8 mi. I arrived at just before 5am, most of the moon was out and bright. It was a deceptive 61 degrees at my house when I left, and 67 degrees at the Phil Foster Parking lot. I really had to think about this run, I felt apprehensive like I had an early morning flight. … Continue reading The moon and the bridge

12.5 mi. And for my first long run of the year, allow me to start at 1:00pm and bring no running for the past few days to the table! I met Chiara, Stanton and Charlotte at Loggerhead Park, they were very prompt and ready to go. I wore a tank top, and at the last … Continue reading Exposure
4mi. After mentally forging into the sprinkle that began the moment I left my home in the car, I go to the track to find very humid conditions but no more rain. I arrived later than usual but was the third person there, following Walter, Paul and another guy. We started with the usual 1 … Continue reading This needs work
3mi. On a very still and cool morning, I went for my usual Wednesday 20 mile loop around Singer Island. Temps were in the low 60s but out of habit I wore a sleeveless jersey. I considered going back for a regular short sleever once I felt the breeze zinging me through the shoulder sleeve … Continue reading Close call at 5am
7 mi. The first run of the year, an easy 7 miles with a small group on Jan 2 from the Running Sports store. From the sounds of it, some were riding afterwards, some were coming back to the store for champagne. I ran with Carolyn and just yapped about things coming up this year. … Continue reading A Mild Beginning
1.5 hrs I met Ellie and Dave Anderson at JD State Park to plod thru the sand. They know the trails well, and since I took a slef imposed break form riding there due to the sandy conditions, I'd need them. We did familiar trails in an unfamiliar pattern, having me learn about the park … Continue reading Last ride for “oh-ten”
4 mi It's good to reconnect and socialize, this was my first run since PB Marathon. Paul was kind with no mile sprint today, and the 43degree weather was a test enough for both. Thankfully no wind! Here are the details... 1 mi warmup jog. 800m w/200m recovery 400m w/200m recovery 400m w/200m recovery 400m … Continue reading Back to track
26.2 mi. Our best weather yet for the seventh Palm Beach Marathon, this year we were introduced to a new course. The route took us north for the first 1.5 miles, south again past the start/finish line area, and south to Manalapan towards the Ritz Carlton Hotel. I brought Shelley Thompson and Heather Smith with … Continue reading Palm Beach Marathon Festival 2010

4 mi. No cooldown this week, time to dash home and get John ready for the school drive. I went way faster than I intended today, post race + 3 days. The workout favored short intervals and thankfully didn't have a timed mile, so I did well. I have to get through the breathing holds … Continue reading Put it down before I’m ready.
