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
5mi. Temps in the 40s have me thinking I might want to dress warmer than the tank top. I chose a white t shirt that I had already worn, figuring it would be a little warmer and I'd be most visible. The Weather Channel app said misty rain, but the MyRadar app told the truth. … Continue reading London, Ontario Run #3
5mi. This time a looping route to downtown and back to my hotel. Ideally I wanted to get on a path along the Thames (London, go figure) River but I didn't know how long those paths went for. I'll probably find out on the weekend. I brought a 16oz bottle of water, tank top and … Continue reading London, Ontario Run #2
4.5 mi. A quick out and back that started and ended in the dark. My hotel is nestled on a side street across from a very big hospital. I ran on concrete sidewalks out of that neighborhood and into the downtown area of London. There were a few areas of construction, added to the chopped … Continue reading London, Ontario Run #1
5 mi. I came not feeling 100% but knowing I have to get in the run groove. Low attendance, but I'm good with keeping my own pace since Erica doesn't come anymore. Ok, maybe I slack off in the last 50m... 1 mi warmup jog 800m w/200m recovery 400m w/200m recovery 600m w/200m recovery 200m … Continue reading Short work of the sprints.
30 miles. What a difference this makes! I met Suzanne at Loggerhead Park at 8:15am. We rode to Bridge Rd and back, sometimes fast, sometimes at a pace we could talk through. At the Hobe Sound beach park, we met and spoke with a few people Suzanne knew. I flushed shower water on my hair … Continue reading Rosh Hoshanah ride
