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.
20 mi. One of the more peculiar runs I've done... I arrived at the Marcinski Rd bunker parking lot at 5:20am. We planned on starting at 5:30, but no Dave when that time arrived. I sent a text which must have woken him up, he replied and said he was sorry and would be another … Continue reading My Oddest 20
6.5mi - A cool morning with a sunrise that makes people feel they are late for work. And a timed mile interval, which I hadn't done in months. I thought I was slowing, I haven't run with any person or grop consistently at the track so that lack of "competition" leads me to think I … Continue reading Who knew?
5mi. There is one thing that always bothers a runner, myself certainly included. It's starting out in the rain. Leaving the car, house, whatever all dry and immediately putting yourself on wet roads with rain coming down. I don't mind getting caught in the rain, that cools you off and could happen in any race. … Continue reading Start wet
13mi / 5mi. First up - the Saturday run with the group. Dave met me, Walter was in Taiwan and Manila. I got to the store early and quickly realizeed I had no food/gel/snack. I will try to formulate a healthier alternative than the heavily processed gels I have always used. They cannot be good for … Continue reading Two for the 9th
5mi. Paul had a good showing today, plenty of the regulars ribbed me about not being at track lately, which spilled into others contributing that I hadn't been at the bridge on Tuesdays. This is what happens when you alter a 10-12 year habit and running schedule! Paul's intervals today had many thinking we'd be … Continue reading Where have you been?
12 miles - An early morning wake up had me driving down I-95 to meet Erica in Mallory Creek to sprint 6 half mile repeats. i had done this with her once before, so I knew the route. We had to complete them in 3:00, all of ours were completed in under 2:55 with the … Continue reading A double up
40 miles - Second day in a row for a ride to the Loblolly end of Gomez Road in Hobe Sound. It is cool again, windy again, and about 1:30-2:00pm. I think the ride yesterday makes my legs a little softer, I don't feel I have the "pep" I did on Saturday. Today I remember … Continue reading Forty wind two
