16 mi. First day running with a new generation Garmin vs the Timex Garmin relic I had stopped using years ago. I didn't look at the instructions, just charged it and wore it. I guess I have to get the settings correct and establish a Garmin Connect account. I ran early with Adrienne Papa, Steve … Continue reading 16 – get in line.

5 mi. Paul mixed up the workout intervals some today, never letting us go too long. Between myself, Erica (back from 3 mos off with injury) and Perry, no one knew what was coming next. 1 mi warmup 100m w/100m recovery 200m w/100m recovery 300m w/100m recovery 500m w/200m recovery 600m w/200m recovery 400m w/200m … Continue reading A unpredictable set, even for the experts.
3/8mi, 13mi, 5k This was a good outing, the threat of a tropical storm interfering with the race faded as the race date drew closer. The pre-race show Friday night was in its usual cramped Jupiter Resort ballroom. I got a neat Tri Running Sports hat from Linda to wear on the run - very … Continue reading Loggerhead Triathlon ’11
20mi. I met Adrienne at her home in San Michele, pumped up my tire and joined in the group of seven riding this am. Lanae Barnes, Lilia, Erica, Teresa and two guys I don't know went thru PGA and Mirasol to total 20 miles at a 20-22mph pace. Good ride, and I arrive home quickly … Continue reading 20 bonus mile ride
4 mi. I didn't do the cool down because I rode 20 with the girl group and didn't want to start out late. Low attendance, maybe for Loggerhead tapering, who knows? It was hot and still, I ran very conservatively slow. Here's the workout from Paul, who is heading to London to watch his daughter … Continue reading Pre race spin around
8mi. Is it really posible that there be NO breeze at all so close to the sea? I was the first person at the bridge, thankfully I only had to run one lap alone before Kyle Smith joined me for 2-6. He pressed hard on the back side of laps 5 & 6. My legs … Continue reading Still
30mi. The idea was to go only 30 miles but to spin one gear lower than where I belonged. I left at the same time as the group but allowed the mass to get further ahead of me. I stayed behind with no pull, we were riding with the wind up the Island. I stayed … Continue reading Short recovery 30
30 mi. Charlotte had planned to run the SF marathon since the MBA acceptance went through. Thinking she'd already be living on the west coast, her trip to and from Florida wasn't something anyone thought would happen. As had happened when I ran in Boston, Charlotte woke up very early, under everyone else's radar, and … Continue reading The Juno-Francisco Marathon
5mi. We don't get a mile for time assigned often, those are every 5-6 weeks apart. We even less get to do two timed miles in the same workout - that was today. We started with innocent 200m intervals, then a mile at what Paul billed as 80%. I ran with Tom Matese for a … Continue reading The double mile day.
30 mi. Chiara set the idea in my head - "Let's ride after work..." Thinking I'd have a good chance at doing that, I agreed. As the day progressed, she found she couldn't do the ride at 5:30, then at 6:30, then at all. I was at this time, ready to go. I drove home, … Continue reading I’ll do it myself anyway
