8mi. I got there in time to catch Walter waiting for Dave Reback to circle the parking lot. We did a perky speed warmup followed by two quick bridge laps before Dave R. went his own pace and Walter and I discussed work and stuff. It was hot at the start, only a small breeze … Continue reading Hot again on the hills

7 mi. No cool down for me, I wanted to be back in time to make John's lunch and not rush through the morning process. Charlotte showed up in time to run 5 of my 6 laps with me, Walter got there very early and was on lap 4 when I started! It was cool … Continue reading Cool maybe for the last time
7mi. A trip to Moe Monday last night left me full and bloated for the first bridge run I've done in months. I ran initially alone for the warmup, then found Charlotte for the 6 miles of up and down. It was 80 degrees and I'm happy to say, tough. Happy because I won't eat … Continue reading Don’t eat all of that
8 mi. Really I did 6 miles on the sidewalk, with a warmup mile and cool down mile to make 8 for the workout. It was 68 degrees at the start, with a nice cooler breeze from the west. One lane of car traffic was limited in each direction, so now we have less to … Continue reading 8 on the sidewalk
8 mi. I arrived at just before 5am, most of the moon was out and bright. It was a deceptive 61 degrees at my house when I left, and 67 degrees at the Phil Foster Parking lot. I really had to think about this run, I felt apprehensive like I had an early morning flight. … Continue reading The moon and the bridge
8mi. It was worth waking and driving to the bridge today. Slim attendance means most are done with their big race or heading to NY Marathon this weekend. I enjoyed a good breeze from the east and found welcome cooler weather to run alone in. I find the days that seem lackluster in the process … Continue reading Worth it
8 mi. I ran my warmup and first lap solo, then laps 2-5 with Kyle Smith. We spoke about his experience in his first Chicago marathon, besting his previous PR of 3:40 something to a 3:19. I did the final lap almost alone as a larger group of guys led the way over the top … Continue reading Chicago review
7.5 mi. A warmup mile, a lap solo, then 5 more with Scott. Then temps were ow 70s, there was much less humidity and I ran well up and down, keeping my fastest pace for the last two laps. My men's room visit cost me the final lap of cooldown. This is an abbreviated week … Continue reading Hills are better in the cool weather
8 mi. I ran today with John Reback, all six laps spent talking about current events, local real estate, joking around and of course triathlon. It was nice to hear how his sister will try to qualify for our Olympic Team in London 2012. My pace was good and I enjoyed getting to listen to … Continue reading 6 laps to learn
