26.2 Of all the things I could have been concerned with, a stomach issue late in the day wasn't on the list. I remember an old guy running next to me near the half/full split, asking if I was going to continue on to finish the full marathon. After answering "Yes" he harped all over sharing … Continue reading Miami Marathon 2018

An offhanded description of what I did and what I thought of during the run…
5 miles. Today was our second cold zinger of a morning for track. Everyone came dressed for it, everyone meaning myself and all of the girl runners. Guys all had shorts and varying upper body garments. Paul was in the smallest shorts he owns. Me, I came ready for 37 degrees and a 12-15 mph … Continue reading More of the Alton stripes
8mi. It's not often I'm first at Blue Heon Bridge, but however, the traffic lights aligned - I was alone at 4:46 am in the parking lot. I ran a warmup lap by myself. My car said 69 degrees, leaving my house the weather app said 64 degrees. This is common, it's warmer by the … Continue reading Breeze minus 10
5 miles On a day when I thought we'd be running on the Benjamin Track, we arrived and had the intervals on the Alton streets again. I used this to put myself over the lululemon Strava Challenge 80k mark. I felt "heavy" running the intervals this morning. I saw my watch at a 6:15 pace when … Continue reading 20 for Alton
5 mi. Last year we had such a mile season for cool weather. I didn't have to dress "warm" except for when I thought my wimpy fingers would need gloves. Surely this was "global warming" hitting the homefront. Today I started in 36 degree temps with an 11 mph wind coming from the NE. At … Continue reading Our winter runs
5 Miles - Doing a track or speed work out the morning after a Christmas party outing definitely tests your discipline. Very easily I could've stayed in bed this morning! The Benjamin School's front gate was locked when we arrived - second week in a row. Paul was prepared with lights and a workout for … Continue reading Enjoying the straights
16.5 mi - I started at 5 am with Janet, we ran to PGA and back in between 8:20-8:30 pace. Once back, I met with Erica for what she explained would be a 7:45 pace. We ran behind Rick, Steve Jackson, Seth, Adam, and Mark Aitken. Erica sais she didn't want to keep their pace, … Continue reading On a good track
The 13th running of our hometown race was memorable. The new ownership does things right, the financial hindrances of the past are gone. This race and its accompanying weekend of events are a stock on the rise. The Bill Bone 5k on Friday night was a fun race. The event was larger than last year, … Continue reading 2017 Palm Beaches Marathon
We had great weather conditions for this event, we had 60 degrees at the start and 63 degrees at the finish line two hours later. The team dinner was good reconnecting with the group that comes to this race each year. Only Miami Marathon has more pacer people! My morning started early as I woke … Continue reading 2017 Space Coast Half Marathon
5mi. Today in when the "once a year runners" show up at track and tune in for the Run 4 The Pies. It was threatening rain, but I checked radar and spoke via text with Janet before committing and leaving to run. I ran from the car to the track, sloshing in more water on … Continue reading Misty Morning for track
