5mi. After parking at the Alton street location, Paul rounded the corner in his now-repaired Jeep. He said, "C'mon, we are running on the track today, the gates are open." It was a noticeable difference, the track is softer and springs back with each step. I couldn't see the small repair marks until it was … Continue reading Spongey track again
This workout will never get any easier, it will only get faster.
30 mi. I am in a habit now of going for the loop to the Jupiter Lighthouse and back on a Sunday morning. It's calm with any wind coming from the northeast. I don't run alone much, this is the "time in my head" reflective hour plus I get to myself. I am not going too … Continue reading Solo riding
Sunfest 5k time! It's warm and sunny at 5:30 pm. But that's not the whole story. We are delayed due to a train stuck blocking Okeechobee Blvd. Apparently, runners stuck on the other side called-in to friends on this side, which got to race management in time to stall the start. I warm up by running … Continue reading Sunfest TGI5k 2017
Today I attended the 2nd Garden of Life 5k at PGA National Resort and Spa. I was a volunteer for this event like last year. For the first running of this race, I was at the "crossroads" of golf cart paths that get run past twice on the course. It's an important spot where four … Continue reading A 5k first!
5mi. Just home from a great weekend away in Boston, it was time to tell the stories. Both warmup and cooldown miles were spent recalling the weekend's high points and answering questions. Today was breezy from the east. I ran with Janet, sometimes Atilla and always behind Seth. 1mi warmup jog 300m w/100m recovery 500m w/100m … Continue reading Still in the street.
Welcome Runners! This was my first visit to the Boston Marathon as a spectator! I've been wanting to do this for several years. I know the weekend schedule, I know the town, and I know the course. I can put myself where I want to be, without any of the concerns that I'd have if I was … Continue reading Be Boston – Marathon 2017
6.5 mi I arrived at Alton a little earlier today, Janet and Missy were going to run just a few more warm up laps and I agreed to show up. It was still and humid, maybe we've already experienced the last cool track-type workout of the year? Paul had the sign and we went rapidly … Continue reading Last cool one?
5mi It was 66 degrees out and after last week's short rest in between intervals, I did pushups and burpees to hopefully wake up my lungs for the track workout. Paul brought his new sign and re-marked the course at every 100m for us. I ran with Janet who was ticking along very well for … Continue reading Straight line treatment
30mi. That's got to be what my bike has been thinking as I open the garage door, park the car, and close the electric door again. All without removing the Specialized S-Works from its I haven't been riding much - and when I do the cycling gods are paying notice. My speedometer, CatEye wireless dual … Continue reading Remember me?
