8mi. After snapping something that's supposed to be attached to my ribs off of my ribs, this first run back was a test. I found it difficult to breath all the way in or all the way out. I called in breathing in the middle. I was able to run, but not too fast. Charlotte … Continue reading Don’t miss a breath

An offhanded description of what I did and what I thought of during the run…
7.5 mi Bridge running is sometimes biased in that tere is no breeze heading one direction, and the other way is a relif. This morning was a mildest of relief breezes, I was hot even doing the 1 mile warmup. Charlotte came near the end of Lap #1, Scott Hicks came near the middle of … Continue reading No cool laps today
16.5mi. It was an early rise, meeting Chaira, Charlotte and Adrienne at 5 to run to PGA and back before the regular store run. Chiara stashed bottles of water at PGA & FPL, which was good but then allowed us to take three brief stops instead of just two. This hurt when we arrived at … Continue reading Long run w/speed
5mi. Today the track was full of familiar summer folk that make their best appearances during the "school's out" break. Eileen Turrenne was going well, somewhat dismayed that the workouts were predominately short intervals. Chiara, Charlotte, Walter and Jon were all there. Here's how it went. 1 mile warmup jog 100m w/100m recovery 200m w/100m … Continue reading School’s out…
7.5 mi. Arriving it was Walter, Dave Reback and I for the warmup. I was better prepared to start quick, but it did't seem like a big deal today. Very humid out at 5am. Paul was an early riser too, he went his island route warmup. Charlotte arrived in time to do one warmup and … Continue reading Sprinkles too.
This first event at Coral Cove park was a great upgrade on the Running Sports holiday weekend. We based our bikes on our cars as a transition, we had volunteers that helped with water, and timing the athletes. I swam with Austin and chose to ride my mountain bike so as not to be tempted … Continue reading StealthMan
4 mi. I couldn't stay for the cooldown, but the regular workout was good. It was a mix of long and short intervals, which I felt good doing. I ran behind Tom M. for the first one, then kept a good pace through all the other sprints to keep between 4-5th among the guys. 1 … Continue reading Some of each
8mi. I got there in time to catch Walter waiting for Dave Reback to circle the parking lot. We did a perky speed warmup followed by two quick bridge laps before Dave R. went his own pace and Walter and I discussed work and stuff. It was hot at the start, only a small breeze … Continue reading Hot again on the hills
22 mi It gets HOT and humid for run training in South Florida. We enjoyed a relatively cool winter and spring, temps kept lower than usual especially in the morning when I run. The heat is back, mid way through May I was reminded how the next 6 months will be. Charlotte suggested a long … Continue reading If at first you don’t remember
5mi. This week the workouts were a staggered mix of long and short. I did well to push near the front group on most of the long ones. Without Erica, I stayed near Tom Matese and tried to catch a very fast Chris Drew. 1 mi warmup jog 300m w/100m recovery 800m w/100m recovery 100m … Continue reading Nice to be among the speedy again
