8 mi. Boston is in two weeks. I have not trained with Erica hard on weekends nor have I pressed myself on my own runs. I will keep a healthy schedule between now and the marathon, in hopes good weather and nutrition plus a boost from the fans and all give me strength. Today I … Continue reading Blown into the reality of it all.

4-5 miles - John and I landed at noon in Denver for a week in the mountains. He is finishing up his track season, with a few meets ahead that lead to local champoinships. I have the Boston Marathon in four weeks. We can't blank-out for a whole week of running. Mike, our host for … Continue reading Denver south and the hills!
This year's race looked to be perfect weather for anyone traveling up from Florida. Even before the 10 day forecast could reach April 15th, it was apparent that the temps would not be too warm or too cold. Only precipitation could mess up what looked to be a wonderful day to run. I flew Sunday … Continue reading Boston Marathon 2013 – The race to the finish line
My race ended in grand fashion. I experienced wonderful running weather, tremendous crowd support and a goal time achieved. I had several friends also participating in the race, each running their own version of the famed Boston Marathon. If you haven't been to the race, I can offer an explanation of what many videos and … Continue reading Boston Marathon, beyond the finish line

It was 56 degrees and a good sustained wind directly form the west. I wore a t-shirt and my finger gloves, my first lap over the … Continue reading CSI Riviera Beach
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.
