16mi. Knowing my long run for A1A Marathon is the Miami Marathon, I don't have too many weeks to pull out a better effort than just a long Saturday run. I have upped the difficulty level by doing the speed in the Saturday workouts. This needs to be a good effort. Megan said she'd run … Continue reading Time to work hard

4 mi. I heard the palm trees slapping against the house and wind blowing, almost like Tuesday morning I considered how I might skip the run and do it myself. Not today, there's Krankit Kore after work with John. Get out of bed and head to the track. This morning was warmed than the last … Continue reading Run with them
10.5 miles This morning I wanted to do Erica's workout since it had progressively more difficult speed intervals at the end. We met at the store at 6a, Everyone must have thought it was to be cold out - I saw long sleeves, run tights, 3/4 crop pants, plenty of hats and not many bare … Continue reading Speed with the distance
10mi. Palm Beach on Christmas Day - a great idea for a run. John and I easily made the drive to the center of WPB on completely empty roads. I guess this was a first. not having to open the gifts before anything else. John and I both thought this would be a good idea … Continue reading The Christmas Run
45 mi. Nobody likes to hear that sound. It's the crunching of metal, carbon and a thump of someone going down. I always say, a fully grown adult that comes out once a week makes a special sound when they hit the ground. It's ugly and sad, and sobering because I hope it's never me. … Continue reading Merry… Uh oh!
My first adventure for Palm Beach Marathon 2013 was to work at the Pacer Booth. Whoever had been there before us must have put our box full of goodies behind the counter and under a drape sheet because we didn’t know was there. We scrambled to find some pens and printer paper to allow folks … Continue reading Palm Beach Marathon and Run Fest 2013
4mi. 1800+ registered runners of ALL ages. 900 pies for finishers. Medals to all participants. Long ahead in the future, people will look back and ask how an event this cool was so much to so many people. It is a great race! John and I arrived just before 6:30am, in time for a good … Continue reading Run 4 the Pies
2000 yards My first significant swim in a month! I felt ok, other than the googles were on strangualtion mode as far as my eyes could tell. Breathing was good, my time was slow but I didn't hate the experience. I do like the look I get from using the non-run muscles on my upper … Continue reading Leftover laps
6 mi. Today instead of riding, John and I went to Loggerhead park to run with Erica and Walter. We set it up last night while at dinner, we'd agreed to meet and start at 7am. John surprised me, I thought he would bail out and sleep. The cyclists, not many of them, were meeting … Continue reading More of what yesterday brought.
10 mi. I had a 20 miler or at least 16 planned, in my head. A company dinner Friday night at ER Bradleys was well done, I had eaten well, too. Smokey chicken and pasta for lunch, more penne a la vodka for dinner. The night included some drinks with dinner, some shots with franchisees … Continue reading Back to a normal sense of, no wait…
