident is met with a slight breeze and no lights on the bridge at all. She wanted to run on the sidewalk, but I guess wanted someone to talk with even more so she stayed in the street. Walter departs for NZ today but … Continue reading Dark again?
3/8mi, 13mi, 5k This was a good outing, the threat of a tropical storm interfering with the race faded as the race date drew closer. The pre-race show Friday night was in its usual cramped Jupiter Resort ballroom. I got a neat Tri Running Sports hat from Linda to wear on the run - very … Continue reading Loggerhead Triathlon ’11
20mi. I met Adrienne at her home in San Michele, pumped up my tire and joined in the group of seven riding this am. Lanae Barnes, Lilia, Erica, Teresa and two guys I don't know went thru PGA and Mirasol to total 20 miles at a 20-22mph pace. Good ride, and I arrive home quickly … Continue reading 20 bonus mile ride
4 mi. I didn't do the cool down because I rode 20 with the girl group and didn't want to start out late. Low attendance, maybe for Loggerhead tapering, who knows? It was hot and still, I ran very conservatively slow. Here's the workout from Paul, who is heading to London to watch his daughter … Continue reading Pre race spin around
8mi. Is it really posible that there be NO breeze at all so close to the sea? I was the first person at the bridge, thankfully I only had to run one lap alone before Kyle Smith joined me for 2-6. He pressed hard on the back side of laps 5 & 6. My legs … Continue reading Still
