11mi. I could have filled a backpack with weights and given that a whirl around the beach road, but I figured the roots, ruts and gravel of Dyer Park's trail system would be the answer. I was trying to press tired legs from yesterday's long 5 1/2 hrs. into service, which wasn't a problem. I … Continue reading Dyer Park tired legs run

32mi. The Garmin reads 31.6 mi., my error in stopping it for a water break and not starting it as soon as I started running again. Walter made the early start with me at 3:20am and he stayed with me for the initial 16 miles. We did not go fast, we averaged maybe 10 min … Continue reading The dress rehearsal

Walter came early at 5 and did the first 6 miles with me, I did the final … Continue reading 10 formatted as hills

Most of the intervals were 150, 100 and 50s. Warmup Set (400y) 100 kick easy @ 0:10 rest, 100 kick moderate @ 0:10 rest, 50 kick easy … Continue reading My own lane is not a luxury.
I have regressed back to pre Miamiman condition. I have only 3 or 4 swims since Nov 8th. Maybe 4 bike rides. My body feels and looks different, even in only that short time span. I didn't eat wildly over the holidays, but I wasn't as vigilant about eating healthier things as before the November … Continue reading Reality.
