30mi. I rode to the Jupiter Inlet from home, using a later start time (5:00pm) to maybe take advantage of cooler temps. I swear I was caught by most traffic lights on Military Trail heading north... plenty of stop -> clip out of my pedals -> get a drink -> start up again. It was … Continue reading Back on record
5mi. On what I believe to be our last track workout in the parking lot, I was good but slowing at the end of 600 and 1200 late in the session intervals. Seth, Matt K. and Aldo were ahead of me and in those later intervals - breaking away. It was cool 65 degrees and … Continue reading Thursday well spent
5mi. We cannot use the Benjamin HS track yet, the red top surface is down but we have another two weeks before we can run there again. We did some circles of the grounds, the gates were open for construction workers so warmup, cool down and a few of our laps went outside on the … Continue reading Can’t miss too many…
5mi - Again the track is under construction at Benjamin HS, so we run 300m intervals in the parking lot. Anita comes for her first dash since November, Perry is doing Treasure Coast marathon this weekend as training for the JD State Park 50k in April. I stayed as close ass I wanted to Aldo, … Continue reading Street wise in February
29mi. I left the house into a 16mph SSE wind, so NOrthlake Eastbaound was upstream. Once I turned on Military Trail, I benefitted from the wind, but not the traffic signals. I had to complete stop and unclip at Northlake, Burns Rd, PGA, Donald Ross, Frederick Small, Toney Penna and then eastbound on Insdiantown Road, I … Continue reading Hills or wind? Same as..
8mi. Two days after running a 5k at Riverbend Park, I may have been inspired to run the hills with some purpose. I did the mile warmup in 83 degree sun, starting at 3:50pm. Once I hit the bridge for the laps up and down, I decided to sprint all the uphills. This meant 12 … Continue reading Sprinting up!
7mi. Today's bridge workout would be the easiest run to skip or sleep through. I am still feeling Sunday's A1A effort in my quads and lack of flexibility. I did the exercises before driving to the run, and arrived at 4:52 with only Paul there already starting his warm up. We spoke a bit and … Continue reading So necessary!
4500M Maybe the 300m format of intervals has us confused. We do 1500 as the warmup/cooldown, and today we covered 4500 and were done. I ran middle of the pack with Sunday's marathon in Ft Lauderdale ahead. Everything feels good for that... 15oom warmup 300m w/150m recovery 1200m w/150m recovery 600m w/150m recovery 300m w/150m recovery 900m w/150m … Continue reading 300 shy
8mi. I woke up at 1:40am. I stayed awake despite trying to sleep again, but no luck. At 2:40am, I figured if I was going to be awake "thinking," then I might as well be running. So I flung back the covers and got dressed quickly to drive to the bridge. I arrived at 2:55am … Continue reading 3am?
72 miles. The ride from CityPlace in West Palm Beach to Dolphins Sunlife Stadium was really fun! We had done our fundraising and prepared with a few good windy rides on weekends leading up to the event. Jessica had done this before from Boca to the stadium, this was our first attempt at 72 miles. … Continue reading Dolphin Cycling Challenge
