16 mi. A 5am start in 50 degree weather means I'm wearing tights and gloves. I wore the correct things for the first 6 miles to PGA & back, then at 6am I erroneously shed the gloves. I should have kept those. Not to be one upped, Chiara shed her jacket, gloves, and wore no … Continue reading Good weather if you’re dressed right

5mi. I knew it was going to be cold out so I dressed appropriately. I wore TNF legs, a cotton short sleeve shirt, an Under Armour Cold Gear long sleeve, a windbreaker and a head beanie. Gloves throughout the whole workout, this was a good strategy! I took off the jacket after warmup and felt … Continue reading I got it right
16 mi./11 mi. I did an early 10 miles from TRS store to PGA & back, then a 10.5 mile store to inlet run. Suzanne and Adrienne were looking to complete 7 one mile repeats. I wasn't seriously considering that until Walter said he was interested in doing that. We started north of Marcinski Rd and … Continue reading Really, the last run of the year.
26mi. Starting at 9am is a luxury for me, I know only early times for most of my workouts. I met Chiara at her house to start. We rode the bumpy and under construction A1A route off Singer Island, up to US-1, north to A1A again and then to the inlet turnaround. It was a … Continue reading Last ride of the year
5.5 mi In limited light, I ran a slow 5+ miles in Bethpage, my last run of the year. It was in the 40s, cloudy and getting dark early. I ran from the house around Grumman to Hempstead Tpke, then over to Stewart Ave and up to Pine Ave before returning to the house. It … Continue reading Last run of the year
5mi. It's always fun to try and "guess" the workout. A few of us are bold enough to tell others what we think is coming, although we are seldom correct. It's not always symmetrical, it doesn't jive with previous weeks, we really don't know what Paul will offer up week to week. Today we had … Continue reading Like we we knew what was happening
10 mi. I arrived at 5am to Carlin Park, solo this morning after learning Walter was ill with fever and Chiara didn't wake up for my text messages at 4:15am. I first helped Diane Lavado unload cases of water from the rental truck, then headed south. Mostly in the dark except for the final 3 … Continue reading Pre Classics Run

8mi. I didn't plan on seeing too many people at the bridge today, but when I sent txt messages to Walter, Chelsea and Angie, they all said it was on their Tuesday plan. Chelsea and Angie had to run earlier than 5 (???) because of their holiday extended hours at the store and re-merchandising that … Continue reading Breezy and early start
5 mi. The Benjamin School's Lacrosse team shows up very early to practice, first time I've ever seen this - like 6:30am.
