5mi. How do I show up for an outdoor track workout and go through the whole thing feeling as if even while running, there is no breeze. Like I was indoors? The blast of full-summer humidity is back, and it gets light very early in the process of covering 3 miles of intervals. I was … Continue reading As still as the indoors
5.75mi. If I didn't opt to sleep through the Blue Heron Bridge workout, I would not have chosen to run a tempo session through PGA National at 5pm in 88 degree direct-sun heat. This is how I repay myself for laziness. I didn't warm up, I went to the beginning of the park and started … Continue reading Penance
5mi. When I show up at track workout and haven't been for three weeks, it feels like I have a big weight around my belt. Everyone is running fast and I'm breathing considerably hard to get this done and stay where I belong. Attila, fresh off his 19:01 5k in NYC and Aldo are who … Continue reading Miss Ya Thrice
5mi. Franci coached in place of Paul this morning. I was expecting fast 400s, I got five 800s. I stayed in good position on the first three, on the final two 800m intervals Aldo passed me convincingly in the final 150m. I'm ok with that! 1mi warmup jog 100m w/100m recovery 100m w/100m recovery 200m … Continue reading Full effort on halves
7mi - It didn't look like rain when I left the house, my phone was predicting a shower at 11am. Wrong-O! I ran my first warmup lap solo in the parking lot. Something changed at Phil Foster Park. There are plenty of cars parked where we park to run, all neatly backed into spots and … Continue reading Don’t whimp out
3.1 mi. This was my first time running this race. I've been a few times as the emcee/announcer, and always thought, "Gee, it's very warm and still out to be blasting through a 5k." The race begins at 5:30pm so it can be over and out of the way for the beginning of the regular … Continue reading SunFest TGi5k
When I drive to group runs, I always take the red VW Beetle NerdMobile. Many people ask about it and the business. I explain we do computers and technology for small and medium businesses. I also inform folks they can learn more about us on our company's website: http://www.nerdsonsite.com https://www.nerdsonsite.com/about-us/service-areas/west-palm-beach-computer-support ...and through review websites like … Continue reading What kind of car is that?
5mi. This morning I arrived at a cool, breezy track session. Looked like we'd have low attendance, until right as we finished the warm up. A big crowd of people, Dave Reback, some of his family and a few more folks came up. Paul asked early on how come I haven't been around. Good notice … Continue reading That “Where Have You Been?” Question
5mi. Today I must have hit all the red traffic lights on the way to running, I was late. I did 3 laps of the warmup, so many younger people and new faces today! I ran mostly with Erica, slightly behind her on most intervals. I ran the 200ms and the mile at my own … Continue reading Getting popular again!
7mi. Like I haven't done this enough times to know, the Blue Heron Bridge works your run muscles well. I arrived begrudgingly at just before 5am, I was thankful to see Jen Q and Cody there. Jen Keys is still walking the hills, great for her, I expected her to already have delivered Baby #2. … Continue reading Taking care of the tender spots
