4mi. I arrived a bit late to start the regular warmup with the group - a surprising number of over 20 people. There were a few kids from high school there, and some other guys I didn't recognize. Paul's run through the intervals wasn'ta big surprise, but I don't think anyone guessed it all correctly … Continue reading More than a few are training now

An offhanded description of what I did and what I thought of during the run…
4 mi. This was my first run since the marathon on Sunday. I figured I'd be conservative this time and stay on a physically healthy track for the Boston Marathon. Our intervals included a mile for time, in which I ran with Gary Walk and Dave Garfield at a 6:33 mile. here's how it stacked … Continue reading Relaxed recovery at the track
4 mi. New girl Jennifer Q. showed up and backed up her desire to become faster over the marathon distance.

6 mi. After a mile warmup solo in the parking lot, I found Scott Hicks by a rental minivan waiting to start the bridge run with me. Notable non-running things about today's workout were the many police and border control vehicles congregating around the parking lot and on Blue Heron Blvd. something was brewing boat … Continue reading Bridge guest
7mi. I come to the bridge run a day removed from a long run or race to loosen up muscles that are used up from the weekend. Paul was there first, I did a mile of warmup in the parking lot - it didn't feel bad at a slow shuffling pace. My outer right foot … Continue reading The recovery begins

Our intervals -- 1 mi warmup jog 300m w/200m recovery 300m w/200m recovery 600m w/200m recovery 900m … Continue reading Track among other achievers
7mi. I came out in a pair of old Nike shorts and a cotton t-shirt. Temp was 61 leaving my house, 64 at the bridge. Paul and I started the warmup run together, he had two shirts on. Part of me thought maybe I should run with the mini dollar store gloves, but that got … Continue reading Sixty one
16mi. Knowing my long run for A1A Marathon is the Miami Marathon, I don't have too many weeks to pull out a better effort than just a long Saturday run. I have upped the difficulty level by doing the speed in the Saturday workouts. This needs to be a good effort. Megan said she'd run … Continue reading Time to work hard
4 mi. I heard the palm trees slapping against the house and wind blowing, almost like Tuesday morning I considered how I might skip the run and do it myself. Not today, there's Krankit Kore after work with John. Get out of bed and head to the track. This morning was warmed than the last … Continue reading Run with them
10.5 miles This morning I wanted to do Erica's workout since it had progressively more difficult speed intervals at the end. We met at the store at 6a, Everyone must have thought it was to be cold out - I saw long sleeves, run tights, 3/4 crop pants, plenty of hats and not many bare … Continue reading Speed with the distance
