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

An offhanded description of what I did and what I thought of during the run…
10mi. Today post Boston Marathon I came t the store for a "shake-out" run. I didn't need to go fast, but I knew running 10 miles would loosen up any remaining tight spots and soreness in my legs. John said he wanted to wake up early and run, so that was good incentive, too. At … Continue reading Just to see the sunrise
7.5mi. The idea of running the hills the week before the Boston Marathon is for some, too much. I do not overtrain, so my run this morning was at an easy pace, I was never out of breath. Joe Ponton came and surprised me on my warmup lap. I planned on spending the whole workout daydreaming and visualizing … Continue reading Eclipse
4mi. I can say there haven't been 4 times in ten plus years of running Paul's workouts where I was the leader of the group. Worded carefully, I'm not claiming I was the fastest one there, Mike and Steve can clearly outdo my best interval efforts. However it happened, Steve ran his own themed intervals in … Continue reading Lead.
8 mi. Boston is in two weeks. I have not trained with Erica hard on weekends nor have I pressed myself on my own runs. I will keep a healthy schedule between now and the marathon, in hopes good weather and nutrition plus a boost from the fans and all give me strength. Today I … Continue reading Blown into the reality of it all.
16 mi. I missed my chance to run in cooler weather by staying out late Friday night, not waking up Saturday at 4:30am to start running at 5 solo. So my Sunday began a few minutes later than planned with a loner workout. I started atLoggerhead park and headed south in the dark. To PGA … Continue reading Rolling towards Boyleston St
Today was my first track episode in maybe four weeks. I have not gotten faster in that time off. Jen Q has grown faster, she ran well today as did Gary Walk. The 66 degree weather on April 2nd, that was wonderful! 1mile of warmup jog... 1200m w/200m recovery 300m w/100m recovery 300m w/100m recovery … Continue reading Getting caught up
I haven't been here in a few weeks, I am first to the Blue Heron Bridge run at just before 5am. I ran some hills in Denver, but not enough times to say,"I trained while away." Two parking lot laps and I'm on the bridge. Eating at Moe's last night always puts pressure on my … Continue reading Cooler for a bit longer
4-5 miles - John and I landed at noon in Denver for a week in the mountains. He is finishing up his track season, with a few meets ahead that lead to local champoinships. I have the Boston Marathon in four weeks. We can't blank-out for a whole week of running. Mike, our host for … Continue reading Denver south and the hills!
