4 mi. Track workout! Favorable conditions of 76 deg temps brought a bunch of people out I haven't seen in awhile. Adrienne and Lynn Mullins, they were at the bridge and now this, too. I arrived early, my thoughts lately have been why am I showing up, but I know it's good to stay engaged … Continue reading Like a dog running through tall grass

18mi. I ran early, 5:30am around the duck pond to start this Saturday's long effort. I'm racing next weekend so I don't need too many miles, but anything below fatigue will be great.

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
