5mi. Today was again, like last week, cooler than the weather should be for mid June. 82 and humid is what I should get at track, instead it was 74 degrees. I ran behind Seth, Steve Monks, a new runner named John and the same guy from last week whose name I don't know. Paul … Continue reading Hamstring warms to perform

7 mi. A nice morning to gallop some hill miles, and others agreed! Kacie Herrick was there, Suzanne, Adrienne, Kylan, Steve and Mary, Paul and a few new folks I didn't know. Jen Keyes and Teresa were waiting for me when i arrived, so no warmup run. We ran their 5 laps, water every 2nd … Continue reading Off beat bridge workout
5 mi. When you miss a few of these track interval sessions, things change. I wasn't sure if the onand off rain would ruin the workout - a glance at the radar showed that we should be clear for the next hour to run. I arrived early and spoke with Paul and Dave Garfield. I … Continue reading Catch me in the first lap
10mi. I was happy John woke up and wanted to keep the Saturday workouts as part of what he does. Dave had telegraphed earlier that he would be running at 6am, I was surprised to see him at the start instead of Marcinski Road. Walter was there, Erica, Lilia and Chris, plenty of folks training … Continue reading Lighter than I thought
5 mi. Erica asked if I would run her workout with her - three timed miles. I don't have a race to train for, so that's as good as a bridge run for me. I drove to Abacoa and arrived 5 minutes late. Together we did a mile warmup, three timed miles separated by 10 … Continue reading Even after a break
30 mi ride/5 mi run Knowing it gets light earlier, I was awake and left the house around 6:30am. I didn't need lights on the bike, the roads were clear of cars. I rode against an easterly wind up Northlake Blvd and then north on Military Trail, also kind of against the wind. I felt … Continue reading A brick done early
7mi. Today I arrived a bit early - no trains or traffic lights bottled me up on the way in. Teresa ran my first warmup lap with me, then Scott, Joe P. and Jen Keyes arrived so we went right to the hill. Teresa, Joe and I ran the first five miles together, Jen and Scott … Continue reading Newness brings enthusiasm
30 mi. It's Mother's Day and I'm busy. John has graduation tomorrow, relatives are in town and regular life and work duties carry on. I woke up this morning with no idea or plan to workout. I ran yesterday and that was good. Last night Jessica told me something that spurred a thought. She said, … Continue reading Feed it!
4mi. I told Erica, who is enjoying a brief low week of training, that this may be the last time I miss the after-workout cooldown. John graduates from high school next week and I'll have the extra time to stay and jog around the track. Paul joked about how many girls showed up at the … Continue reading Get back 2 it.
10 mi. The group start at the store was thinly attended. The annual Turtle Trot race at Carlin Park was rerouted to start and end at Ocean Cay Park because of the construction on the course. Erica ran with a few other guys at a 7:20 pace - I didn't care or need to keep … Continue reading Solo = Time to learn something
