3.1 mi. Time to go fast in warm weather. Last year I received a comp entry but was not put in the proper age group. I was listed as "uncategorized" so I was not eligible for a prize. I did a warmup run of about 2 miles with Jen and Maureen. I knew it was … Continue reading 2018 Sunfest 5k
5.5 miles. It's an unnatural request to ask your body to wake up and run a fast, timed mile first thing. To be fair, we do a warmup, today for me was 1.5 miles. And other intervals came first. I tried to make sure my mid-interval pace was below 5:50 for the shorter ones. I … Continue reading Unnatural
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

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
