6 mi. My plan was big, my implementation and courage was weak. The idea was NOT to attend track workout in favor of doing stairs galore at PBG High School. I woke up a few minutes later than usual, did exercises, then drove to the school. I couldn't find a parking place, the lights were on … Continue reading Don’t bother

An offhanded description of what I did and what I thought of during the run…
This was a gamble, training exercise slated for Palm Beach - based at the intersection of the Atlantic Ocean and Worth Avenue. The local Palm Beach police aren't usually keen to having anything "out of the ordinary" occur on their watch. Shirtless people scampering down the Worth Ave straightaway is not on their things to … Continue reading Stealthman 3
30mi This was an exercise in how well I could do while only taking in water along the way. I did not eat any bars or gels. I brought a race belt Suzanne lent me for the first 16 miles, then I relied on the water I would find on the beach and at the … Continue reading Some more ultra exposure
4 mi. One warmup mile and no cool downs when I have John to drive to school. Paul was kind in assigning no 1600m intervals, but close. I ran with Erica on the beginning and ending 600s, and third or fourth behind John R., JT and Seth for the other intervals. Just like this... 1 … Continue reading Stringing the good ones together
8 mi. A warmup mile with Walter, then 6 bridge miles and good chatting with Teresa and Walter. Chelsea overslept so no show for her. I ran my final lap with Adrianna, who also did the cooldown mile with me. I saw Carolyn's new car too! The hills felt good, especially going down. Conditions were … Continue reading Good hills
21 mi. This was a much more humid day with less wind than last Saturday. I ran with Gary and Janine Peart to PGA and back after ticking off one DR bridge lap to Prosperity Farms Rd. Then I joined with Dave Capperelli for the 10.5 store to Inlet run. One more trip over the … Continue reading Another 21
5 mi. Today's workout was in question with Hurricane Irene offshore. There was a 60% chance of rain, but none around when I left the house this morning. Paul ran the show, Erica, Tom Matese, Gary, Perry, Kyle, Teresa, Walter (back a day early from Oz) Robert and Matt K. were already doing their first … Continue reading Go Irene!
8 mi. Having visited Lululemon last night, I was able to convince, guilt or inspire Chelsea to run early at the bridge. Teresa and Robert also started close to 5am, let's keep this pattern rolling! I ran 3 laps with Chelsea, then she took a rest room break, one with Kyle Smith, and the last … Continue reading
21 mi. First run in fire colored Aasics Gel Nimbus 13, and good attempt at using the Garmin 305 too. I started at 4:40 with an over the bridge jaunt. I kept thinking, "I'll be happy when I come back here," meaning I'd almost be done with a long one by then. I found Gary … Continue reading D squared once more.
5 mi. Erica takes the workout during Paul's absence - he's at USAT AG Nationals. Erica did not do a "symmetrical" workout, distancing herself and the intervals from the would-be guessers. I encountered hard rain under the PGA bridge of 95 on Military Trail. I told everyone about it, but I was pushed aside as … Continue reading Go red go.
