51 miles. I was hoping for good weather that would allow us to go further than the 40 miles we had done twice a few weekends ago. Bingo - great sun, but a wind from the NNE. Jessica was rested and ready, her performance would show that in stars! We left after 1pm, hopes of … Continue reading The Push for Next Week’s Ride

40 mi bike/ 5 mi run - It was supposed to be a regular 30 mile ride, that one on Thursdays that I've missed for all of December! Walter wanted to ride Friday, so this idea of going out today for longer came about. Suzanne said she was riding alone so we made the plan … Continue reading Thursday Housewife Brick ride
5mi - A quick run while on a biz trip. Yves and I did a 4-5miler three days before Miami Marathon. We ran 23 minutes away, mostly in the World Golf Village. Then on the way back, we incorporated 5 sprints of 60 seconds each to loosen up our legs and stretch the stride. Yves … Continue reading World Golf Village – St. Augustine
67 miles. It's Friday and I have the time for a ride. After lunchtime I guess a good path would be to hit the beach road and do the 30 mile loop to the Inlet park and back. I leave at noon and head on the crowded roads north. Military Trail, Indiantown Road, all clogged … Continue reading Strong winds play spoiler
51 miles. We leave with the idea of going far - I hope we are both feeling ready when we hit Bridge Rd, that's the "point of no return" for going 30 or beyond it... courageously of course! We stop at the Lighthouse Park to see Kylie and Rachel at a lacrosse practice. It's nice … Continue reading First 50 for Jess.
7mi. Arriving about 5 minutes late due to unreasonable traffic lights all the way to the bridge, I was met with John stretching in the street. He's never there befoe me! A few of the girls were in the parking lot, stating they already ran the warmup mile and were ready to hit the hill. … Continue reading Be Quick or miss out
10mi. I'm happy to arrive early and make the announcements in Linda's absence. I promote the Tuesday night fundraiser thingy, and run with Dave the whoe way. First time in my Go Run Ride4 shoes, very good! I ran yesterday's 21 miler in the Ultras, somehow maybe when wet they bother the top of my … Continue reading Coming back to back
21mi. Wanting to not waste my whole weekend prepping and recovering from the long run, I figure it would be better to do it Friday instead of Saturday. I do have that luxury. Jessica works in Ft Lauderdale this Friday and Saturday, so I could really do it Saturday but decide Friday long run would … Continue reading Split duty
5mi. The first track session of 2015 means I haven't been here in 3 weeks. Nothing for Christmas Day or New Year's Day. We stick to a simple plan that Steve Monks predicts - he feels Paul will get us done quickly and out of the cold wind. 1 mi warmup jog 400m w/200m recovery … Continue reading Into the North Wind
8mi. Today I ran with plenty of folks. Jen Q, Jen K, Regina, John Reback and Steve are all there early. There's a breeze from the SE so we enjoy cool temps all laps on the hill. The running of the hill was routine, no bathroom breaks, meaning I've figured out that eating big on … Continue reading Rocket NOT
