7 mi. A nice morning to gallop some hill miles, and others agreed! Kacie Herrick was there, Suzanne, Adrienne, Kylan, Steve and Mary, Paul and a few new folks I didn't know. Jen Keyes and Teresa were waiting for me when i arrived, so no warmup run. We ran their 5 laps, water every 2nd … Continue reading Off beat bridge workout

An offhanded description of what I did and what I thought of during the run…
5 mi. When you miss a few of these track interval sessions, things change. I wasn't sure if the onand off rain would ruin the workout - a glance at the radar showed that we should be clear for the next hour to run. I arrived early and spoke with Paul and Dave Garfield. I … Continue reading Catch me in the first lap
10mi. I was happy John woke up and wanted to keep the Saturday workouts as part of what he does. Dave had telegraphed earlier that he would be running at 6am, I was surprised to see him at the start instead of Marcinski Road. Walter was there, Erica, Lilia and Chris, plenty of folks training … Continue reading Lighter than I thought
5 mi. Erica asked if I would run her workout with her - three timed miles. I don't have a race to train for, so that's as good as a bridge run for me. I drove to Abacoa and arrived 5 minutes late. Together we did a mile warmup, three timed miles separated by 10 … Continue reading Even after a break
30 mi ride/5 mi run Knowing it gets light earlier, I was awake and left the house around 6:30am. I didn't need lights on the bike, the roads were clear of cars. I rode against an easterly wind up Northlake Blvd and then north on Military Trail, also kind of against the wind. I felt … Continue reading A brick done early
7mi. Today I arrived a bit early - no trains or traffic lights bottled me up on the way in. Teresa ran my first warmup lap with me, then Scott, Joe P. and Jen Keyes arrived so we went right to the hill. Teresa, Joe and I ran the first five miles together, Jen and Scott … Continue reading Newness brings enthusiasm
4mi. I told Erica, who is enjoying a brief low week of training, that this may be the last time I miss the after-workout cooldown. John graduates from high school next week and I'll have the extra time to stay and jog around the track. Paul joked about how many girls showed up at the … Continue reading Get back 2 it.
10 mi. The group start at the store was thinly attended. The annual Turtle Trot race at Carlin Park was rerouted to start and end at Ocean Cay Park because of the construction on the course. Erica ran with a few other guys at a 7:20 pace - I didn't care or need to keep … Continue reading Solo = Time to learn something
5mi. I was able to do the cool down today - John's school schedule is fading as he prepares to graduate. Paul said we would do mostly 800m intervals, and that's how it went. Some of us guessed the direction changes, but only once we were deep in the routine did we figure out the … Continue reading Some strides back to normal
5 mi. I drove to Erica's this morning to do a workout of three consecutive timed miles with her. My car goofed up driving there, with the transmission not slipping out of 3rd gear, I was left going 30mph at 3000rpms all the way down Military Trail. We ran to the Mallory Creek area as … Continue reading Taxing my breath
