5mi. As our group passes into mid-September, we have little break in humidity. There are no breezes, and almost weekly I see the threat of thunderstorms on my MYRadar app before I leave home. I know it will be clear but wet when I arrive, so no delays - it's off to the run. 1 … Continue reading Sometimes there’s no noticeable change
7mi. I only did a 1/2 mile warmup and cooldown, no one seems to start or finish when I do so I clip off early. Arriving at the Blue Heron Bridge today, I see fewer cars for the new crop of people who sleep in the park. I don't know why, maybe a more forceful … Continue reading Less sleepers, more humidity
5 mi. This year I'm not registered in the Loggerhead Triathlon. A few notable locals, Erica, John Reback, Karen Paxton, Robert Dabrowski, they aren't racing it this year, either. Only a few guys doing the race came to track this morning. As a result, I was running up front with Aldo for my intervals. 1 mi … Continue reading Track anyway
7mi. I arrived alone, and my first two over the bridge laps were solo. Lanae came and ran with me for the thrid lap, then I did the 6 sprints that I cheesed-out on doing last week. It was my first time trying to land "underfoot" on a hill since having my runner's eval. I … Continue reading First timer
30mi. I rode my regular loop to the Jupiter Inlet and back. Today, I remembered to wear a headband under my helmet, and use sunscreen spray. It is noticeably warmer this summer vs. past years. We don't get the afternoon rains that would bring cooler afternoons. My ride was not speedy, good heading with the … Continue reading Remember the Heat
5mi. We don't often do the whole set of intervals in such an organized, predictable fashion. Our weather has been very hot and humid even so early in the morning. Matt K. and Aldo were there, some of the intervals I led, some they pulled me through faster than I would have gone alone. Left … Continue reading Ladders down
48mi. Second week in a row for this group. Our area has a large number of very fast cyclists. I am not one of them. No different than showing up for a Masters Swim meet, I came again to the Sunday 7:30am ride. Last week we went 32 mph on US-1, post-beer and wine at … Continue reading The B Ride
5mi. We only get this once or twice a year... Two 1600m intervals in the same workout. Paul said this was the workout planned for the rainy Thursday a month ago that I saw on my iPhone radar app and chose to stay home for. Yup, it didn't go away! I ran the first mile … Continue reading Double Miles
5mi. Franci began the workout by telling us that Perry Feyk would enjoy her selection of intervals. Today was a few degrees cooler than last week. We had the dad and his 12 year old son back with us. He can run a 5:16 mile and would like to qualify for the Junior Olympics by … Continue reading Perry will like this one
7.5 mi This storm turned out to be a big nothing for our area of South Florida. Yes we had wind, not much rain at all. I was sure to check the radar before making the drive, it looked ok enough to commit to bridge running with sprints. When I arrived, no other runners were … Continue reading Tropical Storm Colin
