8 mi. I ran my warmup and first lap solo, then laps 2-5 with Kyle Smith. We spoke about his experience in his first Chicago marathon, besting his previous PR of 3:40 something to a 3:19. I did the final lap almost alone as a larger group of guys led the way over the top … Continue reading Chicago review

7.5 mi. A warmup mile, a lap solo, then 5 more with Scott. Then temps were ow 70s, there was much less humidity and I ran well up and down, keeping my fastest pace for the last two laps. My men's room visit cost me the final lap of cooldown. This is an abbreviated week … Continue reading Hills are better in the cool weather
8 mi. I ran today with John Reback, all six laps spent talking about current events, local real estate, joking around and of course triathlon. It was nice to hear how his sister will try to qualify for our Olympic Team in London 2012. My pace was good and I enjoyed getting to listen to … Continue reading 6 laps to learn
7.5 mi. I ran my first three laps in 85 deg heat solo, and spent the final three with Lily F., talking about all the consecutive races she is doing + MiamiMan things. It was good to keep her pace, even though I'm probably not too far off the original level I was running pre … Continue reading Bridge under full moon
8 mi. I did Lap #1 alone, 2 & 3 with Scott, and 3,4,5 alone again. I am getting used to feeling some speed and ability to go hard breathing again. This is good as I draw closer to racing in Lake Worth again at the end of September. I could have used water at … Continue reading More speed voluntarily
8mi. I watched John Reback zoom past me going a a 6 min mile pace, sweat some and had a moment to shower off. And I notice, every morning I come here it's 86 degrees. Lats year, 82. What's happening? I ran the first lap slower than usual, alone. And all the rest of 'em … Continue reading It’s always 86 now for the start?
8mi. Did the usual 5am early arrival on a day with minimal breeze and maximum humidity! I ran with Scott for the first lap, then he said he wanted to go fast for two. I did the climb up half with him and got dropped. A good point was that put my pace higher than … Continue reading Making some ground
8 mi. Start temp was 86, with a generous breeze as usual from the SE. Scott and I ran the first lap together, Chiara and Carolyn started behind us. He wanted to do 4 laps total, with the middle two being fast. I didn't try too hard to keep his pace climbing lap #2, it … Continue reading It could happen in a race.
8mi. Today's run was actually perfect weather for the ride, not as much so for the running. It was so dead still, the sweat began for me on the 1 mile warmup - Chiara and Scott came along for the 5am start. I ran my 6 laps with Scott, who went slow enough thankfully as … Continue reading Bridges count, even when I go slooooow!
8 mi. It was 86 degrees and I could not run fast at all. I did some laps solo, two with Scott and one with a guy I've never met before. I made sure I swam under the bridge with Scott and Carolyn after the run, I was soaked and depleted. The lousy showers in … Continue reading Hotter than I remember!
