5.75mi. If I didn't opt to sleep through the Blue Heron Bridge workout, I would not have chosen to run a tempo session through PGA National at 5pm in 88 degree direct-sun heat.

There are plenty of cars parked where we park to run, all neatly backed into spots and … Continue reading Don’t whimp out

The race begins at 5:30pm so it can be over and out of the way for the beginning of the regular … Continue reading SunFest TGi5k
