16mi. I started with Steve and Chiara and Julie Garberg, down to PGA and back at 5am. Chiara's knee has been strained so she stopped a few times to stretch it out. I also took a restroom break at French Connection on the way back. I noticed later in the day that Chiara posted on … Continue reading Long talking run w/Walter

An offhanded description of what I did and what I thought of during the run…
5mi Track today with Erica calling out the sprints. More of a bonus was I brought my bike for the forst of this summer's 20 mi post rides. Track was good, I ran w/Erica on the intervals, always trailing especially on the 1000m and the 800m, I was 50m behind by the end of those. … Continue reading Track and a summer ride
8 mi. There were no lights on today, even though prior weeks had a well-lit path on the south side of the bridge. I ran with Chiara in the company of Adrienne, Paul and Lennae. The breeze from the east felt very good, it was a challenge seeing where to go with all the cones. … Continue reading Bridge at dark
31 mi. I started at 3:20am from the Running Sports store. It was breezy and humid, wet streets from recent passing storms. I had the amiphod bottle on my waist (with Carbo-Pro) and a hand held strap bottle with water. I was thankful to God that even without saying a prayer, the breeze was washing … Continue reading Titanic run (with no tragedy at the end)
5 mi. Possibly my best track workout in months! I arrived early enough to run a lap with Paul and talk Olympic tri girls before anyone else arrived. With a renewed interest in running as good as I can, I paced with Erica on all of the longer than 400m intervals, then speed up with … Continue reading Descend
8mi. I was the first one at the run this morning, Paul and Chiara came shortly after me. Chiara ran my whole 6 miles of hills with me, and she was moving quick downhill. Lungs were the culprit uphill, but each climb led to her scampering down the other side very nicely. I joked as … Continue reading To Boston via Riviera Beach
9mi Fifty or sixty miles of cycling on a windless South Florida morning, that was my plan. I had dropped John off at CVS for his scout trip to NC. I made it to Loggerhead Park nice & early, too. I forgot the headband again - a noticeable loss in humid heat conditions. Austin, Troy … Continue reading Spin a negative into a good workout
22 mi. If they really keep track somewhere in "run karma land" the miles you cover ('cause I don't) then I'm that much further towards the goal. I went to the Loggerhead 4 mile road race last night as a volunteer and watched some very impressive performances. Local pro Mitch Guirard came with a barely … Continue reading Twenty two more in the bucket
5 mi. Didn't know I'd be leaving the track workout today with aYogi Berra-like quote word. When we got there, Paul was talking about the breeze (hardly noticeable) and how cool it was for a run (not true). We did medium grade intervals today, I ran cautiously slower than usual, thinking the extra everything I've … Continue reading It’s getting “summery.”
6mi. I didn't think about it until I woke up too early - today's that day when you're supposed to run because everyone else who runs in America will join you in spirit or on the roads. Ok, foregoing all of that, I had some things I wanted to try and Wednesday morning looked like … Continue reading National Running Day
