5 mi. I woke up at 2:45am after purposely left the curtains open in my hotel room before I slept. I know when I come to Australia that I always do a kooky middle of the night run. When you run that early, the streets are yours. I don't encounter any delivery vehicles, cars, or … Continue reading I’m losing sleep over this stuff

An offhanded description of what I did and what I thought of during the run…
4mi. It was 61 degrees when I pulled into the parking lot. I took a nice iPhone picture of the Reback Track & Field sign, it is now well lit because of the new lights that make the parking lot look like daytime! Paul and John were joking back and forth about barefoot running, citing … Continue reading Different but that’s ok
Maybe 5-6 miles spent rambling around Riverwalk outside of the main restaurant and tourist area was enough of a jaunt for today. We had the trade show yesterday, again today, but getting out in 37 degree weather like yesterday was a must! And this time Jessica could join in, we each did solo runs yesterday. … Continue reading San Antonio again!
8mi. I took advantage of the hour of time difference to sleep until after 7am. I was sharing a room with Donovan, a new LifeVantage distributor from most times South America, originally New York, he's lived plenty of places! I left the hotel anticipating a snap of cold with the 36 degree posted temps. It … Continue reading 8 miler in San Antonio
4mi. Not having been told or issued a request, Paul's workout was good for me this morning. Post Disney Marathon meant I wasn't going to aggressively blast through the intervals. I did well running the bridge on Tuesday, so that meant I didn't have to completely lay off any speed or scramble through the group, … Continue reading Some track-fed stride recovery
8 mi. Having run Disney just two days ago, this was another example of feeling good and coming for the Tuesday bridge run. My legs were not 100%, but I didn't have the soreness and limited stride I used to experience with marathon recovery runs. I ran two laps with John and Lanae, John then … Continue reading Post race hills – yup!
26+ mi. I can say that any thought of Dave Masterson doing the Disney Marathon ever again was a surprise. In 2007, I did the Goofy Challenge. I thought the course was mostly back roads and service alleys, with too few of the miles spent in the parks where the supposed "fun" should be. This … Continue reading The *Magic* of the long run.
4mi. Maybe January is lean on runners because of the shock associated with a long vacation followed by the rush of back to school and work? Not many tracksters today. I ran with Erica who is following the plan of a new coach. Aiming for a good 5k race at the end of the month, … Continue reading So sixes it is.
7.5 miles Today I had Jessica join in on the ritual of my weekly bridge run. We were second in the lot, only Paul's jeep was parked along the embankment of the bridge when we pulled in. We started the warmup mile and met Paul near the rest rooms, where we stopped, introduced each other … Continue reading Guest celeb!
16 mi I tried to time my arrival at 5:15 with with everything else that was going on, but no luck. My prescribed pace from Sharon's emailed workout was to break a 16 mi run into four 4 mile intervals, each at a decreasing pace. First one was a 7:50-8:00 mile average pace. I convinced … Continue reading On my own page
