8mi. Double up on the hill sprints - I choose this because who wants to run the sprints the week right before a marathon? Not me! I get Jen Q. interested in this idea, she runs the 2 warm up laps with me, then the first 3 miles. And when she sprints up- she does … Continue reading Encouraging pain for others!
8mi. It's every two weeks that I choose to do uphill sprints for the final three miles of my bridge run. Well, the downhills count, also, so it's 1 mile of warmup, 3 miles of regular hill running, and 6 sprints up with recovery jog coming back down. This was the day to do it! … Continue reading Made for me
5mi. Still barely December, still high 70s in the early morning! Marty, Franci, Paul and Seth where the early ones today. Not a large group for the last track speed workout of 2015. Paul said he was sweating after one warmup lap - he later joked that, "The end times are near" since we haven't … Continue reading Last one of the year…
For all the warnings about weather and everything we had been hearing, we got off light on race day. It was windy, but we were spared the rain that as recently as Tuesday was at 90% chance of wet, wet, wet. We couldn’t seem to get the new Purium Pace Group together at 5:55 am … Continue reading Palm Beach Marathon and Run Fest 2015
8mi run/19mi bike - Today was the fake out of, "These breezes will make it seem cooler than it really is." Paul and I ran a warmup lap, followed by me running another one with Jen Keyes. It was that seedy looking guy in the parked white van that had me wondering... This was my … Continue reading Performance Enhancing Winds
7mi run/19mi bike. A 4:19am alarm means it's Tuesday, my earliest rise of the week. I zip through some situps and pushups and then drive over to the bridge. Some days, it's an easier stretch of road to drive than others. Today, red lights got me bad. I arrived just a tad before 5:00am. Regina … Continue reading Begin Your Day This Way!
5mi. As if the lot of us haven't been to enough of Paul's workouts, we still don't guess the intervals correctly even when it seems so easy. Today was cooler but no breeze at all which made it hot and sweaty after the warmup laps. Perry, Seth, myself, it was a good effort but it … Continue reading When you think you know…
5mi. It might be a little cooler out by only a few degrees. We start and it's dark and humidity is obvious during the warmup laps. After finishing Sunday's Lake Worth Triathlon with a good run, I am confident and in a good mood to train well today. There are a good number of fast … Continue reading Well lit autumn session
This was the most "in control" of all three disciplines I have ever felt in a triathlon.
5mi. After this long, I know who's who at the track. I am usually 4th in the lineup as we do our intervals. Not today. How about tenth! Nine guys show up that all can put 100m into my pace in a mere 800m. Yes, it was warm and sticky out. Yes, I enjoy chasing … Continue reading 9 guys
