5 mi. Possibly my best track workout in months! I arrived early enough to run a lap with Paul and talk Olympic tri girls before anyone else arrived. With a renewed interest in running as good as I can, I paced with Erica on all of the longer than 400m intervals, then speed up with … Continue reading Descend

30 mi. This was a great day to ride... I met Suzanne early (cause no kids in school) and we avoided the Palm Beach A1A construction. So that means riding Dixie Hwy to Lake Ave and taking the Lake Worth Bridge to A1A. Once there, we headed south, I led at 21-22 mph with no … Continue reading To George Bush in Boynton
8mi. I was the first one at the run this morning, Paul and Chiara came shortly after me. Chiara ran my whole 6 miles of hills with me, and she was moving quick downhill. Lungs were the culprit uphill, but each climb led to her scampering down the other side very nicely. I joked as … Continue reading To Boston via Riviera Beach
9mi Fifty or sixty miles of cycling on a windless South Florida morning, that was my plan. I had dropped John off at CVS for his scout trip to NC. I made it to Loggerhead Park nice & early, too. I forgot the headband again - a noticeable loss in humid heat conditions. Austin, Troy … Continue reading Spin a negative into a good workout
22 mi. If they really keep track somewhere in "run karma land" the miles you cover ('cause I don't) then I'm that much further towards the goal. I went to the Loggerhead 4 mile road race last night as a volunteer and watched some very impressive performances. Local pro Mitch Guirard came with a barely … Continue reading Twenty two more in the bucket
5 mi. Didn't know I'd be leaving the track workout today with aYogi Berra-like quote word. When we got there, Paul was talking about the breeze (hardly noticeable) and how cool it was for a run (not true). We did medium grade intervals today, I ran cautiously slower than usual, thinking the extra everything I've … Continue reading It’s getting “summery.”
2000m Good thing today's swim was LA Fitness instead of an outdoor pool. Driving John to school, we went through a patch of hail and lightning. I made easy work of the swim, hopped in and pushed thru 40 laps. I kept reminding myself that swimming is a problem because I don't treat it like … Continue reading Hail swimming
6mi. I didn't think about it until I woke up too early - today's that day when you're supposed to run because everyone else who runs in America will join you in spirit or on the roads. Ok, foregoing all of that, I had some things I wanted to try and Wednesday morning looked like … Continue reading National Running Day
46mi. I rode to Sandsprit Park with Austin as a method to give my legs a good spin. We went up at a moderate 19-20mph pace, and talked all the way. He didn't surge ahead except for one stretch up Dixie highway. On the way back he suggested we ride Dixie to the end and … Continue reading Post race spin out ride
I really appreciated the Saturday vs Sunday race date and the WPB proximity to home. On Friday night I dropped my bike off and with Sal & Suzanne's help, wrapped it up nicely to ward off the rain. We also did Char and Rick Luise's bike. I parked at Datura lot for the $5 all … Continue reading Motivation Man Olympic tri
