8 mi. I ran today with John Reback, all six laps spent talking about current events, local real estate, joking around and of course triathlon. It was nice to hear how his sister will try to qualify for our Olympic Team in London 2012. My pace was good and I enjoyed getting to listen to … Continue reading 6 laps to learn

An offhanded description of what I did and what I thought of during the run…
400m/11mi/3.1mi The fourth time I've entered this race proves to be my best ever! I came with Austin and his parents to help him do his first race. We arrived nice and early, picked out two good transition spots, and had plenty of time to walk through and know what to do when the lights … Continue reading Lake Worth Triathlon 2010
12.5 miles I arrived at the Running Sports Store at 6am. This is later for me, I had planned on running the 10.5 miles solo before the next day's triathlon. I started alone and ran with a guy I have seen before at the track workout, light skin and fast. I made it to the … Continue reading Short Saturday
4 mi. This was a first, Paul sneaking in a mile for time days before most people were racing! I stayed back with Gary, thinking that would be 6:15 ish, but he ran a 6:02 and I was a step off that. I felt good after the mile which was in the middle of the … Continue reading Miles before a local race?
7.5 mi. I ran my first three laps in 85 deg heat solo, and spent the final three with Lily F., talking about all the consecutive races she is doing + MiamiMan things. It was good to keep her pace, even though I'm probably not too far off the original level I was running pre … Continue reading Bridge under full moon
4 mi. Erica runs the workout for the second consecutive week with Paul at ITU Worlds in Budapest. I felt better than any track workout since April, I had good speed, ran some close to Atilla. I did well on 400ms and 1200m distances. I felt breathing was coming on well, I had extra to … Continue reading Erica 2
8mi. A Blue Heron Bridge run that told me my leg is healed, there is no difference between it and the good one. I ran with Kyle Smith for 5 of my miles on the bridge, he is very much improved, climbing, descending and breathing to support his activity. The breeze came from the east, … Continue reading It’s for real
16mi. Ran with Adrianna for the pre-store 6 miles. Then I did the 10 mi from the store with her as well. It was hot, I felt good over the final 3 miles, when I returned to the store my feet weren't as sweaty as last week. I know I have to increase my pace … Continue reading Making longer runs count
4 mi. Erica organized the track workout in Paul's absence. She said we'd do more longer things... and that's how it panned out. It was warm and no breeze - tough to breath. 1 mi warmup 1000m, 200m recovery 800, 200m recovery 400m, 200m recovery 400m, 200m recovery 600m, 200m recovery 800m, 200m recovery 600m, … Continue reading Longer and welcomed
8mi. Running up and down with Kyle for 5 of the 6 miles was good, I kept a higher pace than I would have alone. I LOVED the breeze out of the east, that made running one of the two directions very good, with the the other way being stale and stagnant. I was very … Continue reading Give me that breeze!
