7.5 mi Took my time getting started, I ran only one lap around the parking lot with Walter before Chiara and Charlotte arrived ready to run. This was maybe the first time in a very long time that the four of us came to run the bridge together. It may be the last with Charlotte's … Continue reading Final Four

An offhanded description of what I did and what I thought of during the run…
16mi. Surely before a century ride I should relax and be sociable, run light and be strong for tomorrow, right? Steve Bernstein, Walter and I ran 16 starting at 5am, easy running to PGA and back. (self supplied water with no jug at FP&L anymore) At the store we barely made it to the water … Continue reading Tape these together and they look very nice…
5 mi. Perry called out the intervals today, a really hot and still humid morning. No relief from a breeze or a temp under 83 at 5:30am. We ran the following workout. 1 mi warmup jog 1000m w/200m recovery 400m w/200m recovery 200m w/200m recovery 800m w/200m recovery 800m w/200m recovery 600m w/200m recovery 400m … Continue reading No Paul, no mile…
8 mi. I can't remember having the bathrooms locked before and after a Blue Heron Bridge run. The water fountain worked, but that's all. I ran with Charlotte and Chiara, who crept up the hills on the sidewalk then zipped past us on each downhill portion. Low attendance from others in the area. Teresa and … Continue reading No relief
16 mi. I started at 5am with Walter, a run to PGA Blvd and back where I brought a 12oz water bottle and left it at FPL for the way back. Once at the store, I saw Chiara and Suzanne ready for their 10 miles. I ran with both of them and Steve Bernstein, discussing … Continue reading LSD – Long silly distance
10 miles. It is an unlikely day when I'm doing this many miles after work, but the chance came - so go. Chiara and Walter were planning this, I did not run at the bridge early this morning so it was ripe for me to makeup the time on my feet from a lackluster mileage … Continue reading 10 @ 7
1/4mi/10 mi./3 mi. A good outing on a wet course. My swim was a mess of bumping into people and learning the lesson that being better than most of the people will help me avoid that in the future. This should have been much easier to do in a 1/4 mi straight line! Biking … Continue reading Multirace Tradewinds Tri
mini tri. It was raining at home, dry at the TRS store as I drove by, and pouring on A1A. I found doused Charlotte first, she was turning around and heading back to her car and home. Then Walter, who pressed on to finish 16 in the now cool air. The training tri was supposed … Continue reading Stealthman 2
5 mi. When there's mist that early in the morning, it means no breeze and clammy air. We ddi good intervals, breaking things into 1600s like this... 1 mile warmup jog. 100m w/200m recovery 500m w/200m recovery 1000m w/200m recovery 400m w/200m recovery 300m w/200m recovery 900m w/200m recovery 600m w/200m recovery 800m w/200m recovery … Continue reading Misty and humid
8mi. There are no lights on the north side of the bridge where we run. Thankfully the construction is done on the north side so it's not a free for all with the traffic. Walter came after my first lap of warmup, and we ran 3 laps with John Reback. I wasn't as slow as … Continue reading I must like the mornings
