5 mi - The Blue Heron Bridge run is a place where you can't bluff your level of fitness. I proved this again today. The Riviera Beach Police were at the entrance to Phil Foster Park just before 5 am to tell myself and any others the the park is closed and will open at … Continue reading My turn: Go low

From the new Wawa on 45th Street This type of run right after a race is important to me. My experience has shown that getting to use the well-toiled muscles from the race makes the rest of the week much easier to handle. I'm still sore in places I should be, but it lessens the … Continue reading Crumbs run
8 mi. Today was a return to the Blue Heron Bridge. It wasn’t by design, but I seem to have positioned three challenging hill workouts all in the same week. Two days ago our group went to Jensen Beach. We have a 4 mile route on Skyline Drive that includes rolling hills and one steep … Continue reading Working up and up.
15 miles. A Tuesday morning run turns into a big effort for half marathon training. I don't remember doing a workout like this even for a full marathon. Today I did 3 miles of warmup, with two up and down the bridge. Then we started the one mile intervals at "goal pace." My goal is … Continue reading Galen Rupp’s workout?
5mi. Today was an important workout. The how-to recover from a marathon for me includes doing this Tuesday run to loosen up whatever was stiff and creaky, vs. allow my legs to be bound up for the rest of the week. I did receive an IV after the race, which restores lost fluids in a … Continue reading Bridge after race (again!)
8miles. Tuesday mornings, I am usually running up and down the Blue Heron Bridge. As of late, I began doing the Hanson's program recommended strength workout for Advanced Half Marathon. Which was 800m, 1000m, 1200m, the one mile repeats. Each was to be done at 5k pace. I set my watch to count off the … Continue reading Garmin goofing
7.5 miles Is this what I was supposed to see this morning? I did catch views of the moon before it went into the clouds and then behind the large colorful building next to the bridge. I arrived a few minutes later, no love from the traffic lights on Blue Heron Boulevard I guess. I … Continue reading Blue moon recovery run
8mi. It's not often I'm first at Blue Heon Bridge, but however, the traffic lights aligned - I was alone at 4:46 am in the parking lot. I ran a warmup lap by myself. My car said 69 degrees, leaving my house the weather app said 64 degrees. This is common, it's warmer by the … Continue reading Breeze minus 10
8 miles. Last week I skipped the sprints, so it happened today. I ran the first 5 with John Reback, he is healing from the Achilles issue. Good enough to run in front of me or zip me from behind on each one. There wasn't much of a wind, unlike the last few weeks. Maureen, Mary … Continue reading Chasing at sprints
This workout will never get any easier, it will only get faster.
