40 mi bike/ 5 mi run - It was supposed to be a regular 30 mile ride, that one on Thursdays that I've missed for all of December! Walter wanted to ride Friday, so this idea of going out today for longer came about. Suzanne said she was riding alone so we made the plan … Continue reading Thursday Housewife Brick ride

An offhanded description of what I did and what I thought of during the run…
5mi - A quick run while on a biz trip. Yves and I did a 4-5miler three days before Miami Marathon. We ran 23 minutes away, mostly in the World Golf Village. Then on the way back, we incorporated 5 sprints of 60 seconds each to loosen up our legs and stretch the stride. Yves … Continue reading World Golf Village – St. Augustine
10mi. I'm happy to arrive early and make the announcements in Linda's absence. I promote the Tuesday night fundraiser thingy, and run with Dave the whoe way. First time in my Go Run Ride4 shoes, very good! I ran yesterday's 21 miler in the Ultras, somehow maybe when wet they bother the top of my … Continue reading Coming back to back
21mi. Wanting to not waste my whole weekend prepping and recovering from the long run, I figure it would be better to do it Friday instead of Saturday. I do have that luxury. Jessica works in Ft Lauderdale this Friday and Saturday, so I could really do it Saturday but decide Friday long run would … Continue reading Split duty
5mi. The first track session of 2015 means I haven't been here in 3 weeks. Nothing for Christmas Day or New Year's Day. We stick to a simple plan that Steve Monks predicts - he feels Paul will get us done quickly and out of the cold wind. 1 mi warmup jog 400m w/200m recovery … Continue reading Into the North Wind
20mi. It's a commitment to getting the miles in when I leave home on foot at 4:30am with the idea of getting 10 miles done before the store run. the whole thing is predicated on John remembering to wake up on time and show up at least to drive me home. If he does it … Continue reading Pressing an early one
8mi. John joins me today on his first college break. We do the whole work out for the second week in a row. He is happy to not be running in JAX 30 degree weather. I am happy to be running and talking with him!
8mi. First time in a long time I run the bridge the whole way. That's a mile of warmup, a mile of cooldown, and six miles of hills. It's cool out today, I run a few laps alone and a few with John Reback, before he peels off and does faster repeats with Matt K. … Continue reading An honest one
5mi. It's as if most of our local people aren't running the full of half Palm Beach Marathon. They are shying away due to the heat or they have another event in the weeks to fllow. Gary and Dave are doing the half, most others were not concerned about the race. I hoped to go slower than … Continue reading Before the race most leave behind
7 mi By the time I get to the park, right at 5am, Jen Keyes is already there, parked and ready to run. She tells me Scott Wilkinson will be there to run with us. He was in California and Arizona for a month working. We do a lap (1/2 mile) off warmup then hit … Continue reading Breezy hill run in no hurry.
