5 miles On a day when I thought we'd be running on the Benjamin Track, we arrived and had the intervals on the Alton streets again. I used this to put myself over the lululemon Strava Challenge 80k mark. I felt "heavy" running the intervals this morning. I saw my watch at a 6:15 pace when … Continue reading 20 for Alton
5 mi. Last year we had such a mile season for cool weather. I didn't have to dress "warm" except for when I thought my wimpy fingers would need gloves. Surely this was "global warming" hitting the homefront. Today I started in 36 degree temps with an 11 mph wind coming from the NE. At … Continue reading Our winter runs
5 Miles - Doing a track or speed work out the morning after a Christmas party outing definitely tests your discipline. Very easily I could've stayed in bed this morning! The Benjamin School's front gate was locked when we arrived - second week in a row. Paul was prepared with lights and a workout for … Continue reading Enjoying the straights
16.5 mi - I started at 5 am with Janet, we ran to PGA and back in between 8:20-8:30 pace. Once back, I met with Erica for what she explained would be a 7:45 pace. We ran behind Rick, Steve Jackson, Seth, Adam, and Mark Aitken. Erica sais she didn't want to keep their pace, … Continue reading On a good track
The 13th running of our hometown race was memorable. The new ownership does things right, the financial hindrances of the past are gone. This race and its accompanying weekend of events are a stock on the rise. The Bill Bone 5k on Friday night was a fun race. The event was larger than last year, … Continue reading 2017 Palm Beaches Marathon
We had great weather conditions for this event, we had 60 degrees at the start and 63 degrees at the finish line two hours later. The team dinner was good reconnecting with the group that comes to this race each year. Only Miami Marathon has more pacer people! My morning started early as I woke … Continue reading 2017 Space Coast Half Marathon
5mi. Today in when the "once a year runners" show up at track and tune in for the Run 4 The Pies. It was threatening rain, but I checked radar and spoke via text with Janet before committing and leaving to run. I ran from the car to the track, sloshing in more water on … Continue reading Misty Morning for track
5mi Daylight Standard Time is back. So running half of the workout in the daylight always has me thinking I'm late for something. I went half speed just a few days after guide running NYC Marathon with Julie. It was good to see Janet at her first track session in months - she very much … Continue reading First light
5 miles. Today was our seasonal first taste of cooler weather, our starting temp was 55 degrees at the Benjamin Track. Paul and Tim wore long sleeve shirts and cycling skullcaps. Two gals had on prior year Classics By the Sea shirts. Our PBRR Fall Social was last night at Twisted Trunk Brewery. Although I … Continue reading 55 is a great number
5mi. Today I used a different approach. If my challenge is breathing, I worked harder on the intervals and didn't jog all of the 100m recoveries. I wanted to spend the energy on the track while the time was elapsing. It worked out ok, no tremendous breakthroughs. I ran behind James and Steve. Seth was … Continue reading More on the intervals
