8 mi. An eventful bridge run started alone at 4:55am. There was no breeze, I thought I should ride on days like this! I did my first four miles on the bridge alone, seeing only Adrienne and Angie on the sidewalk after 3 laps. To start lap 5, Gary, Eileen and Atilla were beginning their … Continue reading The sky is falling. Not.

8mi. During the 1 mi warmup I was questioning my breathing. Each lap of 6 on the bridge was tough, I felt very lazy and slow. I noticed a difference between good leg and injured side, but no ill effects on the hill. It was humid and dark - the east side of the bridge … Continue reading The:Last:Bridge:Runner
8mi. Joined by Walter, I ran the mile warmup and cooldown and a slow 6 miles of hills. No ill effects from my left calf muscle, which was the hope. I think it was the warmest 5am start ever on the bridge, my car said 86 degrees. It at one point driving there said 89, … Continue reading Bridge Tues
6.5 mi What a surprise, I finished 6.5 of 7 miles and left limping. I arrived alone, ran a mile in the parking lot and felt nothing adverse. Then I ran bridge lap #1 alone, too. I encountered a loudmouth drunk coming down the hill, so when I saw Adrienne and Lisa Reiss staring, I … Continue reading Stung once more
6 mi. Even though I ran my slowest possible Blue Heron Bridge laps ever today, it was good that I covered all the miles and had no ill effects from the recovering left leg. I got there and did not do the warmup mile or the cool down mile. I'd say without an accurate count … Continue reading It counts.
8mi. Good temps and a slight breeze from the east means it's Blue Heron Bridge time again. I am really confident today's run will push my mind back to the more predictable experiences of a sweat, going at a good pace, and seeing more people show up early. Today I was beaten to the run … Continue reading Back to Normal?
8mi. I can see how I'll adjust to the inevitable warming that's overdue for the morning workouts. It was 58 degrees, but windy from the west, so my first lap on the bridge was chilled. I had a tech t-shirt on, so it wasn't that bad. Jon was there, Adrienne and Angie, Randi Garvey, Gary, … Continue reading Faster alone
8mi. This morning was windy and 53 degrees, cooler than I wanted, but after the first lap on the bridge I shed my fleece jacket. Welcome back to the sidewalk, Shelby, it's been awhile! Where was the birthday Char? Also out today were Paul & John Reback, Atilla, Gary, Teresa O. and a friend, Angie … Continue reading Hills again
8mi. I went back to the bridge workout today - either not many people plan on hill training for the Boston Marathon this year or they've found another hill somewhere in Florida, but there aren't a lot of people doing this run lately. I started alone, it was 63 degrees, I swear it's colder in … Continue reading Climbing up again.
