8mi. Daylight savings now keeps it dark the whole run. I had Charlotte as some company and a few others came to play in cool 67 deg weather. I'll be begging for this in a month!

An offhanded description of what I did and what I thought of during the run…
4mi. No cooldown, John is at home. Erica leads the workout, trying to not be predictable. She starst with a 1000m, and ends long, too. I will predict that under her guide, we will never run a 100m or a mile. Just a thought....
4mi. I ran well in breezy 72 degree weather at the track today. I learned Gary and Perry are Boston bound, Missy and Teresa are already on schedule to race April 18th. I ran the warmup with Erica who may want to ride Saturday since she is racing Sunday. I noticed only 16 runners today, … Continue reading Getting sprite so soon?
8 mi. Really I did 6 miles on the sidewalk, with a warmup mile and cool down mile to make 8 for the workout. It was 68 degrees at the start, with a nice cooler breeze from the west. One lane of car traffic was limited in each direction, so now we have less to … Continue reading 8 on the sidewalk
5 mi. I knew I wasn't going to go hard, but people keep asking why I'm here. It's good to hear congratulations from friends on the A1A marathon. Most do only the half and many did PR best performances Sunday morning. 1 mi warmup jog 200m w/100m recovery 400m w/200m receovery 300m w/100m recovery 500m … Continue reading Even when I shouldn’t
10.5mi. I ran the regular Saturday loop with Charlotte. We we in a slow pace right from the beginning, and we kept it the whole way, arriving back at the store at 7:50. Linda gave me a mention before the run for A1A results, as did a few people that knew or saw it in … Continue reading Getting the shout out
7 mi. I came at the regular time to do the regular routine. The first few steps in the parking lot were the slowest shuffle I could muster. It didn't hurt my legs, but everything was slow going. After two laps I met Gail, a new runner to the area from NC. That was good … Continue reading Recovering on the hills
26.2 mi. This was year 6 for the A1A race, I erroneously posted year 7 on Facebook. I had heard it was going to be a warm day to run, but in previous years I'd known it to be warmer, so I wasn't concerned about that. If all went well as I planned and trained … Continue reading A1A Marathon 2011
4 mi. Today was a lay back and show up track workout. I just want to approach this Sunday's A1A marathon with the freshest set of legs possible. I'll eat well for the next few days, hydrate, and not look to press the speed in the morning workout. Paul knew most were there and doing … Continue reading Right before the fray
4mi. So just leave the front door and time a 2 mile out and back sprint? This was fun the last two weeks in lieu of the bridge run, and I believe this familiarization with the breathing and lungs necessary to do well in a 5k like event. I did 26:01 this week, negative split … Continue reading A new piece of speed
