3mi run/50mi bike. Erica, cleared to run more than the 10 minutes last weekend gave her, wanted to meet at 6am, run 25 minutes and then ride to Sandsprit Park. I planned on riding from my house and then doing another longer ride Sunday, but why not, I'll try this workout. She wanted to swim … Continue reading Mix up more and I’ll do it.

An offhanded description of what I did and what I thought of during the run…
4 mi. Track with a faster group of guys than usual. Only one gal came to run, Randi. I ran the warmup with Seth Kaufman, discussing his entry to sprint triathlons and summer race dates we both had planned. We both agreed - the warmup jog mile doesn't really seem to warm you up for … Continue reading I dare you to think it…
7.5mi. It's changing seasons to summer and longer days. Which means when I finish running, I get the beginnings of a sunrise and once I'm home, I see good views across the lake in my neighborhood. I ran the whole time with Joe, who arrived when I did and stayed with me to talk even … Continue reading Light the way
59 mi ride/5 mi run These brick workouts on beautiful days are great. I know step #1 is the Motivation Man Triathlon in 3 weeks, so I have to be used to the "cycle, hop off, run fast in the heat" reality. I started with Suzanne and Sal just after 5:15am, we rode with headlights … Continue reading Early test for half the marbles
46mi ride/1 mi run. I know I need to be pedalling more than running in prep for this summer's two distance triathlons. So I left the house at 6am, lights on and heading north. I knew a ride to Hobe Sound would have me doing more than 40 miles, then I'd jog around the neighborhood … Continue reading Skip the run
4 mi. With a surprisingly cool morning, we still pull only 12 guys and Randy Garvey for the track workout. Something must have been happening in the daytime at Benjamin High School, because the sidelines had all the hurdles out and three white party tents were setup along the field. Paul ran the intervals, so … Continue reading Nested 1000s
7 mi. Talk about following habit - I ran the hills a day earlier this week and I throught the next day was Wednesday, I dated items wrong at work - messy! I asked John if he wanted to run the hill workout after work and before dinner - so we did. At 6pm, it's … Continue reading Off-beat bridge running
4 mi. Track workout was lightly attended today. Until Dave Reback brought a vanload of kids, there were less than 12 people running today. Paul felt a calf pull on his first "220" so he made his way around the track to start and announce each interval. When I arrived, we were the only two … Continue reading Odds have it
10.5 miles I went to the store run this morning, not because I needed the miles, but because I wanted to see people. I didn't want to recite what I saw and experineced in Boston, I wanted to keep some of my normal schedule. An email was sent out a day before, saying there would … Continue reading Back with a group
8mi. The bridge brings out the truth. I will need these hill miles in Boston, with my visor on, my head tilted so to keep my glance right in front of me, my legs used to the press up and down. Barry joined me for my warmups, the run and the cool down, it's very … Continue reading Reacquainted with my toes
