5mi. Paul had a good showing today, plenty of the regulars ribbed me about not being at track lately, which spilled into others contributing that I hadn't been at the bridge on Tuesdays. This is what happens when you alter a 10-12 year habit and running schedule! Paul's intervals today had many thinking we'd be … Continue reading Where have you been?

12 miles - An early morning wake up had me driving down I-95 to meet Erica in Mallory Creek to sprint 6 half mile repeats. i had done this with her once before, so I knew the route. We had to complete them in 3:00, all of ours were completed in under 2:55 with the … Continue reading A double up
40 miles - Second day in a row for a ride to the Loblolly end of Gomez Road in Hobe Sound. It is cool again, windy again, and about 1:30-2:00pm. I think the ride yesterday makes my legs a little softer, I don't feel I have the "pep" I did on Saturday. Today I remember … Continue reading Forty wind two
40 miles - What a day to ride! The temps had dropped and we experienced a healthy North wind to start. We began riding at 1:15pm, but the temps weren't too humid or blast-furnace hot like would normally be the case. I noticed immedately the cloudless sky and cooler feeling air as we started on … Continue reading Forty wind one
30mi ride/6mi run I'm not in "go enter a tri" shape, as evidenced by the slow run I did today following a ride to Hobe Sound. Suzanne and I went, learning moments before leaving the park that Suzanne McCarthy was hit by a car on the Donald Ross Bridge. She has some injuries and sadly … Continue reading Brick sans sun
12 repeats of 400m with Erica in the Mallory Creek area. She has others that do these workouts with her, but their time to taper for the Miami 70.3 race is now. I arrived at her parking lot at 5:25, we did a warmup jog to the run area and met Alicia and Harold, they … Continue reading Quarters
40mi. A perfect clear day to ride! We started at 1:15pm, it was in the 80s but not terribly humid. Our mood was high having slept late, I borrowed one of Jessica's water bottles since I forgot to pack one. We rode well heading north, into a wind that slowed us some but we kept … Continue reading The North Forty
5mi. With a ride looming at 8:15am, I was quick to run and cooldown, drive home, shower, quick re-energize and get going to Loggerhead Park. Paul ran the workout in a mostly symmetrical fashion, best I can recall it went like this... 1 mile warmup jog 1000m w/200m recovery 600m w/200m recovery 200m w/200m recovery … Continue reading Getting cooler in Oct
5mi. Penance. When would I eat a dinner where all compnents were fried except for the water I drank? Taht was tonight with Charlie, Christine and Simon. Good get together, but I didn't want all of that stuck in one place for the night! I came back to the hotel at the same time as … Continue reading London Ontario Run #5
5 mi. The same route, on a cooler evening with temperatures in the mid forties. I made the decision to do the route quicker this time, it was light out for most of the jaunt. I stopped and got a restaurant take out menu from the furthest point away from home, this way when the … Continue reading London Ontario Run #4
