50 mi/2 mi run - Leaving the TRS store at 5am, Erica and I saw a few people gathering to run early today. I haven't done one of those in awhile, I guess I'll have to pickup LSD runs in JUne. Right now the empahsis is on time in the saddle. I wore the Garneau … Continue reading Bite the breeze

3mi run/50mi bike. Erica, cleared to run more than the 10 minutes last weekend gave her, wanted to meet at 6am, run 25 minutes and then ride to Sandsprit Park. I planned on riding from my house and then doing another longer ride Sunday, but why not, I'll try this workout. She wanted to swim … Continue reading Mix up more and I’ll do it.
10 miles - I did Erica's prescribed workout today in 55 degree cool weather. We started at 5:15am with threee sets of 8:00/7:30/7:00 miles, repeated three times. The final mile was to be hard with whatever we had left to offer. Artfest By The Sea was setup along A1A which meant the potential for obstacles … Continue reading Ten by threes
4 mi. Erica had been assigned 12 400m dashes by Stan, her coach. I said I'd do them with her, why not. The rest of the group was on Paul's schedule. We alternated directions and tried to put ourseves safely among them during our 400m intervals. It worked, only once did we have an issue … Continue reading On Stan’s Plan
4 mi. A cooler than I expected morning meant I wore my heaviest grade cotton short sleeved t-shirt. I met Erica at her car, thankfully she confirmed, it was not a regular warm day. Sometimes the tree-surrounded Reback Track & Field is cooler than its surroundings! Paul called out a "nobody could've guessed it" set … Continue reading A token showing
4mi. It was 61 degrees when I pulled into the parking lot. I took a nice iPhone picture of the Reback Track & Field sign, it is now well lit because of the new lights that make the parking lot look like daytime! Paul and John were joking back and forth about barefoot running, citing … Continue reading Different but that’s ok
4 mi. No cooldown time today, but with Erica running the workout, our shortest interval was a 400m. I decided to lay off the track speed today, it doesn't feel like I've done 30 miles less than a week ago but it's definitely not forgotten by my legs. I ran behind Gary Walk most intervals, … Continue reading Track on moderate level
5 mi I was able to stay and cool down this week - no taking John to school. With Paul in Rio on a cruise vacation, Erica led the day. 800m w/200m recovery 400m w/200m recovery 200m w/200m recovery 1000m w/200m recovery 800m w/200m recovery 400m w/200m recovery 200m w/200m recovery 1000m w/200m recovery
5 mi. Erica takes the workout during Paul's absence - he's at USAT AG Nationals. Erica did not do a "symmetrical" workout, distancing herself and the intervals from the would-be guessers. I encountered hard rain under the PGA bridge of 95 on Military Trail. I told everyone about it, but I was pushed aside as … Continue reading Go red go.
