5 mi. It doesn’t sound that bad. Skip a week worth of track workouts and I should be able to come back with some competency. I think everyone else showed up for weeks in a row. So I’m left with feeling creaky, running slower, and losing my breath. Paul surprised us all with the final … Continue reading Miss a month

50mi. A start at home and up to Bridge Rd and back makes for 50 miles. That's me with two water bottles, a Clif Bar and a willingness to solo ride on familiar roads. It's me doing the "Inlet ride" I usually rip on Monday nights. It's somewhat windy on the way up Military Trail, … Continue reading Friday morning fifty
12.5 mi. It isn't a difficult set of things to remember - when running in different countries, observe the following: Measure the distance. Bring water. Don't commit to calling Jessica in an hour and show up 2 hours later at the hotel. Question the advice of hotel concierge staff that cannot recommend a local running … Continue reading Circle Heathrow
7.5 mi Good bridge running and chatting with Jen Q and Jen K. Teresa is pregnant, so she doesn't come to the early run this morning. I hoped Suzanne would show up, but no go. Some of the laps are breezy going west, and stale coming back. The daylight savings thing has my entire run … Continue reading Doing the work
8.5 miles. A good start with Jen and Jen, one recovering from her first Loggerhead Tri, the other in final prep mode for the Pike's Peak half marathon. Regina Goolsby came for her first time, she had just done the Siesta Key tri last Saturday. John didn't run today, he stayed up and out later … Continue reading 8 hills
18mi. John's longest run ever fit perfectly on his 18th birthday. As a follow up on last year's 17 miler (also his idea) today we ran early to get to Loggerhead triathlon in time to see our friends race.Walter and Dave were supposed to start with us at 4:10am in Carlin Park, only Walter was … Continue reading John’s 18 miler
5 mi. A good effort today - too much quinoa last night made for a very full belly, plenty of bathroom time at home and at the track prior to the running. No more of that stuff with only water and a few steamed veggies! Steve led the group today in a very unpredictable set. … Continue reading When it’s still out…
7.5mi. John and I did a warmup 1/2 mile with Teresa upon arrival. Then we did 4 laps of bridge miles before I skipped out to the men's room. John waited for me and did the 5th mile side-by-side. Then he waited as I did lap 6. Lap 7 we both ran with Suzanne and … Continue reading West wind hills
10 miles. Today was a workout from Erica's coach. It called for us doing 10 miles switching each mile's pace from 7:30 min to 7:00 min. I brought a gel to eat at the inlet, I think they help on the faster runs. John stayed with us for the first half, then came home himself. … Continue reading Alternate between fast and faster
