10 mi. The group start at the store was thinly attended. The annual Turtle Trot race at Carlin Park was rerouted to start and end at Ocean Cay Park because of the construction on the course. Erica ran with a few other guys at a 7:20 pace - I didn't care or need to keep … Continue reading Solo = Time to learn something
5mi. I was able to do the cool down today - John's school schedule is fading as he prepares to graduate. Paul said we would do mostly 800m intervals, and that's how it went. Some of us guessed the direction changes, but only once we were deep in the routine did we figure out the … Continue reading Some strides back to normal
5 mi. I drove to Erica's this morning to do a workout of three consecutive timed miles with her. My car goofed up driving there, with the transmission not slipping out of 3rd gear, I was left going 30mph at 3000rpms all the way down Military Trail. We ran to the Mallory Creek area as … Continue reading Taxing my breath
2000m - Having not been in the pool for awhile, which seems like I'm typing this all too often, I was happy to just tick off the 40 touches/80 laps. Most of the workout was solo, only at the end after 30 laps did a fast girl get in the lane next to me. To … Continue reading Think about everything and pass the time
10mi. Today post Boston Marathon I came t the store for a "shake-out" run. I didn't need to go fast, but I knew running 10 miles would loosen up any remaining tight spots and soreness in my legs. John said he wanted to wake up early and run, so that was good incentive, too. At … Continue reading Just to see the sunrise
A Special Return... I am fortunate this year to be linked up with Cammie and Jeff, they have a great plan and routine. No Boston Commons bus line for me - I'm being driven to and dropped off at the start line in Hopkinton! This is a huge plus, no crazy jam-up in the athlete's … Continue reading Boston Marathon 2014
7.5mi. The idea of running the hills the week before the Boston Marathon is for some, too much. I do not overtrain, so my run this morning was at an easy pace, I was never out of breath. Joe Ponton came and surprised me on my warmup lap. I planned on spending the whole workout daydreaming and visualizing … Continue reading Eclipse
4mi. I can say there haven't been 4 times in ten plus years of running Paul's workouts where I was the leader of the group. Worded carefully, I'm not claiming I was the fastest one there, Mike and Steve can clearly outdo my best interval efforts. However it happened, Steve ran his own themed intervals in … Continue reading Lead.
8 mi. Boston is in two weeks. I have not trained with Erica hard on weekends nor have I pressed myself on my own runs. I will keep a healthy schedule between now and the marathon, in hopes good weather and nutrition plus a boost from the fans and all give me strength. Today I … Continue reading Blown into the reality of it all.
16 mi. I missed my chance to run in cooler weather by staying out late Friday night, not waking up Saturday at 4:30am to start running at 5 solo. So my Sunday began a few minutes later than planned with a loner workout. I started atLoggerhead park and headed south in the dark. To PGA … Continue reading Rolling towards Boyleston St
