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
1.5 hrs I met Ellie and Dave Anderson at JD State Park to plod thru the sand. They know the trails well, and since I took a slef imposed break form riding there due to the sandy conditions, I'd need them. We did familiar trails in an unfamiliar pattern, having me learn about the park … Continue reading Last ride for “oh-ten”
26.2 mi. Our best weather yet for the seventh Palm Beach Marathon, this year we were introduced to a new course. The route took us north for the first 1.5 miles, south again past the start/finish line area, and south to Manalapan towards the Ritz Carlton Hotel. I brought Shelley Thompson and Heather Smith with … Continue reading Palm Beach Marathon Festival 2010
4 mi. No cooldown this week, time to dash home and get John ready for the school drive. I went way faster than I intended today, post race + 3 days. The workout favored short intervals and thankfully didn't have a timed mile, so I did well. I have to get through the breathing holds … Continue reading Put it down before I’m ready.
7 mi. I skipped the cooldown, but really enjoyed the results of running 6 bridge miles so soon after the MiamiMan tri. It was great, first two miles were slow and sore, but my stride opened later and I knew I was doing my legs good. I wore new compression recovery socks to work, that … Continue reading That first post race run
What a day and what a race! Great conditions yielded my best day combining the three disciplines, a 5:04 time. Swimming was 2-3 minutes better than last year, with the swim transition in a better spot for the bikes. People helped me out of my wetsuit this year, that was a luxury. I started the … Continue reading MiamiMan Triathlon 2010
5 mi. I had all intentions of lying back and coasting thu the track workout today... and I did. I ran with Perry, who was off a good 1/2 Marathon the week prior. I remember thinking if Paul asks for a mile for time it will be my slowest mile ever recorded! I feel good, … Continue reading Socially showing up for a good one.
2000 yards. Let me say this loud, the wetsuit is a HUGE advantage! Full arms over sleeveless, yes, that too. Adrianna lent me hers, the fit is good and it looks fast. I have to spend more time getting the material up on the legs and arms, it pulls hard on the shoulders if you … Continue reading Wetsuit Practice!
20 mi. I did a loop around Singer Island, primarily to check on the bike newly serviced by Big Wheel Cycles. It works great, the levers are tight, the shifters are tight, it's ready for the race! A wind made early speeds of 23-25 turn into a 20.4 mph average, but that's fine for a … Continue reading Spin while I can
