4mi. After mentally forging into the sprinkle that began the moment I left my home in the car, I go to the track to find very humid conditions but no more rain. I arrived later than usual but was the third person there, following Walter, Paul and another guy. We started with the usual 1 … Continue reading This needs work

An offhanded description of what I did and what I thought of during the run…
7 mi. The first run of the year, an easy 7 miles with a small group on Jan 2 from the Running Sports store. From the sounds of it, some were riding afterwards, some were coming back to the store for champagne. I ran with Carolyn and just yapped about things coming up this year. … Continue reading A Mild Beginning
4 mi It's good to reconnect and socialize, this was my first run since PB Marathon. Paul was kind with no mile sprint today, and the 43degree weather was a test enough for both. Thankfully no wind! Here are the details... 1 mi warmup jog. 800m w/200m recovery 400m w/200m recovery 400m w/200m recovery 400m … Continue reading Back to track
26.2 mi. Our best weather yet for the seventh Palm Beach Marathon, this year we were introduced to a new course. The route took us north for the first 1.5 miles, south again past the start/finish line area, and south to Manalapan towards the Ritz Carlton Hotel. I brought Shelley Thompson and Heather Smith with … Continue reading Palm Beach Marathon Festival 2010

Instead, Paul was absent, Erica planned the day, and here's how it went. 1 mi warmup jog. 1200m w/200m recovery 200m w/200m recovery 200m w/200m recovery 1000m w/200m recovery 300m w/200m recovery 300m w/200m recovery 800m w/200m recovery 400m w/200m recovery 400m … Continue reading The last workout before the race.
4 mi. No cooldown this week, time to dash home and get John ready for the school drive. I went way faster than I intended today, post race + 3 days. The workout favored short intervals and thankfully didn't have a timed mile, so I did well. I have to get through the breathing holds … Continue reading Put it down before I’m ready.
7 mi. I skipped the cooldown, but really enjoyed the results of running 6 bridge miles so soon after the MiamiMan tri. It was great, first two miles were slow and sore, but my stride opened later and I knew I was doing my legs good. I wore new compression recovery socks to work, that … Continue reading That first post race run
What a day and what a race! Great conditions yielded my best day combining the three disciplines, a 5:04 time. Swimming was 2-3 minutes better than last year, with the swim transition in a better spot for the bikes. People helped me out of my wetsuit this year, that was a luxury. I started the … Continue reading MiamiMan Triathlon 2010
5 mi. I had all intentions of lying back and coasting thu the track workout today... and I did. I ran with Perry, who was off a good 1/2 Marathon the week prior. I remember thinking if Paul asks for a mile for time it will be my slowest mile ever recorded! I feel good, … Continue reading Socially showing up for a good one.
10.5 mi. Time to just glide through the Saturday run, making no attempts at speed, just keeping fresh and loose. It was easy! Then I went to Big Wheel Cycles for a tune up.
