8mi. It's every two weeks that I choose to do uphill sprints for the final three miles of my bridge run. Well, the downhills count, also, so it's 1 mile of warmup, 3 miles of regular hill running, and 6 sprints up with recovery jog coming back down. This was the day to do it! … Continue reading Made for me

7mi. I am not feeling cold as I arrive, temp was 55 at home and now 58 at the bridge. Only Paul is there, he chats a bit about an upcoming 10k he's doing this weekend. We also spoke about Erica winning the Race For The Cure. Both Jens show up at the same time, … Continue reading SLEEVES!
7mi. Arriving about 5 minutes late due to unreasonable traffic lights all the way to the bridge, I was met with John stretching in the street. He's never there befoe me! A few of the girls were in the parking lot, stating they already ran the warmup mile and were ready to hit the hill. … Continue reading Be Quick or miss out
8mi. John joins me today on his first college break. We do the whole work out for the second week in a row. He is happy to not be running in JAX 30 degree weather. I am happy to be running and talking with him!
8mi I ran the warmup 1st lap alone, second was with Paul. For the first four bridges, I stayed with Megan and Missy, yapping about all of the local 5k races that are seemingly every weekend in our area. Megan won the last 5k in Carlin Park on Saturday, with a 19:35 time. I'd consider … Continue reading Someone else’s recovery day
7.5 mi Half a cooldown run with Walter made an ordinarily 8 mile run 7.5. My footbed on the left shoe was a bit annoyed with the hills in the Gel Kayanos, not sure why, I've used them before and no ill effects came about as of Saturday's 10 miler. This run was good, breezy … Continue reading BBR (Bridge before race)
7.5 mi. Good weather, a small breeze made for a shirtless 6 laps done faster than I have in a while. Kyle Smith joined me for a lap, otherwise I was solo for the rest. I ran a cooldown with Meredith Kramer. Mix1 in the car waiting for my completion, I had a good feeling … Continue reading Better effort going up.
8mi. I didn't plan on seeing too many people at the bridge today, but when I sent txt messages to Walter, Chelsea and Angie, they all said it was on their Tuesday plan. Chelsea and Angie had to run earlier than 5 (???) because of their holiday extended hours at the store and re-merchandising that … Continue reading Breezy and early start
7mi. No time or desire to do a cooldown, my ankle was feeling the effects of Saturday's 10 miler and now this. Knowing PB marathon is days away, I ran shirtless in 66 deg weather. By prediction, this is 2 degrees cooler than Sunday's race start. I was alone for all 6 hill miles, … Continue reading Pre race
12 mi Having taken the weekend off, it was time to get back into more leg busting exercises. A mile warmup, 10 miles back and forth on the blue heron bridge, and a mile cooldown was the deed. Walter came early at 5 and did the first 6 miles with me, I did the final … Continue reading 10 formatted as hills
