Today was my first track episode in maybe four weeks. I have not gotten faster in that time off. Jen Q has grown faster, she ran well today as did Gary Walk. The 66 degree weather on April 2nd, that was wonderful! 1mile of warmup jog... 1200m w/200m recovery 300m w/100m recovery 300m w/100m recovery … Continue reading Getting caught up
I haven't been here in a few weeks, I am first to the Blue Heron Bridge run at just before 5am. I ran some hills in Denver, but not enough times to say,"I trained while away." Two parking lot laps and I'm on the bridge. Eating at Moe's last night always puts pressure on my … Continue reading Cooler for a bit longer
4-5 miles - John and I landed at noon in Denver for a week in the mountains. He is finishing up his track season, with a few meets ahead that lead to local champoinships. I have the Boston Marathon in four weeks. We can't blank-out for a whole week of running. Mike, our host for … Continue reading Denver south and the hills!
4mi. I arrived a bit late to start the regular warmup with the group - a surprising number of over 20 people. There were a few kids from high school there, and some other guys I didn't recognize. Paul's run through the intervals wasn'ta big surprise, but I don't think anyone guessed it all correctly … Continue reading More than a few are training now
4 mi. This was my first run since the marathon on Sunday. I figured I'd be conservative this time and stay on a physically healthy track for the Boston Marathon. Our intervals included a mile for time, in which I ran with Gary Walk and Dave Garfield at a 6:33 mile. here's how it stacked … Continue reading Relaxed recovery at the track
The morning was nice, I met Jeff and Cammie at the finish line area with designs of parking a car at the finish and one at the start. I arrived at the Sheraton Yankee Clipper about 5am, too early for someone to be manning the parking structure. I parked in the valet lot next to … Continue reading A1A Marathon 2014

6 mi. After a mile warmup solo in the parking lot, I found Scott Hicks by a rental minivan waiting to start the bridge run with me. Notable non-running things about today's workout were the many police and border control vehicles congregating around the parking lot and on Blue Heron Blvd. something was brewing boat … Continue reading Bridge guest
7mi. I come to the bridge run a day removed from a long run or race to loosen up muscles that are used up from the weekend. Paul was there first, I did a mile of warmup in the parking lot - it didn't feel bad at a slow shuffling pace. My outer right foot … Continue reading The recovery begins
