Second year in a row for me attending the big race weekend in Boston as a spectator. I had qualifying times last September but didn't want to run it every year, so the opportunity to see the race and be a part of the weekend was a good one for me. I stayed in an … Continue reading Watching Boston Marathon 2018

5k - A good showing for a windy Wednesday night. I came early and met Walter and Nicole who were setting up the UFG tent 66 runners this year from the company, that put us at #5 overall from #10 last year with 42 runners. I did a brief warmup along Flagler Drive seeing how … Continue reading Mercedes Benz Corporate Run 2018
7 mi The break for schools and banks starts tomorrow - but today we had only 5 runners (including Paul) for the workout. Temp was 70 degrees at the start. I ran an extra 1/2 mile on Alton St before the gates opened to the school. I had good pace times when I glanced down at the … Continue reading Five
6mi. I can't say this "might" be our last cool track workout, we've had so many good ones this season already, they keep coming! Today Tracy M joined us. There were fewer people than usual, Spring Break travel and time off claimed a few of our regulars. We did the warmup in Alton and were … Continue reading No one will be jumping up from their desks today
Last winter, there were only a few days worthy of wearing knit gloves. This year, we have had days in the 30s. And here we are in the middle of March, and I'm showing up to track in a beanie, long leg tights and a pair of the Boston Marathon Towns gloves. I ran well, without a … Continue reading Last chill?
5 mi. Today was a good, cool morning. Only a few at the track run, I followed speedy Seth for the intervals. It's the last Daylight Standard time with a hint of light at the end of the intervals, next week is back to all running in the dark... 1 mile warmup jog 100m w/100m recovery … Continue reading Stay focused in the dark
5 miles. 4 days post A1A Marathon, and no Seth, Zeke, or anyone to chase at track today. I am glad my legs feel good, but today is not a day I need to be a leader of the intervals. Mike Sheehan is there and he brings a friend. Mike ran next to me or … Continue reading Shouldn’t be me
5 miles. Today was really nice weather, high 60s, low humidity, and no breeze. We will be wishing for this in a month. I chased Zeke around on most of today's intervals. When someone runs slightly ahead of you and then can press away in the last 100m, it makes me think I am running … Continue reading Overeating
8 miles. I went to the bridge midday to roll through miles. More importantly, to roll through what I didn't execute properly in the effort to run well in Sunday's A1-A Marathon. April Flynn was there, she looked to run AND ride on the bridge. That's a training day! I was happy to do what … Continue reading Thinking it thru
