9.5 miles. I met Lanae to do one of Sharon's emailed workouts. It called for speed in 1 minute bursts... 3-4 miles of warm up which we did in the dark. We stopped at the bunker bathroom and the Carlin Park West bathroom then began 13 - 1 minute sprints followed by 2:00 rests. Our route went … Continue reading 13 is the number

An offhanded description of what I did and what I thought of during the run…
7 miles. 5:15am doesn't seem early to me, especially when I flew in from the East Coast and it will seem like 8:15am. I drove to a familiar spot - the Henderson pool where Michelle swims and trains. I arrived and met Debbie in the parking lot, followed shortly by Michelle. Debbie came to run, … Continue reading Vegas holiday visit
11mi. I had asked Lanae if she was interested in running the day after Christmas, being I had not done a morning run or ride on the 25th. She said she was doing a hill repeat workout with Sharon at 7:30am and I was welcome to join. Great. I didn't run the usual bridge workout … Continue reading Where things need to be
4mi. Today was my first running in the Vibram five toed shoes. I bought them at a good discount. When I wear these things, they feel tight on one foot sometimes, but not this morning. One of my middle toes on the right foot seems weird, but I go with the plan of running track … Continue reading Toes? Fingers? What’s the difference?
40 mi/3 mi Starting out on wet roads after you drive through a storm isn't what you're thinking prior to a ride. I sent a text to Lanae who confirmed that she was still riding. Anita found me via text to report that all of her group had bailed out so she would ride this … Continue reading For what reason? Cuz it works.
4 mi. After a mile of warmup, we started as a small group on intervals in the dark. All of the school's parking lot lights were off, with some cones blocking off parking spots, too. Maybe some maintenance or repairs in order? 1 mi warmup jog 300m w/100m recovery 500m w/100m recovery 300m w/100m recovery … Continue reading Don’t leave it on the track
7mi. I woke up at 3:55am to thunder and lightning outside. Maybe, just maybe, I'd be lucky enough for the rain to cancel me out. A meetup last night with Sharon had me home late and tired with a teeny bit of sleep, so rain would have been welcomed. Thanks to my radar app, I … Continue reading Beat the storm
40 mi/3mi Today's early start was a result of me STILL thinking the change in time from October was paying dividends. Clearly a quick check to the weather app would show me that sunrise is now at 6:58, so my planned 6:30 departure was going to be in the dark. I am glad Lanae doesn't … Continue reading Oh what fun it is to ride…
4 mi. Post PB Marathon, all talk was of the race, the photos, the World of Beer afterparty, and how everyone is welcoming a break in the action for the holidays. Paul was there early, walking the track before any of us arrived. John, Perry, Dave G., Mike, Erica, Lanae, Adrienne, Randy and Robert were … Continue reading Two grand?
7 mi. A cool breeze from the east and 74 degrees, just like Sunday's marathon. I did a warmup mile in the parking lot but didn't cool down afterwards - 6 miles of hills was enough. It was slim attendance today, fittingly Paul showed up after me and we ran our first two laps on … Continue reading The most important run of the month
