8mi. First time in a long time I run the bridge the whole way. That's a mile of warmup, a mile of cooldown, and six miles of hills. It's cool out today, I run a few laps alone and a few with John Reback, before he peels off and does faster repeats with Matt K. … Continue reading An honest one
Tag: A1A Marathon
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
8 mi. Having flown in from Sydney all of yesterday, I didn't know what I'd have ready for a workout. I purposely didn't set my alarm, figuring if I need the sleep I'd take it, if I woke up in time I'd run, whatever happens, happens. I woke up at 2:30am completely done with sleeping. … Continue reading It feels so late?
100mi. I didn't leave the house thinking it was going to be a century ride. I thought after the Hangover 100 on Wednesday that I'd like to (with all of my free time) see more of the south county, A1A, etc. So I called Robin G., maybe she'd be up for doing some of the … Continue reading Tired, wet, dirty, happy
26.37 mi. Keep thinking all week that something special will happen weather-wise, even though all reports on every website say TOO WARM TO DO WELL! They stated 860+ full marathoners and 4500 total racers, this event is growing deservedly so. I left home at 3:45am with Walter, drove to the usual $5 parking lot East of … Continue reading A1A Marathon 2012
4 mi. I skipped on the cooldown mile, and interrupted the first 1000m interval with 150 to go for a bathroom visit. Good mix of thinsg to do, none at a pace any faster than I'll run Sunday - 7:30 or slower. I like that so many people are coming to the A1A Marathon, a … Continue reading Good day for endurance folk
5mi. It's always fun to try and "guess" the workout. A few of us are bold enough to tell others what we think is coming, although we are seldom correct. It's not always symmetrical, it doesn't jive with previous weeks, we really don't know what Paul will offer up week to week. Today we had … Continue reading Like we we knew what was happening
8mi. I didn't plan on seeing too many people at the bridge today, but when I sent txt messages to Walter, Chelsea and Angie, they all said it was on their Tuesday plan. Chelsea and Angie had to run earlier than 5 (???) because of their holiday extended hours at the store and re-merchandising that … Continue reading Breezy and early start
26.2 mi. This was year 6 for the A1A race, I erroneously posted year 7 on Facebook. I had heard it was going to be a warm day to run, but in previous years I'd known it to be warmer, so I wasn't concerned about that. If all went well as I planned and trained … Continue reading A1A Marathon 2011
4 mi. Today was a lay back and show up track workout. I just want to approach this Sunday's A1A marathon with the freshest set of legs possible. I'll eat well for the next few days, hydrate, and not look to press the speed in the morning workout. Paul knew most were there and doing … Continue reading Right before the fray
