5mi run/21 mi ride They say the more adverse the conditions get, the better the workout. I believe! Hurricane Sandy is heading up the coast from Miami, it won't directly hit us but it will bring wind and rain through Saturday afternoon. Today's track workout was a smattering of shorter distances topping out at 800m … Continue reading Rolling heavy in the big winds

An offhanded description of what I did and what I thought of during the run…
60mi ride/6mi run Starting at 6am were Lisa Reiss, Lanae, Scott Simpson and I. We were caught by Teresa and Joe by the RR tracks near Port Salerno. I had my Nite Rider helmet light and a few flashers since our first 45-60 minutes were in the dark. Scott pulls well, I followed more than … Continue reading Bricks are tough recovery!
10mi. I really did 12mi, a quick up and down the bridge with Suzanne since we arrived at 5:30am. I ran the store loop with Walter, getting his take on Steve's Vegas wedding and his travels since. It again is dark so long into the run! No speed at all today, I was glad to … Continue reading Ten miles is now recovery
4 mi. No Paul today, most thought he'd be there, including Erica and John. Surprisingly we had very low attendance today. Erica pieced together what she believed would be a good distance-based workout. I stayed in the back for all intervals except for the 600m. I took care not to exert too much of anything … Continue reading Recover and stretch
3mi Today John and I did a loop of the Dyer Park trails - specifically the hill course. I wore my Saucony trail shoes, mid thickness socks, and shorts with no shirt. John had issues with his one hip hurting, but he finished the run up and around the hill. Everything I brought worked well … Continue reading Equipment shakedown
18mi. I ran early, 5:30am around the duck pond to start this Saturday's long effort. I'm racing next weekend so I don't need too many miles, but anything below fatigue will be great. I return to the store and pickup Adrienne who has already run 6 miles to PGA Blvd and back. We ran slowly, … Continue reading 18 of 20 miles for NYC
4 mi. A quick exit for the drive to school, but today's track sesh was attended by 15-20 people and some of Dave Reback's kids. They run in the middle, on the grass, or against the grain in the outermost lanes. How neat to be exposed to all this fitness starting at a young age! … Continue reading Blinking thru 400s
8 mi run, 27 mi ride In over ten years of Blue Heron Bridge running, I have never been able to tape another workout on the end of the hill run. Even in the summer, it's time to zip home, take care of John, drive to school, whatever. Well today I went with Lanae's suggestion … Continue reading Dualie on a Tuesday
6mi. I didn't run at track on Thursday, I couldn't put together enough energy after a long call with Australia to wake up and zip there plus try to ride with Lanae afterwards. A rare "no-show" for me. I ran my Steeplechase neighborhood run with Lanae this time, I guess showing it to someone that … Continue reading Back in ‘da hood
6mi. I leave for Colorado tomorrow. I arranged to run with Walter from Loggerhead park north to Carlin Park and back. It was cooler than previous days and more of a relief from what heat we had experienced earlier in the month. We showered at the beach lot before going to a happy hour at … Continue reading Extra credit after work
