8mi. Back in time to see the sunrise, I took a long time running the bridge today. A bathroom break, water stops, this was a slow bunch of hill laps. I ran alone for the first two, with Kyle Smith for the next two, then weaving around those that showed up at 5:30am for my … Continue reading Nicer weather, lighter mornings are here.

7.5 mi Bridge running is sometimes biased in that tere is no breeze heading one direction, and the other way is a relif. This morning was a mildest of relief breezes, I was hot even doing the 1 mile warmup. Charlotte came near the end of Lap #1, Scott Hicks came near the middle of … Continue reading No cool laps today
8mi. Daylight savings now keeps it dark the whole run. I had Charlotte as some company and a few others came to play in cool 67 deg weather. I'll be begging for this in a month!
7 mi. I came at the regular time to do the regular routine. The first few steps in the parking lot were the slowest shuffle I could muster. It didn't hurt my legs, but everything was slow going. After two laps I met Gail, a new runner to the area from NC. That was good … Continue reading Recovering on the hills
8mi. After running in very favorable conditions, I thought some about the Hanson Distance Project's philosophy that you train hard as if it were your final miles of a race. The weather was 68 degrees. I ran alone for all of my laps, only a few other runners were there even when I left. carolyn … Continue reading Hills like the last 6 mi of a race
8 mi. I arrived at 4:50am to run, right when it started to rain pretty hard, and with a wind from the East at 15mph, it was tough to get out of the car. Temp was 66, I tried opening to door once, rain and wind flew right in. I took off my shirt and … Continue reading Don’t shy from the rain.
8 mi. I arrived at just before 5am, most of the moon was out and bright. It was a deceptive 61 degrees at my house when I left, and 67 degrees at the Phil Foster Parking lot. I really had to think about this run, I felt apprehensive like I had an early morning flight. … Continue reading The moon and the bridge
7 mi. I skipped the cooldown, but really enjoyed the results of running 6 bridge miles so soon after the MiamiMan tri. It was great, first two miles were slow and sore, but my stride opened later and I knew I was doing my legs good. I wore new compression recovery socks to work, that … Continue reading That first post race run
8mi. It was worth waking and driving to the bridge today. Slim attendance means most are done with their big race or heading to NY Marathon this weekend. I enjoyed a good breeze from the east and found welcome cooler weather to run alone in. I find the days that seem lackluster in the process … Continue reading Worth it
7mi. A warmup mile with Walter and then 5 with Charlotte and Walter, it's good to have people with interesting stories and things to talk with again at the bridge. I ran slow, it was windy, 12 mph from the east and humid. No cooldown to get home in time for John. I know it's … Continue reading They’re back!
