4 mi. I couldn't stay for the cooldown, John's back in class. I knew I wanted to run "in the middle" and Paul gave us a mile for time in a surprise move to most. My mile was 6:01, ran on Erica's shoulder all the way around. I felt very good laps 3 & 4 … Continue reading Middle speed

8 mi. I was alone for the warmup and cooldown, still air both ways on the bridge this morning. I brought my demo Lululemon glasses from the fashion show to the run, on a dare from Chelsea of course. I did run a few laps with them, Justin and Tiffany Moe also came to run … Continue reading Switch on and off
6 mi. My plan was big, my implementation and courage was weak. The idea was NOT to attend track workout in favor of doing stairs galore at PBG High School. I woke up a few minutes later than usual, did exercises, then drove to the school. I couldn't find a parking place, the lights were on … Continue reading Don’t bother
This was a gamble, training exercise slated for Palm Beach - based at the intersection of the Atlantic Ocean and Worth Avenue. The local Palm Beach police aren't usually keen to having anything "out of the ordinary" occur on their watch. Shirtless people scampering down the Worth Ave straightaway is not on their things to … Continue reading Stealthman 3
44mi. After yesterday's long run, today was a ride with Suzanne to Boca Raton and the Doghouse Cyclery. Jennifer Vogel, husband Lane and Scott D'Angelo, owner were hosting a run and Q&A session. They billed it as a 5 or 10k run social with the Badwater finishers, Lane and Jenn. It was interesting to speak … Continue reading To the Doghouse!
30mi This was an exercise in how well I could do while only taking in water along the way. I did not eat any bars or gels. I brought a race belt Suzanne lent me for the first 16 miles, then I relied on the water I would find on the beach and at the … Continue reading Some more ultra exposure
4 mi. One warmup mile and no cool downs when I have John to drive to school. Paul was kind in assigning no 1600m intervals, but close. I ran with Erica on the beginning and ending 600s, and third or fourth behind John R., JT and Seth for the other intervals. Just like this... 1 … Continue reading Stringing the good ones together
8 mi. A warmup mile with Walter, then 6 bridge miles and good chatting with Teresa and Walter. Chelsea overslept so no show for her. I ran my final lap with Adrianna, who also did the cooldown mile with me. I saw Carolyn's new car too! The hills felt good, especially going down. Conditions were … Continue reading Good hills
21 mi. This was a much more humid day with less wind than last Saturday. I ran with Gary and Janine Peart to PGA and back after ticking off one DR bridge lap to Prosperity Farms Rd. Then I joined with Dave Capperelli for the 10.5 store to Inlet run. One more trip over the … Continue reading Another 21
2000 yards. I felt neat leaving the crummy weather outside to get a swim workout in. I was trying new clear TYR goggles and I remember noticing the shortness of breath I had in the early warmup laps. I did the 300s and had some thoughts about form, but I felt my breathing needed the … Continue reading First in awhile
