2000 yards. I felt better in this workout, I thought about Motivation Man and how long I'd really be in the water. .9 mi. isn't that long, espcially on flat waters like the INtracoastal. Warmup Set (400y) [100 easy, 75 easy-moderate, 50 moderate, 25 moderate-hard] @ 0:15 rest between each interval 150 drill Main … Continue reading Quiet at the pool
2000 yards. A quick jaunt to LA Fitness to do a swim. Lanes were clear, then a water aerobics lady came so I moves to give her the widest lane. It seemed like it took me a long time to get this workout done. Warmup Set (400y) 8 x 50 [25 easy/25 build] @ 0:10 … Continue reading Some fitness at lunch
4 mi. No cooldown today but a close call on missing the warmup. I got stuck at a few more red lights than usual, and I saw the group start as I was jogging in from the parking lot. Ugh! No Walter today, he was at the airport off to see Warren Buffet speak in … Continue reading Zipping along as summer draws near
8 mi. For the begining of May, we don't usually get 70 deg weather and a cool ocean breeze. If this is global warming, then I'm an oil and coal company fan! Walter and I started with Teresa and Chelsea and another former lulu employee guy. We separated on and off for the laps, Adrienne … Continue reading Cooler than we deserve
8 mi. I met Walter at 4:55am on a breezy, 78 degree morning. Chiara was already in the cage ticking off laps. I'm surprised to see that so much of the south wall's turquoise fence has been put up, maybe they're embarrassingly behind schedule and working quick to get one side of the bridge fixed. Fine … Continue reading St Anthony’s finishers and Suzanne, too.
6.5 mi. I ran the trails of Dyer park with Austin. It was warm but with a breeze. We started with a jog from the model airplane strip to the far side of the soccer fields and around to the entrance gate, then a run back into the park. We ran the hill trail last, … Continue reading Trail running on Sunday
5 mi. To make the few that are heading to St. Anthony's do a mile for time was odd, but I'm not one of those. We ran some 400s first, then the mile, followed by more 400s. My mile was 6;11, Walter zipped by on lap 3 and was strong in a 6:03 finish estimated. … Continue reading Pre St. Anthony’s mile
6mi. Running through my neighborhood isn't a new idea. I got so bored of the route I stopped doing it years ago. Putting some breath and pace behind it is what I'll need to pry my way into a newer level of speed. Three times a week out of routine has gotten me here. Now … Continue reading A new idea
16mi. A peak at the radar online would have most bail out on any planned run today... it was green rain and yellow storms across the whole state. I woke up not to the sound of the radio alarm, but to static, I must have blown out the FM station I usually get when I … Continue reading Drizzled
7-8mi. I know when I run in Las Vegas I'll get to see the Strip changing it's diapers. People cleaning, getting signs changed out, or others bumbling home from a night out. I ran form Rio to Twain, under the I-15 to Franck Sinatra and north. I worked my way through the backstreets to the … Continue reading Familiar ground
