48mi. Second week in a row for this group. Our area has a large number of very fast cyclists. I am not one of them. No different than showing up for a Masters Swim meet, I came again to the Sunday 7:30am ride. Last week we went 32 mph on US-1, post-beer and wine at … Continue reading The B Ride

5mi. We only get this once or twice a year... Two 1600m intervals in the same workout. Paul said this was the workout planned for the rainy Thursday a month ago that I saw on my iPhone radar app and chose to stay home for. Yup, it didn't go away! I ran the first mile … Continue reading Double Miles
5mi. How do I show up for an outdoor track workout and go through the whole thing feeling as if even while running, there is no breeze. Like I was indoors? The blast of full-summer humidity is back, and it gets light very early in the process of covering 3 miles of intervals. I was … Continue reading As still as the indoors
5.75mi. If I didn't opt to sleep through the Blue Heron Bridge workout, I would not have chosen to run a tempo session through PGA National at 5pm in 88 degree direct-sun heat. This is how I repay myself for laziness. I didn't warm up, I went to the beginning of the park and started … Continue reading Penance
8mi. Double up on the hill sprints - I choose this because who wants to run the sprints the week right before a marathon? Not me! I get Jen Q. interested in this idea, she runs the 2 warm up laps with me, then the first 3 miles. And when she sprints up- she does … Continue reading Encouraging pain for others!
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
5mi. Still barely December, still high 70s in the early morning! Marty, Franci, Paul and Seth where the early ones today. Not a large group for the last track speed workout of 2015. Paul said he was sweating after one warmup lap - he later joked that, "The end times are near" since we haven't … Continue reading Last one of the year…
27 miles (?) The 11th running of the Palm Beach marathon was one to remember. I covered the 10am-12pm Sat shift in the Pacer booth. Our booth placement was out of the way – there was a main "horseshoe" shaped collection of vendors that were centered on the grass at the Meyer Amphitheatre, we were … Continue reading 2014 Palm Beach Marathon
5mi. Today was again, like last week, cooler than the weather should be for mid June. 82 and humid is what I should get at track, instead it was 74 degrees. I ran behind Seth, Steve Monks, a new runner named John and the same guy from last week whose name I don't know. Paul … Continue reading Hamstring warms to perform
7 mi. A nice morning to gallop some hill miles, and others agreed! Kacie Herrick was there, Suzanne, Adrienne, Kylan, Steve and Mary, Paul and a few new folks I didn't know. Jen Keyes and Teresa were waiting for me when i arrived, so no warmup run. We ran their 5 laps, water every 2nd … Continue reading Off beat bridge workout
