19mi. I ran at 5am which means at least a 16 miler. Suzanne S. is now training for the NYC marathon, so her Saturdays will be spent running long before the Amelia Island 1/2 Ironman, then maybe one after that. IT was raining hard at times, with wind and the beginnings of the hurricane/tropical storm … Continue reading Long run with Suzanne

An offhanded description of what I did and what I thought of during the run…
8 mi. "You run through the pain with your head." This statement from Megan Hartman summarizes my 6 miles of hills. She is a local runner, friend of Teresa and Angie's that came in second overall at Saturday's Dreher Park Dash. She ran in high school and at Clemson, with a best ever 5k in … Continue reading New hill mentality
13.1 mi. This race and the prep leading up to it was filled with so much fun and enjoyment for me. Travel, friends, fun and FUN, (the band) made for a great weekend in Vancouver . Charlotte, Stanton and I drove up Friday afternoon from Seattle. From home - I knew Teresa and Robert, Lanae, … Continue reading Sea Wheeze 2012
I've done this race ight times in twelve years, not verified, but that's what I think I have in my bag of experiences going into this year's "World Championships of Jupiter." Many of those years were spent chasing Rick Opton down on the bike, trying to transition faster than him to outrun him in a … Continue reading Loggerhead Triathlon 2012
8mi. I came and ran the bridge warmup and run all solo. Adrienne and Lilia showed up, as did Kylan and a few others later than I. I t was very humid and still, maybe a relief breeze from the east but not much. I brought and drank water every 2 laps on the hill. … Continue reading Pre Sea Wheeze hill run
13.5 mi. Really, when do I train specifically for one race. Never! So here I was with a Saturday long run and no idea what to do. Chiara said she'd come at 6, as did Suzanne M. I arrived at 5:30 and ran with Gary Walk and Dave Stone for 3 mi around the duck … Continue reading Time trial
5 mi. No track repairs were made in the past week, so Paul setup a 1/4 mile course on the parking lot. A circle around the tree-lined separator islands, we looked to do a dozen 400m dashes, each at varying speeds as chosen and announced by Paul. We mixed up between 75-80% speed, long strides, … Continue reading Quarters and a blinking light
8mi. With Chiara and Walter both letting me know they wouldn't be at the bridge, I assumed I'd be solo huffing it up and down the hill. When I arrived, it was Paul and I, he had already completed a lap of warmup. I ran my first one with him. He's leaving for London in … Continue reading Just when you think you’re alone…
16mi. I woke up early at 2:50am to run what I thought would be 26 miles. Garmin charged, Nuun tablet for the hand bottle, the right clothes - I was ready. I started at 3:20am, the temp in the car said 86, unusually hot! I started the run with coconut milk in the hand bottle, … Continue reading Abbreviated
5mi. Only a few people showed up for the track episode, probably because the word got out that Benjamin School is resurfacing the track and fixing damaged spots. Paul figured out that from the entrance to the campus to the never-ever opened gate by the track was 1/2 mile. So his idea of 6 - … Continue reading New untracked workout.
