1 hr - Ran the River route again, but this time took new field support rep and room mate Andrew Collins. We took a path trying to retrace the way I came home the other day. We ran about 9 min miles was my guess. Andrew has done some adventure style races and mud runs, … Continue reading The river revisted
1 hr 15 min - This morning I left the hotel to run as it was still dark. Not knowing which way to go, I figured that the path surrounding the stadium oval I could see from my room was a good place to try for. It was under construction, with an older soccer pitch … Continue reading Adelaide solo run
Training Group in the Northern Palm Beach area focusing on the Palm Beach Half Marathon - Dec. 8th, 2013
20 miles. I don't get many Mondays off she the rest of the working world is at it. I decided that since my weekend was spent in transit to and from Tampa, today would be my long run. The 3 weeks from your marathon long run everyone is supposed to do. I drove to Loggerhead … Continue reading Taking the day as an opportunity.
4mi. "...at the nursing home!" says Paul as he assigns us our second timed mile for the morning. We don't get "miles for time" except for about each five or six weeks. But today, getting a mile interval so early in the workout made many of us think that we'd be trying to better the … Continue reading We do this workout all the time…
3mi. We started the half marathon training group tonight at Thirsty Turtle in Juno Beach. My biggest concern was, "What if only one person comes to train with us?" Wouldn't a complete shutout - no runners - be the worst thing, the failure totale? Not for me, if no runners came out, I'd go home … Continue reading The beginning!
7 miles. I came early to find only one car in the lot before me... A girl that ran the first half lap with me in the parking lot. Hannah was new to the running schedule but I'd seen her at the track workouts, she is looking to do a few local runs and is … Continue reading Cooler and dedicated
4 mi. I arrived and the group had just begun warming up. It was a still morning, the benefits of October weather still haven't arrived. But they will. Days from now I'll be writing about cooler weather, breezes and even less humidity. Maybe that's from Australia. Track is supposed to awaken the fast twitch side … Continue reading Stretching things a bit
50 mi. "Take a few breaths and keep going." Maybe let your exhales be heard, I thought, even though no one else was around. I found myself doing this throughout my time on the trails at this year's North Face Gore Tex 50 mile race. Same venue, FDR State Park in Pine Mountain Georgia, slightly modified … Continue reading TNF Endurance Challenge Georgia – 2013
6 mi. This week I had to scoot to john's cross country meet early, like arrive in Boca Raton at 7:30 - 8:00 to take pics for the team. John was taking the ACT exam, so I crafted a plan to run in downtown WPB then head south to the CC meet. I would get … Continue reading Koach Kara
