5mi. Temps in the 40s have me thinking I might want to dress warmer than the tank top. I chose a white t shirt that I had already worn, figuring it would be a little warmer and I'd be most visible. The Weather Channel app said misty rain, but the MyRadar app told the truth. … Continue reading London, Ontario Run #3

An offhanded description of what I did and what I thought of during the run…
5mi. This time a looping route to downtown and back to my hotel. Ideally I wanted to get on a path along the Thames (London, go figure) River but I didn't know how long those paths went for. I'll probably find out on the weekend. I brought a 16oz bottle of water, tank top and … Continue reading London, Ontario Run #2
4.5 mi. A quick out and back that started and ended in the dark. My hotel is nestled on a side street across from a very big hospital. I ran on concrete sidewalks out of that neighborhood and into the downtown area of London. There were a few areas of construction, added to the chopped … Continue reading London, Ontario Run #1
5 mi. I came not feeling 100% but knowing I have to get in the run groove. Low attendance, but I'm good with keeping my own pace since Erica doesn't come anymore. Ok, maybe I slack off in the last 50m... 1 mi warmup jog 800m w/200m recovery 400m w/200m recovery 600m w/200m recovery 200m … Continue reading Short work of the sprints.
5 mi. It doesn’t sound that bad. Skip a week worth of track workouts and I should be able to come back with some competency. I think everyone else showed up for weeks in a row. So I’m left with feeling creaky, running slower, and losing my breath. Paul surprised us all with the final … Continue reading Miss a month
12.5 mi. It isn't a difficult set of things to remember - when running in different countries, observe the following: Measure the distance. Bring water. Don't commit to calling Jessica in an hour and show up 2 hours later at the hotel. Question the advice of hotel concierge staff that cannot recommend a local running … Continue reading Circle Heathrow
7.5 mi Good bridge running and chatting with Jen Q and Jen K. Teresa is pregnant, so she doesn't come to the early run this morning. I hoped Suzanne would show up, but no go. Some of the laps are breezy going west, and stale coming back. The daylight savings thing has my entire run … Continue reading Doing the work
8.5 miles. A good start with Jen and Jen, one recovering from her first Loggerhead Tri, the other in final prep mode for the Pike's Peak half marathon. Regina Goolsby came for her first time, she had just done the Siesta Key tri last Saturday. John didn't run today, he stayed up and out later … Continue reading 8 hills
18mi. John's longest run ever fit perfectly on his 18th birthday. As a follow up on last year's 17 miler (also his idea) today we ran early to get to Loggerhead triathlon in time to see our friends race.Walter and Dave were supposed to start with us at 4:10am in Carlin Park, only Walter was … Continue reading John’s 18 miler
5 mi. A good effort today - too much quinoa last night made for a very full belly, plenty of bathroom time at home and at the track prior to the running. No more of that stuff with only water and a few steamed veggies! Steve led the group today in a very unpredictable set. … Continue reading When it’s still out…
