8mi. I don't get to cruise all 6 miles of hills with John often, so it was neat to discuss his USAT Nats race and then do the last 3 laps listening to Matt Kakuk explain his bike woes. Tires, rims, and all that come with it. We kept a good pace, stayed cool in … Continue reading Pro escort

7.5 mi. It has been a very long time, years, since I did a Blue Heron bridge run completely alone. Maybe a windy, rainy day before a hurricane? Today wasn't looking as if I'd be alone, Megan said she was coming via text and then changed her mind shortly thereafter. John Reback came first, once … Continue reading Almost alone
8mi. A great morning for mid May running. It was 73 degrees, cool for the traditionally hot "out of winter" season. There was a breeze coming out of the southwest, accompanied by many storms that were off the east coast. Apparently several runners had plenty of rain at their homes overnight - all I saw … Continue reading Breezes, bridges and banter
6.5 mi. This is my signature as of late. Do a marathon, show up and run the bridge like it was nothing. It has been a full year since I started using Protandim. I have seen truly remarkable recovery since 3 weeks after beginning it's use. I know my body, I keep a good schedule, … Continue reading Benchmark
7mi. I woke up at 3:55am to thunder and lightning outside. Maybe, just maybe, I'd be lucky enough for the rain to cancel me out. A meetup last night with Sharon had me home late and tired with a teeny bit of sleep, so rain would have been welcomed. Thanks to my radar app, I … Continue reading Beat the storm
7.5mi I was first on the scene, followed closely by Paul. The Harbormaster's office is a polling place, so we spoke about the election while we watched the setup and line of voters begin to form. The air was crisp, not much of a breeze, with temps in the high 60s. This is good running … Continue reading Share the road
8 mi. I arrived on time, only to find Paul had already been there and spun a warmup lap in the parking lot already. I ran one of those with him, then the first two laps I did by myself. I ran the remainder of the hills with Seth Kaufman, who was interested in the … Continue reading Good yapping up the hills
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
7.5 mi I did bridge running today, Chiara was there, Paul, Carolyn and Scott, and maybe 4 others. It was cool from the East, about 74 degrees for the whole run. New Daylight Savings meant it was dark the whole time with no hint of the sunrise before I drove home. I felt more uncomfortable … Continue reading First day of EDT hills
7 mi. I skipped the cool down laps, my newer Aasics Gel Kayanos felt somewhat tight on my left forefoot. Like the tingling feeling I got on that foot for the 50 miler. I ran with Walter, good average speed, nice breeze and a quick over all finish time. Paul was running, Kyle Smith, Randi, … Continue reading Good effort = more gas in the tank.
