4.5 mi I did a quick half mile parking lot lap with Walter, Teresa and Paul. Those were cautious steps, but I really felt better than after a marathon for a speedy time. Ironically, I showed Paul where the individual bathrooms were... not knowing a mere 2 laps into my run I'd be scrambling to … Continue reading Learn a new lesson

62 mi The thought of how hot is was supposed to be didn't phase me, I know Florida is this way, and I was confident the heat wasn't going to get me. I did the packet pickup Friday night with Suzanne, a quick in-and-out of the meeting then a dinner at a Zuccharelli's restaurant in … Continue reading Palms 100
5 mi Did the track workout, but very conservatively. I stayed way back, did a few 300sat a good speed, but they were at the end after most had spent their morning energy doing a mile for time. 800m w/200m recovery 100m w/200m recovery 600m w/200m recovery 100m w/200m recovery 200m w/200m recovery 1600m w/200m … Continue reading Rolling in the caboose
7mi. My plan with hill running today was to try the trail running Saucony shoes, but I never remembered to put them out so I wore the questionable Aasics Kayanos. I met Walter a few minutes late and Teresa O found and scared us on the warmup. I ran 5 bridge miles before leaving for … Continue reading Shoe test or not
16mi. The intent was a slow run. Done and Garmin verified, my average pace for the "5am start to PGA & back - store run to the Inlet and back"was 10:45. And still, for Palm 100, that will be too fast. I'm guessing I'll have to do walking interspersed with the slow pace running to … Continue reading Slow all the way
50 mi. Suzanne and I left the 7am start group only minutes before, thinking they'd catch us easily. They never did. We went to Bridge Rd, paused, continued up Gomez and over to Sandsprit park with no trailers. We saw the group near the Port Salerno traffic circle fixing a flat, it was the second … Continue reading Fifty necessary miles
4mi. The Palm Beach Road Runners have setup a back-to-back race weekend with the annual Shamrock 10 mile race Sat and the newer Spring Training Classic 10k on Sunday. They call participation in both the Irish version of Disney's Goofy Challenge. Because of this weekend of races, I don't think many people wanted to run … Continue reading Low attendance before”Irish Goofy”
7.5 mi I did bridge running today, Chiara was there, Paul, Carolyn and Scott, and maybe 4 others. It was cool from the East, about 74 degrees for the whole run. New Daylight Savings meant it was dark the whole time with no hint of the sunrise before I drove home. I felt more uncomfortable … Continue reading First day of EDT hills
5 mi I was able to stay and cool down this week - no taking John to school. With Paul in Rio on a cruise vacation, Erica led the day. 800m w/200m recovery 400m w/200m recovery 200m w/200m recovery 1000m w/200m recovery 800m w/200m recovery 400m w/200m recovery 200m w/200m recovery 1000m w/200m recovery
7 mi Ran bridge workout with Walter and a few others that showed. A bigger than usual wind was coming from the East that made it seem cooler than it was. I ran warmup with a shirt and the interval hills with no shirt. Hailey came with me for the ride to and from the … Continue reading Windy but good to train in
