11mi. I had asked Lanae if she was interested in running the day after Christmas, being I had not done a morning run or ride on the 25th. She said she was doing a hill repeat workout with Sharon at 7:30am and I was welcome to join. Great. I didn't run the usual bridge workout … Continue reading Where things need to be

4mi. Today was my first running in the Vibram five toed shoes. I bought them at a good discount. When I wear these things, they feel tight on one foot sometimes, but not this morning. One of my middle toes on the right foot seems weird, but I go with the plan of running track … Continue reading Toes? Fingers? What’s the difference?
40 mi/3 mi Starting out on wet roads after you drive through a storm isn't what you're thinking prior to a ride. I sent a text to Lanae who confirmed that she was still riding. Anita found me via text to report that all of her group had bailed out so she would ride this … Continue reading For what reason? Cuz it works.
6.2 mi - My first 10k not including those associated with an Olympic distance triathlon. I arrived kinda too early, but helped with some of the setup duties, shirts and awards. I did a warmup short run with Erin to the "Shakepearian rest rooms" across the park. Then another 2 mile legs spin with Erica … Continue reading Classics By the Sea 10k
2000 yards. I came about 10 minutes earlier today, swam the laps and felt good about it. I tried to apply the mentality that the first 1200-1500 warm me up, then I should be able to swim forever! Or 4000m, whichever has a finish line attached! I got all cleaned up afterwards and picked up … Continue reading Finish it out strong
4 mi. After a mile of warmup, we started as a small group on intervals in the dark. All of the school's parking lot lights were off, with some cones blocking off parking spots, too. Maybe some maintenance or repairs in order? 1 mi warmup jog 300m w/100m recovery 500m w/100m recovery 300m w/100m recovery … Continue reading Don’t leave it on the track
2000 yards. I challenged myself today to swim but aslo to use the time "in my own head" as I would have in the past while landscaping. Good idea, Sharon P.! I will be doing more swimming, I won't be landscaping, so here the fit I was after. I did my 40 touches to the … Continue reading More, more, more
7mi. I woke up at 3:55am to thunder and lightning outside. Maybe, just maybe, I'd be lucky enough for the rain to cancel me out. A meetup last night with Sharon had me home late and tired with a teeny bit of sleep, so rain would have been welcomed. Thanks to my radar app, I … Continue reading Beat the storm
40 mi/3mi Today's early start was a result of me STILL thinking the change in time from October was paying dividends. Clearly a quick check to the weather app would show me that sunrise is now at 6:58, so my planned 6:30 departure was going to be in the dark. I am glad Lanae doesn't … Continue reading Oh what fun it is to ride…
2000yds. I felt good going in to the second swim of the week (big stuff for me) but upon entering the water, a change. My benchmark sr. citizen lap swimmer was moving well today, I initially in a few laps caught and passed her, but once warmed up, we remained at the same pace for … Continue reading Maybe I’m not…
