26.37 mi. Keep thinking all week that something special will happen weather-wise, even though all reports on every website say TOO WARM TO DO WELL! They stated 860+ full marathoners and 4500 total racers, this event is growing deservedly so. I left home at 3:45am with Walter, drove to the usual $5 parking lot East of … Continue reading A1A Marathon 2012

Pine Mountain Ga. Oct 15th The flight up was uneventful. I felt my strategy of taking “less than a newbie” was a good one, so all I brought fit into a carry on. Same for Suzanne, although only staying for two nights, she put enough thought into what she really needed and packed accordingly. Rental … Continue reading North Face Endurance Challenge 50 mile race.
17.5 mi. The Wednesday ride route with Suzanne was very breezy today. I had installed her original Felt wheelset last night, the skewer borrowed from the Cosmic set I Have at home with a rear flat from the Lake Worth tri. Wind was from the East/Southeast. The flags on A1A south were pointing as if … Continue reading The flags do not lie
7.5mi I cut the cooldown to one parking lot lap, I felt as if my bridge laps were slow so I needed to get back for John. I brought my new 110% calf sleeves with the ice inserts. Paul asked why I was wearing stockings, he'd never do it but his daughter and Greg Bennet … Continue reading Good hills w/Walter and a breeze.
approx 7-8 mi. I drove to Dyer park and Suzanne rode the mountain bike around the outskirts of the park as I looked to test out the Nathan Endurance hydro pack and Saucony Pro Grid Peregine run shoes. Good results on both products. We parked at the mini remote control airstrip, ran the western edge … Continue reading Sunday trail run
4 mi. I couldn't stay for the cooldown, John's back in class. I knew I wanted to run "in the middle" and Paul gave us a mile for time in a surprise move to most. My mile was 6:01, ran on Erica's shoulder all the way around. I felt very good laps 3 & 4 … Continue reading Middle speed
8 mi. I was alone for the warmup and cooldown, still air both ways on the bridge this morning. I brought my demo Lululemon glasses from the fashion show to the run, on a dare from Chelsea of course. I did run a few laps with them, Justin and Tiffany Moe also came to run … Continue reading Switch on and off
6 mi. My plan was big, my implementation and courage was weak. The idea was NOT to attend track workout in favor of doing stairs galore at PBG High School. I woke up a few minutes later than usual, did exercises, then drove to the school. I couldn't find a parking place, the lights were on … Continue reading Don’t bother
This was a gamble, training exercise slated for Palm Beach - based at the intersection of the Atlantic Ocean and Worth Avenue. The local Palm Beach police aren't usually keen to having anything "out of the ordinary" occur on their watch. Shirtless people scampering down the Worth Ave straightaway is not on their things to … Continue reading Stealthman 3
44mi. After yesterday's long run, today was a ride with Suzanne to Boca Raton and the Doghouse Cyclery. Jennifer Vogel, husband Lane and Scott D'Angelo, owner were hosting a run and Q&A session. They billed it as a 5 or 10k run social with the Badwater finishers, Lane and Jenn. It was interesting to speak … Continue reading To the Doghouse!
