5 mi. I drove to Erica's this morning to do a workout of three consecutive timed miles with her. My car goofed up driving there, with the transmission not slipping out of 3rd gear, I was left going 30mph at 3000rpms all the way down Military Trail. We ran to the Mallory Creek area as … Continue reading Taxing my breath
Month: April 2014
2000m - Having not been in the pool for awhile, which seems like I'm typing this all too often, I was happy to just tick off the 40 touches/80 laps. Most of the workout was solo, only at the end after 30 laps did a fast girl get in the lane next to me. To … Continue reading Think about everything and pass the time
10mi. Today post Boston Marathon I came t the store for a "shake-out" run. I didn't need to go fast, but I knew running 10 miles would loosen up any remaining tight spots and soreness in my legs. John said he wanted to wake up early and run, so that was good incentive, too. At … Continue reading Just to see the sunrise
A Special Return... I am fortunate this year to be linked up with Cammie and Jeff, they have a great plan and routine. No Boston Commons bus line for me - I'm being driven to and dropped off at the start line in Hopkinton! This is a huge plus, no crazy jam-up in the athlete's … Continue reading Boston Marathon 2014
7.5mi. The idea of running the hills the week before the Boston Marathon is for some, too much. I do not overtrain, so my run this morning was at an easy pace, I was never out of breath. Joe Ponton came and surprised me on my warmup lap. I planned on spending the whole workout daydreaming and visualizing … Continue reading Eclipse
4mi. I can say there haven't been 4 times in ten plus years of running Paul's workouts where I was the leader of the group. Worded carefully, I'm not claiming I was the fastest one there, Mike and Steve can clearly outdo my best interval efforts. However it happened, Steve ran his own themed intervals in … Continue reading Lead.
8 mi. Boston is in two weeks. I have not trained with Erica hard on weekends nor have I pressed myself on my own runs. I will keep a healthy schedule between now and the marathon, in hopes good weather and nutrition plus a boost from the fans and all give me strength. Today I … Continue reading Blown into the reality of it all.
16 mi. I missed my chance to run in cooler weather by staying out late Friday night, not waking up Saturday at 4:30am to start running at 5 solo. So my Sunday began a few minutes later than planned with a loner workout. I started atLoggerhead park and headed south in the dark. To PGA … Continue reading Rolling towards Boyleston St
Today was my first track episode in maybe four weeks. I have not gotten faster in that time off. Jen Q has grown faster, she ran well today as did Gary Walk. The 66 degree weather on April 2nd, that was wonderful! 1mile of warmup jog... 1200m w/200m recovery 300m w/100m recovery 300m w/100m recovery … Continue reading Getting caught up
I haven't been here in a few weeks, I am first to the Blue Heron Bridge run at just before 5am. I ran some hills in Denver, but not enough times to say,"I trained while away." Two parking lot laps and I'm on the bridge. Eating at Moe's last night always puts pressure on my … Continue reading Cooler for a bit longer
