7-8mi. I know when I run in Las Vegas I'll get to see the Strip changing it's diapers. People cleaning, getting signs changed out, or others bumbling home from a night out. I ran form Rio to Twain, under the I-15 to Franck Sinatra and north. I worked my way through the backstreets to the … Continue reading Familiar ground

An offhanded description of what I did and what I thought of during the run…
4 mi. So few people showed up to run and even less than any previous year were coming before heading to run Boston on Monday. Gary Walk agreed to pickup my packet so he was trying to go slower than his usual pace - somewhat successful, Erica gave him a "C" grade for his taper … Continue reading Low attendance for Boston bound runners.
8mi. Ok, back on track with the bathroom prep, no issues today, but oh well, the rest rooms were open anyway. Today was the first day where the north side of the bridge was fenced off, no pedestrians. The other side isn't done yet and has remained seemingly dormant for months, but here goes, they're … Continue reading Bridge corral
5 mi The workout today had good elements for a still tired set of legs. I noticed while bridge running that my left quad shook a few times during downhill steps, a sign it's still recovering from the 100k two weeks ago. Some said the school is getting tough with Tuesday night runners and liability … Continue reading Symmetry
4.5 mi I did a quick half mile parking lot lap with Walter, Teresa and Paul. Those were cautious steps, but I really felt better than after a marathon for a speedy time. Ironically, I showed Paul where the individual bathrooms were... not knowing a mere 2 laps into my run I'd be scrambling to … Continue reading Learn a new lesson
62 mi The thought of how hot is was supposed to be didn't phase me, I know Florida is this way, and I was confident the heat wasn't going to get me. I did the packet pickup Friday night with Suzanne, a quick in-and-out of the meeting then a dinner at a Zuccharelli's restaurant in … Continue reading Palms 100
5 mi Did the track workout, but very conservatively. I stayed way back, did a few 300sat a good speed, but they were at the end after most had spent their morning energy doing a mile for time. 800m w/200m recovery 100m w/200m recovery 600m w/200m recovery 100m w/200m recovery 200m w/200m recovery 1600m w/200m … Continue reading Rolling in the caboose
7mi. My plan with hill running today was to try the trail running Saucony shoes, but I never remembered to put them out so I wore the questionable Aasics Kayanos. I met Walter a few minutes late and Teresa O found and scared us on the warmup. I ran 5 bridge miles before leaving for … Continue reading Shoe test or not
16mi. The intent was a slow run. Done and Garmin verified, my average pace for the "5am start to PGA & back - store run to the Inlet and back"was 10:45. And still, for Palm 100, that will be too fast. I'm guessing I'll have to do walking interspersed with the slow pace running to … Continue reading Slow all the way
4mi. The Palm Beach Road Runners have setup a back-to-back race weekend with the annual Shamrock 10 mile race Sat and the newer Spring Training Classic 10k on Sunday. They call participation in both the Irish version of Disney's Goofy Challenge. Because of this weekend of races, I don't think many people wanted to run … Continue reading Low attendance before”Irish Goofy”
