5 mi. After a 1 mi warmup that really showed me how warm it was, I commented to Charlotte how last week's track session was full of 200s and 3oos, good for my first one back in awhile. That was all I needed to say - this workout was mostly long stuff that taxed my … Continue reading Don’t try to out guess Paul.

An offhanded description of what I did and what I thought of during the run…
8mi. During the 1 mi warmup I was questioning my breathing. Each lap of 6 on the bridge was tough, I felt very lazy and slow. I noticed a difference between good leg and injured side, but no ill effects on the hill. It was humid and dark - the east side of the bridge … Continue reading The:Last:Bridge:Runner
10mi. Ordinarily, a holiday weekend means more time to run and ride long. That's when I'm not injured or recovering - a regular start at the store run yielded a warm 10 mi for me today, with no lingering effects afterwards. I ran with Suzanne and a guy named Richard Powell. We saw Mimi running, … Continue reading Saturday’s are back, too!
8mi. Joined by Walter, I ran the mile warmup and cooldown and a slow 6 miles of hills. No ill effects from my left calf muscle, which was the hope. I think it was the warmest 5am start ever on the bridge, my car said 86 degrees. It at one point driving there said 89, … Continue reading Bridge Tues
5 mi. As best as I can remember, Here is Paul's workout --- 1 mi warmup 2 x 300m, 100 recover in between, 200 recover at the end. 4 x 500m, 200 recover 3 x 200m, 200 recover 2 x 500m, 200 recover 2 x 300m, 100 recover in between, 200 recover at the end. … Continue reading Good to be running track instead of just driving there.
6.5 mi What a surprise, I finished 6.5 of 7 miles and left limping. I arrived alone, ran a mile in the parking lot and felt nothing adverse. Then I ran bridge lap #1 alone, too. I encountered a loudmouth drunk coming down the hill, so when I saw Adrienne and Lisa Reiss staring, I … Continue reading Stung once more
6 mi. Even though I ran my slowest possible Blue Heron Bridge laps ever today, it was good that I covered all the miles and had no ill effects from the recovering left leg. I got there and did not do the warmup mile or the cool down mile. I'd say without an accurate count … Continue reading It counts.
6 mi. A tune up run for the first time in a month. I ran my boring neighborhood route in 10 minute miles to see what my calf muscle feels like. I felt it different at mile 1. Tighter at mile 2. Very tight up & down my leg at mile 3, but not pain … Continue reading As slow a shuffle as shuffle is.
2000 yards. The weather was 77 degrees and I never got a read on water temp, but maybe the recent rains of last week lowered them to be cooler. I arrived after 12:45 so no crowds, not even of people who had already been swimming and were showering or getting dressed to leave. I did … Continue reading It’s colder in the pool
1 mi warmup + 2200m intervals + 3 steps. Tax day! Usually not an issue for me, except for this year, when for personal reasons I had to wait 'til the very end to get my federal return done. No problems here. But that's not the real tax - today I pulled a calf muscle … Continue reading Taxed more than ever.
