2000 yards. Before I trick myself into thinking I'm getting good, I have to really start kicking as a part of the workouts. So the workout delivered the requirements, kicking as part of every piece of the main set. Perfect weather, no rush, and my final day at Lake Lytal pool for a month while … Continue reading Add it in now

2000 yards. Recovery also happens in the pool! A friendly workout that allowed me to not kick but relax my legs to a light flutter was very welcomed. A very good day, water cooler than usual but easy to adjust to, it makes the drive to and from the pool easier to accept. I really … Continue reading Even the water helps
7 mi. I came at the regular time to do the regular routine. The first few steps in the parking lot were the slowest shuffle I could muster. It didn't hurt my legs, but everything was slow going. After two laps I met Gail, a new runner to the area from NC. That was good … Continue reading Recovering on the hills
26.2 mi. This was year 6 for the A1A race, I erroneously posted year 7 on Facebook. I had heard it was going to be a warm day to run, but in previous years I'd known it to be warmer, so I wasn't concerned about that. If all went well as I planned and trained … Continue reading A1A Marathon 2011
4 mi. Today was a lay back and show up track workout. I just want to approach this Sunday's A1A marathon with the freshest set of legs possible. I'll eat well for the next few days, hydrate, and not look to press the speed in the morning workout. Paul knew most were there and doing … Continue reading Right before the fray
2000 yards. With iPhone out of commission for the second consecutive swim, I just did 10 x 200 yards. It was a wonderful weather day, Walter did not join me for this. My goggles need a refurb, tehy fog way too easily now.
4mi. So just leave the front door and time a 2 mile out and back sprint? This was fun the last two weeks in lieu of the bridge run, and I believe this familiarization with the breathing and lungs necessary to do well in a 5k like event. I did 26:01 this week, negative split … Continue reading A new piece of speed
2000 yards. I figured a self imposed 5 x 400yards would be a good workout in the way left lanes, over by the water slide. Walter came and did 1650 yards. The water and air temps are about the same. I love that. My toes cramped while trying to kick 100 with big fins on, … Continue reading Make it up yourself
5 mi. I woke up at 3:49am, thought the alarm didn't fire off, so I got right up, did pushups, situps, and drove to the track. Arriving in an empty lot, I really questioned what day it was. I looked at my watch and saw 4:21, a full hour earlier than the whole workout starts … Continue reading 60 minutes more
2000 yards. 75 degrees out of the water, 80 degrees in the pool. I love getting the, "I'm not cold going in the pool" feeling. My breathing hold the air to exhale as long as possible feels more natural. I cramped in my toes trying the last 100 kick with long fins. True I had … Continue reading In good weather or in better weather.
