24mi. I'm not going to San Diego, but Walter is so I ran his long test run with him. Our route began at the store at 4am, we ran straight East on Donald Ross Rd for 3 mi then turned and back. At 5am, Adrienne, Chiara and Suzanne met us. Then we ran to PGA … Continue reading 24 for San Diego

An offhanded description of what I did and what I thought of during the run…
5 mi. I came to play some but barely awake, I have been goofed by changes in the traffic lights on the way, barely making it in time for the warmup jog. I didn't bring a drink, and it got noticeably lighter before we were done running today. 1 mi warmup jog 400m w/200m recovery … Continue reading Erica’s lead
8 mi. Walter met early and we ran the route uninterrupted. Paul and John Reback came, we spoke at the end of the run on Laura's Olympic trials race in San Diego. Paul was slated to travel there and do the age group part of the race over the weekend. Walter had some extra zip … Continue reading Full 8 feels good
4 mi. No cooldown today but a close call on missing the warmup. I got stuck at a few more red lights than usual, and I saw the group start as I was jogging in from the parking lot. Ugh! No Walter today, he was at the airport off to see Warren Buffet speak in … Continue reading Zipping along as summer draws near
8 mi. For the begining of May, we don't usually get 70 deg weather and a cool ocean breeze. If this is global warming, then I'm an oil and coal company fan! Walter and I started with Teresa and Chelsea and another former lulu employee guy. We separated on and off for the laps, Adrienne … Continue reading Cooler than we deserve
8 mi. I met Walter at 4:55am on a breezy, 78 degree morning. Chiara was already in the cage ticking off laps. I'm surprised to see that so much of the south wall's turquoise fence has been put up, maybe they're embarrassingly behind schedule and working quick to get one side of the bridge fixed. Fine … Continue reading St Anthony’s finishers and Suzanne, too.
6.5 mi. I ran the trails of Dyer park with Austin. It was warm but with a breeze. We started with a jog from the model airplane strip to the far side of the soccer fields and around to the entrance gate, then a run back into the park. We ran the hill trail last, … Continue reading Trail running on Sunday
5 mi. To make the few that are heading to St. Anthony's do a mile for time was odd, but I'm not one of those. We ran some 400s first, then the mile, followed by more 400s. My mile was 6;11, Walter zipped by on lap 3 and was strong in a 6:03 finish estimated. … Continue reading Pre St. Anthony’s mile
6mi. Running through my neighborhood isn't a new idea. I got so bored of the route I stopped doing it years ago. Putting some breath and pace behind it is what I'll need to pry my way into a newer level of speed. Three times a week out of routine has gotten me here. Now … Continue reading A new idea
16mi. A peak at the radar online would have most bail out on any planned run today... it was green rain and yellow storms across the whole state. I woke up not to the sound of the radio alarm, but to static, I must have blown out the FM station I usually get when I … Continue reading Drizzled
