6.5mi - A cool morning with a sunrise that makes people feel they are late for work. And a timed mile interval, which I hadn't done in months. I thought I was slowing, I haven't run with any person or grop consistently at the track so that lack of "competition" leads me to think I … Continue reading Who knew?

An offhanded description of what I did and what I thought of during the run…
5mi. There is one thing that always bothers a runner, myself certainly included. It's starting out in the rain. Leaving the car, house, whatever all dry and immediately putting yourself on wet roads with rain coming down. I don't mind getting caught in the rain, that cools you off and could happen in any race. … Continue reading Start wet
13mi / 5mi. First up - the Saturday run with the group. Dave met me, Walter was in Taiwan and Manila. I got to the store early and quickly realizeed I had no food/gel/snack. I will try to formulate a healthier alternative than the heavily processed gels I have always used. They cannot be good for … Continue reading Two for the 9th
12 miles - An early morning wake up had me driving down I-95 to meet Erica in Mallory Creek to sprint 6 half mile repeats. i had done this with her once before, so I knew the route. We had to complete them in 3:00, all of ours were completed in under 2:55 with the … Continue reading A double up
30mi ride/6mi run I'm not in "go enter a tri" shape, as evidenced by the slow run I did today following a ride to Hobe Sound. Suzanne and I went, learning moments before leaving the park that Suzanne McCarthy was hit by a car on the Donald Ross Bridge. She has some injuries and sadly … Continue reading Brick sans sun
12 repeats of 400m with Erica in the Mallory Creek area. She has others that do these workouts with her, but their time to taper for the Miami 70.3 race is now. I arrived at her parking lot at 5:25, we did a warmup jog to the run area and met Alicia and Harold, they … Continue reading Quarters
40mi. A perfect clear day to ride! We started at 1:15pm, it was in the 80s but not terribly humid. Our mood was high having slept late, I borrowed one of Jessica's water bottles since I forgot to pack one. We rode well heading north, into a wind that slowed us some but we kept … Continue reading The North Forty
5mi. With a ride looming at 8:15am, I was quick to run and cooldown, drive home, shower, quick re-energize and get going to Loggerhead Park. Paul ran the workout in a mostly symmetrical fashion, best I can recall it went like this... 1 mile warmup jog 1000m w/200m recovery 600m w/200m recovery 200m w/200m recovery … Continue reading Getting cooler in Oct
5mi. Penance. When would I eat a dinner where all compnents were fried except for the water I drank? Taht was tonight with Charlie, Christine and Simon. Good get together, but I didn't want all of that stuck in one place for the night! I came back to the hotel at the same time as … Continue reading London Ontario Run #5
5 mi. The same route, on a cooler evening with temperatures in the mid forties. I made the decision to do the route quicker this time, it was light out for most of the jaunt. I stopped and got a restaurant take out menu from the furthest point away from home, this way when the … Continue reading London Ontario Run #4
