5mi. Today was STILL cold at the track, will we please see regular Florida mornings soon? I came with a t-shirt, shorts, and fleece and the small gloves from my car. I was determined not to be cold. After the first 1000m of workout (below) I tossed the jacket aside. I felt good in that … Continue reading Slow and noticeable!

An offhanded description of what I did and what I thought of during the run…
8mi. This morning was windy and 53 degrees, cooler than I wanted, but after the first lap on the bridge I shed my fleece jacket. Welcome back to the sidewalk, Shelby, it's been awhile! Where was the birthday Char? Also out today were Paul & John Reback, Atilla, Gary, Teresa O. and a friend, Angie … Continue reading Hills again
4 mi. Welcome back, Charlotte! She came and did the whole track ordeal - first time in awhile. My right lower calf area was tight and still hurt, so I was never in the front pack, always in the middle or the rear group. It was very refreshing to have Charlotte to speak with, I … Continue reading Windy & Cool track
13.1 What a cold and windy day we had for this race! I had been sent to Paris for our Euro Expo, an annual conference we hold for our franchisees. This year's version was held at Disneyland Paris, formerly known as EuroDisney. We stayed at the Newport Bay Club, one of Disney's resorts. I was … Continue reading Semi Marathon de Paris
8mi. I went back to the bridge workout today - either not many people plan on hill training for the Boston Marathon this year or they've found another hill somewhere in Florida, but there aren't a lot of people doing this run lately. I started alone, it was 63 degrees, I swear it's colder in … Continue reading Climbing up again.
In November, I heard the concerns and comments. "Dave, you need some meat on those bones..." "You're losing too much weight!" Now, after I've parted with my "skinny down 8 lbs" look and with it - much of my sharpness in cycling and swimming, it's time to go back into regular training. I had run … Continue reading Time to get back to work
5 mi. Today's visit to the track was so I could do my first run after the marathon. I didn't intend to go fast, just do all of the intervals and stretch out my legs. It worked, because I didn't feel achy or fatigued after the workout or for the rest of the day. Here's … Continue reading Just running in circles
Race report for Dave Masterson - A1A Marathon, Ft Lauderdale, Fl. February 21st, 2010.
6mi. I went back to the Esplanade Surfer's Paradise, this time with Walter. I wanted someone to be able to see what I've seen and report back to those at home about what a great place this is. After all, the witness protection program may strongly encourage relocation to Mercurio, MT. But I'm gonna pay … Continue reading Esplanade revisited…
8.75mi. I had no idea the sun lights the morning sky at 4:45am. I had the blackout shades drawn in my room, when I woke up early, I figured the best thing I could do would be to iron everything I brought, so I wouldn't need to do that any more on this trip. Having … Continue reading The Esplanade
