16mi. I started running in the dark with Scott Richards and Mimi Chen. We used a new route, Ellison Wilson Rd to PGA for the first 6 miles, choosing to come back on US-1 and use the water stop at FPL. That was ok, slow pace and dark for the whole route. Once at the … Continue reading As patient as can be.

2000 yards. New goggles that don't squeeze my eyeballs out! And a workout with some kicks, with which I cheat and use fins. Warmup Set (200y) 4 x 50 [25 build/25 easy] @ 0:10 rest Main Set (1400y) 7 x [50 easy @ 1:35, 50 moderate @ 1:25, 50 mod-hard @ 1:15, 50 hard @ … Continue reading School’s still out.
5mi. This was a labored workout from the beginning. Having just panted thru the warmup, I definitely felt my left calf was going to have a problem from the first 300m interval. It didn't pop, but it wasn't strong enough to support my going much faster than I did. I ran the warmup and really … Continue reading Not the right stuff.
8 mi. An eventful bridge run started alone at 4:55am. There was no breeze, I thought I should ride on days like this! I did my first four miles on the bridge alone, seeing only Adrienne and Angie on the sidewalk after 3 laps. To start lap 5, Gary, Eileen and Atilla were beginning their … Continue reading The sky is falling. Not.
13 mi. Today was the Palm Beach County Ocean Mile Swim - great, but I ran instead looking to strengthen my legs and lungs in the mid summer heat. I ran 3 with Charlotte before the group, then the usual 10 with the Running Sports Group at 6am. I missed the start due to a … Continue reading This feels normal again
20 mi My gold star Tuesday came about because I didn't want to wake up early again Wednesday morning. I came back from work and decided to do the Singer Island loop. I averaged 20.4, not bad considering traffic and completely stopping at some lights, which hardly ever happens on a 5am start. I brought … Continue reading TT to round it out
2000 yards Barely squeezing in time for the workout and the drive to and from the pool, here's what a full Tuesday looked like poolwise... Warmup Set (300y) 3 x 100 (25 easy/25 easy-moderate/50 moderate) @ 0:15 rest Main Set (1600y) 5 x [100 @ 2:10, 2 x 50 @ 1:15, 4 x 25 @ … Continue reading Then this…
5 mi. After a 1 mi warmup that really showed me how warm it was, I commented to Charlotte how last week's track session was full of 200s and 3oos, good for my first one back in awhile. That was all I needed to say - this workout was mostly long stuff that taxed my … Continue reading Don’t try to out guess Paul.
2000 yds I keep doing these Tri Faster workouts iPhone app workouts and emailing them to myself in hopes of putting them on the blog, but there's a disconnect in the mailing process that keeps them from getting back to me. Yes, the IT guy is having problems sending reliable emails to himself! Here's what … Continue reading Missing swims?
8mi. During the 1 mi warmup I was questioning my breathing. Each lap of 6 on the bridge was tough, I felt very lazy and slow. I noticed a difference between good leg and injured side, but no ill effects on the hill. It was humid and dark - the east side of the bridge … Continue reading The:Last:Bridge:Runner
