16 mi. Most of the locals were racing the 37th Shamrock 10 miler or 5k. This left a diluted group to run the usual store route on a Saturday morning. I came ready for a perky, fast-paced distance run at 5am, running mile #1 in 7:40. Then I picked up the pace to below 7 … Continue reading Dilution makes for special moments

An offhanded description of what I did and what I thought of during the run…
4mi. It's been a string of cooler track workouts that make for some speedy times, even post marathon for me. A few weeks in a row it's been beneficial to have a sweatshirt or long sleever on when we get to the track and stand around. Paul comes all bundled up in long sleeves, knit … Continue reading Outdashed
7mi. It isn't often I can get a totally new person to show up at the bridge, do the whole workout, like it, and say he will be back! Barry Green, now enrolled in this year's Boston Marathon is that guy. He asked about it on Facebook messaging, so I let him in on my … Continue reading Helping out a first-timer
10 miles - I did Erica's prescribed workout today in 55 degree cool weather. We started at 5:15am with threee sets of 8:00/7:30/7:00 miles, repeated three times. The final mile was to be hard with whatever we had left to offer. Artfest By The Sea was setup along A1A which meant the potential for obstacles … Continue reading Ten by threes
4 mi. Lucky. When I can say our coldest morning for a track workout was 46 degrees with a breeze from the Northeast, that's lucky! I came dressed ready - no running tights but an Under Armor long sleeve top, a cotton shirt for wind protection, and some knits cheap-o deluxe gloves. A few others … Continue reading Our coldest day yet
4 mi. Erica had been assigned 12 400m dashes by Stan, her coach. I said I'd do them with her, why not. The rest of the group was on Paul's schedule. We alternated directions and tried to put ourseves safely among them during our 400m intervals. It worked, only once did we have an issue … Continue reading On Stan’s Plan
4 mi. A cooler than I expected morning meant I wore my heaviest grade cotton short sleeved t-shirt. I met Erica at her car, thankfully she confirmed, it was not a regular warm day. Sometimes the tree-surrounded Reback Track & Field is cooler than its surroundings! Paul called out a "nobody could've guessed it" set … Continue reading A token showing
6.5 mi. This is my signature as of late. Do a marathon, show up and run the bridge like it was nothing. It has been a full year since I started using Protandim. I have seen truly remarkable recovery since 3 weeks after beginning it's use. I know my body, I keep a good schedule, … Continue reading Benchmark
8 mi. Having flown in from Sydney all of yesterday, I didn't know what I'd have ready for a workout. I purposely didn't set my alarm, figuring if I need the sleep I'd take it, if I woke up in time I'd run, whatever happens, happens. I woke up at 2:30am completely done with sleeping. … Continue reading It feels so late?
6mi My hotel is located right near the Swan River. This puts me in a perfect place early in the morning to push out a great 6+ mile run and take some photos of Perth City. I went over the bridge first, putting me on the other side of the river with great views of … Continue reading Swan River, Perth, Australia
