4 mi. Post PB Marathon, all talk was of the race, the photos, the World of Beer afterparty, and how everyone is welcoming a break in the action for the holidays. Paul was there early, walking the track before any of us arrived. John, Perry, Dave G., Mike, Erica, Lanae, Adrienne, Randy and Robert were … Continue reading Two grand?

2000 yards. I can say will all certainty that this was one of my better solo swim workouts! I was in a great frame of mind, I hopped right in and started moving down the lane at a nice pace. I saw my benchmark older lady endurance swimmer in the next lane, she was not … Continue reading Not slow anymore
7 mi. A cool breeze from the east and 74 degrees, just like Sunday's marathon. I did a warmup mile in the parking lot but didn't cool down afterwards - 6 miles of hills was enough. It was slim attendance today, fittingly Paul showed up after me and we ran our first two laps on … Continue reading The most important run of the month
I was a pacer for the 3:45 group. As a follow up of that effort, I sent a report to the pace group organizer. This is that report... with some more details added to make it relevant even if you're not a pace runner! The Saturday night pre-race dinner was a nice event, getting to … Continue reading Palm Beach Marathon 2012
8mi. I arrived alone, a completely empty parking lot, no homeless folks, fishermen or Paul. It was 62 degrees and a breeze from the NW - nice enough to run with long shorts and a cotton t-shirt. I ran my warmup solo and hill lap #1 alone, too. Lanae was waiting for em to start … Continue reading Think ahead
I registered for this today. I know Lanae is going, I've tipped my sister and brother-in-law who have relatives in Paris, and will be bringing the idea to others who may want to join. It means I have to eat better, swim proficiently, reach a new fitness level on wheels, and keep strong running going. … Continue reading Commit
4.5 mi. I don't have to cancel out of runs often, but today was a winner. I started with Lanae at 5:00 from the store, looking to do 16 miles. Once we turned on A1A heading south we met and passed Carol Hahn and Laura, her friend from Wellington. Lanae stopped for a bathroom break … Continue reading Rain delay
2000 yards. I can't do this anymore. I cannot keep showing up and knowingly swim slow. It's not yielding any results, and I'm dreading the solo swim efforts more and more. If I sign up for a long race, I'll have to swim better than this. Being able to give away time in the water … Continue reading Take it serious, please
4mi. The group was collecting on the track when I arrived so I knew we would be running on the track. The lines were painted nicely, a few bumps and bubbles remain but it was a good surface for my feet! Most regulars were in attendance - Erica and I with no NYC marathon behind … Continue reading Back in the cool striped lanes
8mi I ran the warmup 1st lap alone, second was with Paul. For the first four bridges, I stayed with Megan and Missy, yapping about all of the local 5k races that are seemingly every weekend in our area. Megan won the last 5k in Carlin Park on Saturday, with a 19:35 time. I'd consider … Continue reading Someone else’s recovery day
