7mi. I only did a 1/2 mile warmup and cooldown, no one seems to start or finish when I do so I clip off early. Arriving at the Blue Heron Bridge today, I see fewer cars for the new crop of people who sleep in the park. I don't know why, maybe a more forceful … Continue reading Less sleepers, more humidity

An offhanded description of what I did and what I thought of during the run…
5 mi. This year I'm not registered in the Loggerhead Triathlon. A few notable locals, Erica, John Reback, Karen Paxton, Robert Dabrowski, they aren't racing it this year, either. Only a few guys doing the race came to track this morning. As a result, I was running up front with Aldo for my intervals. 1 mi … Continue reading Track anyway
7mi. I arrived alone, and my first two over the bridge laps were solo. Lanae came and ran with me for the thrid lap, then I did the 6 sprints that I cheesed-out on doing last week. It was my first time trying to land "underfoot" on a hill since having my runner's eval. I … Continue reading First timer
5mi. We don't often do the whole set of intervals in such an organized, predictable fashion. Our weather has been very hot and humid even so early in the morning. Matt K. and Aldo were there, some of the intervals I led, some they pulled me through faster than I would have gone alone. Left … Continue reading Ladders down
5mi. We only get this once or twice a year... Two 1600m intervals in the same workout. Paul said this was the workout planned for the rainy Thursday a month ago that I saw on my iPhone radar app and chose to stay home for. Yup, it didn't go away! I ran the first mile … Continue reading Double Miles
5mi. Franci began the workout by telling us that Perry Feyk would enjoy her selection of intervals. Today was a few degrees cooler than last week. We had the dad and his 12 year old son back with us. He can run a 5:16 mile and would like to qualify for the Junior Olympics by … Continue reading Perry will like this one
7.5 mi This storm turned out to be a big nothing for our area of South Florida. Yes we had wind, not much rain at all. I was sure to check the radar before making the drive, it looked ok enough to commit to bridge running with sprints. When I arrived, no other runners were … Continue reading Tropical Storm Colin
5mi. How do I show up for an outdoor track workout and go through the whole thing feeling as if even while running, there is no breeze. Like I was indoors? The blast of full-summer humidity is back, and it gets light very early in the process of covering 3 miles of intervals. I was … Continue reading As still as the indoors
5.75mi. If I didn't opt to sleep through the Blue Heron Bridge workout, I would not have chosen to run a tempo session through PGA National at 5pm in 88 degree direct-sun heat. This is how I repay myself for laziness. I didn't warm up, I went to the beginning of the park and started … Continue reading Penance
5mi. When I show up at track workout and haven't been for three weeks, it feels like I have a big weight around my belt. Everyone is running fast and I'm breathing considerably hard to get this done and stay where I belong. Attila, fresh off his 19:01 5k in NYC and Aldo are who … Continue reading Miss Ya Thrice
