8mi. I came and ran the bridge warmup and run all solo. Adrienne and Lilia showed up, as did Kylan and a few others later than I. I t was very humid and still, maybe a relief breeze from the east but not much. I brought and drank water every 2 laps on the hill. … Continue reading Pre Sea Wheeze hill run

7mi. My plan with hill running today was to try the trail running Saucony shoes, but I never remembered to put them out so I wore the questionable Aasics Kayanos. I met Walter a few minutes late and Teresa O found and scared us on the warmup. I ran 5 bridge miles before leaving for … Continue reading Shoe test or not
7 mi. I usually run the bridges on Tuesday, but knowing I have to be hard legged on hills in three weeks. There are no people out that early near Phil Foster park, except for the homeless dudes that live under the bridge and the one lady that sleeps on the sidewalk and serves as … Continue reading Off peak traffic
7.1mi. A trail run following the Stairmaster training went well. My legs were ok to run with, my challenge was low light in the trails that were covered by trees. Suzanne followed on the mountain bike again, I circled the park perimeter and also did the hill. Several years ago the trail on the hill … Continue reading Even in the dark
8 mi. A warmup mile with Walter, then 6 bridge miles and good chatting with Teresa and Walter. Chelsea overslept so no show for her. I ran my final lap with Adrianna, who also did the cooldown mile with me. I saw Carolyn's new car too! The hills felt good, especially going down. Conditions were … Continue reading Good hills
8mi. Is it really posible that there be NO breeze at all so close to the sea? I was the first person at the bridge, thankfully I only had to run one lap alone before Kyle Smith joined me for 2-6. He pressed hard on the back side of laps 5 & 6. My legs … Continue reading Still
7.5 mi Took my time getting started, I ran only one lap around the parking lot with Walter before Chiara and Charlotte arrived ready to run. This was maybe the first time in a very long time that the four of us came to run the bridge together. It may be the last with Charlotte's … Continue reading Final Four
8mi. There are no lights on the north side of the bridge where we run. Thankfully the construction is done on the north side so it's not a free for all with the traffic. Walter came after my first lap of warmup, and we ran 3 laps with John Reback. I wasn't as slow as … Continue reading I must like the mornings
7.5 mi Bridge running is sometimes biased in that tere is no breeze heading one direction, and the other way is a relif. This morning was a mildest of relief breezes, I was hot even doing the 1 mile warmup. Charlotte came near the end of Lap #1, Scott Hicks came near the middle of … Continue reading No cool laps today
7.5 mi. Arriving it was Walter, Dave Reback and I for the warmup. I was better prepared to start quick, but it did't seem like a big deal today. Very humid out at 5am. Paul was an early riser too, he went his island route warmup. Charlotte arrived in time to do one warmup and … Continue reading Sprinkles too.
