21mi. Wanting to not waste my whole weekend prepping and recovering from the long run, I figure it would be better to do it Friday instead of Saturday. I do have that luxury. Jessica works in Ft Lauderdale this Friday and Saturday, so I could really do it Saturday but decide Friday long run would … Continue reading Split duty
5mi. The first track session of 2015 means I haven't been here in 3 weeks. Nothing for Christmas Day or New Year's Day. We stick to a simple plan that Steve Monks predicts - he feels Paul will get us done quickly and out of the cold wind. 1 mi warmup jog 400m w/200m recovery … Continue reading Into the North Wind
8mi. Today I ran with plenty of folks. Jen Q, Jen K, Regina, John Reback and Steve are all there early. There's a breeze from the SE so we enjoy cool temps all laps on the hill. The running of the hill was routine, no bathroom breaks, meaning I've figured out that eating big on … Continue reading Rocket NOT
20mi. It's a commitment to getting the miles in when I leave home on foot at 4:30am with the idea of getting 10 miles done before the store run. the whole thing is predicated on John remembering to wake up on time and show up at least to drive me home. If he does it … Continue reading Pressing an early one
8mi. John joins me today on his first college break. We do the whole work out for the second week in a row. He is happy to not be running in JAX 30 degree weather. I am happy to be running and talking with him!
8mi. First time in a long time I run the bridge the whole way. That's a mile of warmup, a mile of cooldown, and six miles of hills. It's cool out today, I run a few laps alone and a few with John Reback, before he peels off and does faster repeats with Matt K. … Continue reading An honest one
27 miles (?) The 11th running of the Palm Beach marathon was one to remember. I covered the 10am-12pm Sat shift in the Pacer booth. Our booth placement was out of the way – there was a main "horseshoe" shaped collection of vendors that were centered on the grass at the Meyer Amphitheatre, we were … Continue reading 2014 Palm Beach Marathon
5mi. It's as if most of our local people aren't running the full of half Palm Beach Marathon. They are shying away due to the heat or they have another event in the weeks to fllow. Gary and Dave are doing the half, most others were not concerned about the race. I hoped to go slower than … Continue reading Before the race most leave behind
13.1 miles (Pacing the 1:55 group) Today’s race had good temps and a nicely done start area. This was my first time at this event. Thanks to Pacer Kristen, we parked nearby and had no issues getting to the team photo and lineup on time. I met a few of my runners and discussed the course, … Continue reading Space Coast Half Marathon
7 mi By the time I get to the park, right at 5am, Jen Keyes is already there, parked and ready to run. She tells me Scott Wilkinson will be there to run with us. He was in California and Arizona for a month working. We do a lap (1/2 mile) off warmup then hit … Continue reading Breezy hill run in no hurry.
