4mi. It's customary for us to get less people when winter. Today we had maybe 10 runners. Weather was warm like a late spring morning. I ran half speed, having just done the Miami Marathon 4 days earlier. Our intervals -- 1 mi warmup jog 300m w/200m recovery 300m w/200m recovery 600m w/200m recovery 900m … Continue reading Track among other achievers
Pacing for the 4:10 group...Originally scheduled to be in the 4:00 group, two days before the race we receive notice that due to expected heat, we will start the pacing groups ten minutes slower. Ok, I did 4:10 last year, I'll do it better this time! I used the Skechers Ultra shoe this race. I … Continue reading Lifetime Miami Marathon 2014
7mi. I came out in a pair of old Nike shorts and a cotton t-shirt. Temp was 61 leaving my house, 64 at the bridge. Paul and I started the warmup run together, he had two shirts on. Part of me thought maybe I should run with the mini dollar store gloves, but that got … Continue reading Sixty one
16mi. Knowing my long run for A1A Marathon is the Miami Marathon, I don't have too many weeks to pull out a better effort than just a long Saturday run. I have upped the difficulty level by doing the speed in the Saturday workouts. This needs to be a good effort. Megan said she'd run … Continue reading Time to work hard
4 mi. I heard the palm trees slapping against the house and wind blowing, almost like Tuesday morning I considered how I might skip the run and do it myself. Not today, there's Krankit Kore after work with John. Get out of bed and head to the track. This morning was warmed than the last … Continue reading Run with them
10.5 miles This morning I wanted to do Erica's workout since it had progressively more difficult speed intervals at the end. We met at the store at 6a, Everyone must have thought it was to be cold out - I saw long sleeves, run tights, 3/4 crop pants, plenty of hats and not many bare … Continue reading Speed with the distance
5mi. Track workout, first one of the year and having missed the last two, first one in almost a month for me. I can't seem to stay focused on how many meters of running we do, although I think I have it all tracked carefully. Today was an example of how I must hoave goofed … Continue reading Can you count?
8 mi. I knew tomorrow I could wake up at 4:15 and do this run, but really, I don't have to be up early, I could run with Bob Anderson's group and have it all done. Better plan! I drove there and arrived at 5:30pm for the 5:45 group. Next in the lot was Bob … Continue reading Saved the best for…NOW!
10mi. Palm Beach on Christmas Day - a great idea for a run. John and I easily made the drive to the center of WPB on completely empty roads. I guess this was a first. not having to open the gifts before anything else. John and I both thought this would be a good idea … Continue reading The Christmas Run
45 mi. Nobody likes to hear that sound. It's the crunching of metal, carbon and a thump of someone going down. I always say, a fully grown adult that comes out once a week makes a special sound when they hit the ground. It's ugly and sad, and sobering because I hope it's never me. … Continue reading Merry… Uh oh!
