7 mi. I wasn't first, but the minivan parked next to me wasn't one I knew. I found Joe pulling in as I got ready to start the warmup - good thing! He always has stories and is good to laop the bridge with early. Lilia, Adrienne, Gary, John and Matt, Sharon Seabury, people kept … Continue reading Plenty of runners!

8mi. I don't get to cruise all 6 miles of hills with John often, so it was neat to discuss his USAT Nats race and then do the last 3 laps listening to Matt Kakuk explain his bike woes. Tires, rims, and all that come with it. We kept a good pace, stayed cool in … Continue reading Pro escort
50mi ride/3 mi run It was just yesterday. It was based on experience, from February 'til now. And it came true! I said while running how there seems to be a pattern of weather for weekend workouts. And it wasn't isolated, I told a few people, got a few laughs, and kept going. The Saturday … Continue reading The prediction comes true
28 mi. Today's ride I started early. The weather said hot and humid with a SSE wind of 4mph. I didn't feel any breeze pushing me north, I wasn't going that fast (Need to repair cheek lights to see speedometer) heading up, most glances at the gauge said 21mph. I had to slow and maneuver … Continue reading Just 20mph
4 mi No cooldown today, my right ankle, injured, treated, iced often, doesn't need much more on my first track play back. Very good to see many people for the first time in two months. This is what I slowly followed for intervals...1 mi warmup.300m w/100m recovery 300m w/100m recovery 300m w/100m recovery 400m w/200m recovery 500m w/100m recovery 500m … Continue reading It wasn’t zippy but it counts.
50mi. When do I get to start a ride at 11:40am? It's when our office is closed for Columbus day and nearly everyone else has to go to work. Suzanne and I left from the small parking lot at Loggerhead park, ready for max sun. Riding up to Sandsprit park was good, I spent zero … Continue reading That’s the benefit of being off.
7 mi. A mile of warmup and 6 bridge laps make for tired legs second time this week. I was alone except for the local walkers and a few runners I didn't know that arrived as I was leaving. I know these small hills are mild and paved compared to my race in a week … Continue reading Even more climbing
18mi. I did the hurried Wednesday ride with Suzanne, taking a small bit of time to violently yell at a goofy motorist who signalled to trurn in front of us, slowed us to a stop, then waited for us to pass. We had a good headwind going NOrth, so coming back to the start point … Continue reading Wait for the good stuff
7mi. When Paul says it's a nice winter day for a run, that's a good sign. I enjoyed a good NE breeze that cooled your back one way and your face the other. Angie and Chelsea came out early to do some hills, Chelsea having been here before seemed unfazed by the up and down, … Continue reading Breezy bridge run feels good.
