4mi. No cooldown for me today, I had to leave as the intervals ended to get John at his school early for a science exam refresher. There were a good number of people running this morning, warmer weather and the impending Race For the Cure 5k will do that. Paul Reback was there today calling … Continue reading Good spin up for 5k

2000 yds. Today was my first swim of the year. I was concerned about the water being possibly cold after the two weeks of 30 temps, but the Lake Lytal pool was a comfortable 80 degrees. Nice! I did a slow and easy 2000 yards. I started out too fast, really churning for 150 yards. … Continue reading Return to the Pool
8mi. I did the usual warmup, hill repeats and cooldown, with a mental focus on what I have to get good at for Boston. The emphasis should be on downhill, even though the focus for most runners is uphill - meaning the Newton Hills section. You hear so much about them, they're later in the … Continue reading Tuesday Bridge about Boston
I have regressed back to pre Miamiman condition. I have only 3 or 4 swims since Nov 8th. Maybe 4 bike rides. My body feels and looks different, even in only that short time span. I didn't eat wildly over the holidays, but I wasn't as vigilant about eating healthier things as before the November … Continue reading Reality.
5.5mi Today was the final day of the IFA show, during which I did no running, pushups or situps. Walter arranged for us to run with his friend Jeff, who works for the registration company that handles the show. We woke at 5:30, got set, packed, checked out, and drove to his oceanfront hotel to … Continue reading South Beach short run

Paul called out a seemingly routine workout today - 1 mi warmup 800m 200m recovery 400m 200m recovery 200m 200m recovery 2 x 500m with 100m recovery in between 200m recovery 800m 200m recovery 400m 200m recovery 200m 200m recovery 1000m 1 mi … Continue reading Back 2 normal
8mi. Today was another bout with the windy and cold bridge. What started as a solo run ended up being a mixed bag. I did laps 1 & 2 alone, #3 with Jon my neighbor, #4 with Adrienne & Angie, then I took a rest room break (you'd think I'd square that away at home, … Continue reading Bridge and breeze
23 mi. Yesterday was cold, today was scoped for colder. Chiara said she'd come, but a late evening txt from a restaurant let me know she'd be enjoying her meal experience some more from bed Sunday morning. I heard Walter was also at one point coming, even though he told me he'd rather run later in … Continue reading Double Down.
13mi. A Saturday run from the store started at 5:30am with Adrienne, Chip, Suzanne and Angie . Scott's car was sighted in the parking lot but he must've started earlier or run with a different group. It was by my car's reading 52deg at the start. Finish temp at 7:35 was 41deg. We ran around … Continue reading Chilly! But worth it.
5mi. Today's track workout was a 36 degree adventure. I'd say about 14 people showed, two guys in shorts! I had the same gear on as for the bridge, and I didn't shed a single piece. I found that about half way thru, i felt a drop of sweat on my ear, dripping down from … Continue reading With sprinkles on top?
