5 mi. Today was a track workout. Our weather was good with a cool breeze coming out of the east. I did a slow warmup on Grandiflora Ave, my right side hip and glute area was not feeling right - too tight and slight soreness until I was warmed up. It felt good while running, … Continue reading Five and tree quarters

6 miles The other end of switching the Hanson's workouts was the one I figured would be a good fit - running fast on the track. This is the first week of school, so we were not sure when the security would be opening the gates for us. I arrived at 5:30 am to warmup, … Continue reading The Hanson’s Intervals at track
5mi. There will be a time when I can't run on a private track, shower on premise, and walk barefoot across perfectly manicured fairway-grade lawn to stretch out my toes. But that's not today! I have been in marathon training for months. That means plenty of runs, never that fast, but no true speed or … Continue reading Marathon vs 5k
5 mi. Today was a good, cool morning. Only a few at the track run, I followed speedy Seth for the intervals. It's the last Daylight Standard time with a hint of light at the end of the intervals, next week is back to all running in the dark... 1 mile warmup jog 100m w/100m recovery … Continue reading Stay focused in the dark
6 miles We get to the high school earlier than 6 am now, the new "plan" is to arrive at 5:45 am, park near the entrance gate, and do the warmup jog on Alton. That worked today, I ran with Gary and Seth for a little over a mile. When the guard arrived (a tad … Continue reading Is it 6 am yet?
5 miles - Today I wore John's track spike shoes to the workout. We watched the IAAF London World Championships, taking place in the rain. I wondered what that would be like, John reminded me he had his spikes in the closet - so why not try that route. This was my first time running with … Continue reading Track with spikes

5mi. When I show up at track workout and haven't been for three weeks, it feels like I have a big weight around my belt. Everyone is running fast and I'm breathing considerably hard to get this done and stay where I belong. Attila, fresh off his 19:01 5k in NYC and Aldo are who … Continue reading Miss Ya Thrice
6.5mi - A cool morning with a sunrise that makes people feel they are late for work. And a timed mile interval, which I hadn't done in months. I thought I was slowing, I haven't run with any person or grop consistently at the track so that lack of "competition" leads me to think I … Continue reading Who knew?
4 mi. I met Erica early and we did the warmup a tad faster than most. We ran and talked with Tom Matese, his son did a 17:12 in the state championship last week! Erica's workout was to do twelve 400m repeats at 1:35 pace. We did the first one in 1:38, and every other … Continue reading I’ll take a dozen 400s to go.
