4mi. I didn't elect to run in the rain and wind at the bridge today, so this 4 mile tempo style run was the substitute. I went around Abacoa and took approx 40 minutes, so the estimate of 4 miles is safe. I know my pace was below 8 min miles for the whole thing. … Continue reading Instead.

An offhanded description of what I did and what I thought of during the run…
10mi. I was supposed to meet Chiara and run from her house to Publix PGA and back. When I drove there, I found a txt message saying she felt her leg was hurt, but I figured she'd still be there. Not today, I parked off the side lawn of her house and slowly chugged through … Continue reading Dark the whole time
4.5mi. I did the full mile warmup but only half of the cooldown today. We had 27 people running today, Scott and Carolyn rode there, Dave Reback brought his new UPS van full of daughters, it was good, cool 71 degree weather with a breeze. Here are the intervals... 2 x 100m striders, 100m recovery … Continue reading Last week, 400s, this time 800s.
8mi. Good temps and a slight breeze from the east means it's Blue Heron Bridge time again. I am really confident today's run will push my mind back to the more predictable experiences of a sweat, going at a good pace, and seeing more people show up early. Today I was beaten to the run … Continue reading Back to Normal?
4.5 mi. This was a simple workout, 12 repeats of 400m each. We broke the into sets of three, inside the sets we had 100m recovery. In between the sets of three were 200m recoveries. I would say I ran at about 75%-80% speed, many times shadowing Erica and Tom Matese. I kept thinking, "Just … Continue reading Roll it over and over.
8mi. I arrived on time, my time that is, right before 5am. Only Jon was there running before I began, I saw him when I drove up the bridge. It was 56 degrees and a good sustained wind directly form the west. I wore a t-shirt and my finger gloves, my first lap over the … Continue reading CSI Riviera Beach
20mi. I'd say 58 degrees would be ideal for that long run before a marathon. Walter & Chiara met me today at 5am, I arrived early and did 2 mi on the bridge first. We went to PGA and back, did not stop at the store, and ran to the inlet, back to the store … Continue reading Long Lemon Run
4.5 mi Did I know today would be the 32 runners showed up for track workout day? Or that we'd sing "Happy Birthday" to Paul? Or he'd dole out a mile for time? None of the above. Today's intervals were: 1 mile warmup 400m w/200m recovery 200m w/200m recovery 200m w/200m recovery 600m w/200m recovery … Continue reading Best attendance ever!
8mi. I can see how I'll adjust to the inevitable warming that's overdue for the morning workouts. It was 58 degrees, but windy from the west, so my first lap on the bridge was chilled. I had a tech t-shirt on, so it wasn't that bad. Jon was there, Adrienne and Angie, Randi Garvey, Gary, … Continue reading Faster alone
13mi. This was originally slated to be a 16 miler, but last minute pleas from Walter and Chiara had us start at 5:30am for 13 miles. I had a rare early little league game to be prepared for, this was an 8am start for John. I figured do the 3 miles first, meet the large … Continue reading A Saturday for long, slow distance.
