8 mi. I arrived at 4:50am to run, right when it started to rain pretty hard, and with a wind from the East at 15mph, it was tough to get out of the car. Temp was 66, I tried opening to door once, rain and wind flew right in. I took off my shirt and … Continue reading Don’t shy from the rain.

2000 yards. I came with Walter, his first Lake Lytal swim, and we were both surprised by the lanes being setup for long course. A strong wind and overcast skies made it easy to finish minus sunscreen. I was very glad the course was 50 yards, it felt good on my arms and chest. Maybe … Continue reading LONG Course!
22.5 mi Starting at 4:30am, Charlotte and I did the Jupiter Island circuit run. I felt warm enough to go shirtless, but mist, fog and a breeze from the Northwest gave me something to think about once we turned around on the island. Coral Cove park restrooms are locked early am. I felt good for … Continue reading Runs of unexpected length ahead.
4 mi Erica was the leader of the group this time, she mixed up the intervals so as not to be outguessed by the group. Oddly, she chose to include me in what was coming before each interval.. She is faster than I've seen her - I stayed close on most runs, but I predict … Continue reading Trying not to be predictable
2000 yards. Another sunny day yields a workout that has me experimenting with the Brenton Ford workout. I used fins for the kicking and enjoyed the 200yard intervals. Back to multiple swims early in the year... Warmup Set (400y) 2 x [4 x 50 @ 1:20] Main Set (1400y) 5 x [50 easy @ 1:15, … Continue reading Two in a week! Yes!
8 mi. I arrived at just before 5am, most of the moon was out and bright. It was a deceptive 61 degrees at my house when I left, and 67 degrees at the Phil Foster Parking lot. I really had to think about this run, I felt apprehensive like I had an early morning flight. … Continue reading The moon and the bridge
12.5 mi. And for my first long run of the year, allow me to start at 1:00pm and bring no running for the past few days to the table! I met Chiara, Stanton and Charlotte at Loggerhead Park, they were very prompt and ready to go. I wore a tank top, and at the last … Continue reading Exposure
4mi. After mentally forging into the sprinkle that began the moment I left my home in the car, I go to the track to find very humid conditions but no more rain. I arrived later than usual but was the third person there, following Walter, Paul and another guy. We started with the usual 1 … Continue reading This needs work
3mi. On a very still and cool morning, I went for my usual Wednesday 20 mile loop around Singer Island. Temps were in the low 60s but out of habit I wore a sleeveless jersey. I considered going back for a regular short sleever once I felt the breeze zinging me through the shoulder sleeve … Continue reading Close call at 5am
7 mi. The first run of the year, an easy 7 miles with a small group on Jan 2 from the Running Sports store. From the sounds of it, some were riding afterwards, some were coming back to the store for champagne. I ran with Carolyn and just yapped about things coming up this year. … Continue reading A Mild Beginning
