8mi. I went back to the bridge workout today - either not many people plan on hill training for the Boston Marathon this year or they've found another hill somewhere in Florida, but there aren't a lot of people doing this run lately. I started alone, it was 63 degrees, I swear it's colder in … Continue reading Climbing up again.

Father, mountain biker, runner, triathlete, endurance athlete, IT professional, meeting and event professional, futurist, ideation, all that.
In November, I heard the concerns and comments. "Dave, you need some meat on those bones..." "You're losing too much weight!" Now, after I've parted with my "skinny down 8 lbs" look and with it - much of my sharpness in cycling and swimming, it's time to go back into regular training. I had run … Continue reading Time to get back to work
5 mi. Today's visit to the track was so I could do my first run after the marathon. I didn't intend to go fast, just do all of the intervals and stretch out my legs. It worked, because I didn't feel achy or fatigued after the workout or for the rest of the day. Here's … Continue reading Just running in circles
Race report for Dave Masterson - A1A Marathon, Ft Lauderdale, Fl. February 21st, 2010.
6mi. I went back to the Esplanade Surfer's Paradise, this time with Walter. I wanted someone to be able to see what I've seen and report back to those at home about what a great place this is. After all, the witness protection program may strongly encourage relocation to Mercurio, MT. But I'm gonna pay … Continue reading Esplanade revisited…
8.75mi. I had no idea the sun lights the morning sky at 4:45am. I had the blackout shades drawn in my room, when I woke up early, I figured the best thing I could do would be to iron everything I brought, so I wouldn't need to do that any more on this trip. Having … Continue reading The Esplanade
2000 metres. I try to come to the Cook Aquatic Centre each time I visit Sydney, it is directly in the middle of the city and popular among the locals. I got there right when they opened at 6am, easy to do when the time difference nonsense had me up at 2:10am. I was able … Continue reading Sydney swimming!
16.5 mi. A breeze and 66 degrees made today's long slow run enjoyable. Chiara, Adrienne, Charlotte and Lisa Reese came early to do the first 6 miles down to PGA and back. then we joined the Sat Running Sports group for their 10.5mi. Suzanne joined up with us right at 5 miles, she was looking … Continue reading Saturday before a long flight
5mi. What a perfect morning to run fast. 24 people came for Paul's workout, a 65 degree morning with a nice faint breeze from the Northeast. I ran with Erica for all but one interval, she ran well at Race For the Cure, so good choice of pacing for me. In the midst of the … Continue reading “…that’s what track’s for.”
2000 yds. I swam again today, I started earlier and had less time, I had to get back to a 1:30 meeting and I got caught up in the office. I did straight freestyle today again, even though I did no flip turns, I finished in about 43 minutes. Back to yesterday's theme - I … Continue reading One Day’s Difference.
