5 mi. I woke up at 3:49am, thought the alarm didn't fire off, so I got right up, did pushups, situps, and drove to the track. Arriving in an empty lot, I really questioned what day it was. I looked at my watch and saw 4:21, a full hour earlier than the whole workout starts … Continue reading 60 minutes more

An offhanded description of what I did and what I thought of during the run…
4 miles. Having skipped the bridge run this morning, I opted to run 4 quick miles in the neighborhood before making dinner for John and I. I tried to be at or under 7 min mile pace. I figured it would be good as a tune up before the A1A marathon, not hills as much … Continue reading Just 4 fun
4 mi. Once back at the track on a foggy, cool morning, I was reunited with Erica and Tom Matese, both 19:05 runners at Race For the Cure. Scott S was going fast, as was Kyle Smith. I need another run fast episode once a week to get better. Like neighborhood 5k? 1 mi warmup … Continue reading Back among the speedy
8mi. After running in very favorable conditions, I thought some about the Hanson Distance Project's philosophy that you train hard as if it were your final miles of a race. The weather was 68 degrees. I ran alone for all of my laps, only a few other runners were there even when I left. carolyn … Continue reading Hills like the last 6 mi of a race
29 mi ride/4 mi run - Walter and I left Loggerhead park at 12:40pm It was a great afternoon to ride, mid 70s and sunny. I used generous amounts of sunscreen, brought one Clif Bar and one water bottle. The breeze was from the Northeast and wasn't a big deal in either direction, but it felt … Continue reading Mini brick workout
8 mi. I arrived at 4:50am to run, right when it started to rain pretty hard, and with a wind from the East at 15mph, it was tough to get out of the car. Temp was 66, I tried opening to door once, rain and wind flew right in. I took off my shirt and … Continue reading Don’t shy from the rain.
22.5 mi Starting at 4:30am, Charlotte and I did the Jupiter Island circuit run. I felt warm enough to go shirtless, but mist, fog and a breeze from the Northwest gave me something to think about once we turned around on the island. Coral Cove park restrooms are locked early am. I felt good for … Continue reading Runs of unexpected length ahead.
4 mi Erica was the leader of the group this time, she mixed up the intervals so as not to be outguessed by the group. Oddly, she chose to include me in what was coming before each interval.. She is faster than I've seen her - I stayed close on most runs, but I predict … Continue reading Trying not to be predictable
8 mi. I arrived at just before 5am, most of the moon was out and bright. It was a deceptive 61 degrees at my house when I left, and 67 degrees at the Phil Foster Parking lot. I really had to think about this run, I felt apprehensive like I had an early morning flight. … Continue reading The moon and the bridge
12.5 mi. And for my first long run of the year, allow me to start at 1:00pm and bring no running for the past few days to the table! I met Chiara, Stanton and Charlotte at Loggerhead Park, they were very prompt and ready to go. I wore a tank top, and at the last … Continue reading Exposure
