20 miles. I don't get many Mondays off she the rest of the working world is at it. I decided that since my weekend was spent in transit to and from Tampa, today would be my long run. The 3 weeks from your marathon long run everyone is supposed to do. I drove to Loggerhead … Continue reading Taking the day as an opportunity.

10.5 mi. I figured I could still go with the "I did an Ironman 2 weeks ago" thing and have an easy Saturday social run. I arrived before 6am, listened to Linda greet the group, and ran with Dave Capparelli. I told him about the Switzerland trip, he told me about his new condo purchase … Continue reading Not so fast.
17 miles. At John's request, we ran 17 miles on a day when most of my friends rode 50 miles. John was inspired by Joe Ponton's "40 miles on his 40th birthday" story. I'd imagine most of my friends would think that this was my idea - geting John to try endurance running. Nope! All … Continue reading 17!
16 mi. Most of the locals were racing the 37th Shamrock 10 miler or 5k. This left a diluted group to run the usual store route on a Saturday morning. I came ready for a perky, fast-paced distance run at 5am, running mile #1 in 7:40. Then I picked up the pace to below 7 … Continue reading Dilution makes for special moments
4.5 mi. I don't have to cancel out of runs often, but today was a winner. I started with Lanae at 5:00 from the store, looking to do 16 miles. Once we turned on A1A heading south we met and passed Carol Hahn and Laura, her friend from Wellington. Lanae stopped for a bathroom break … Continue reading Rain delay
20mi. When you arrive at 4:15 in a driving rainstorm, you know it's a special day to run. Walter came moments later, and it was raining and thundering so hard I didn't put down the window to speak to him, I called him instead. We stepped out and no reprieve, we were drenched immediately. The … Continue reading Legends Only
26mi. Starting at 9am is a luxury for me, I know only early times for most of my workouts. I met Chiara at her house to start. We rode the bumpy and under construction A1A route off Singer Island, up to US-1, north to A1A again and then to the inlet turnaround. It was a … Continue reading Last ride of the year
10 miles. It is an unlikely day when I'm doing this many miles after work, but the chance came - so go. Chiara and Walter were planning this, I did not run at the bridge early this morning so it was ripe for me to makeup the time on my feet from a lackluster mileage … Continue reading 10 @ 7
12.5 mi. And for my first long run of the year, allow me to start at 1:00pm and bring no running for the past few days to the table! I met Chiara, Stanton and Charlotte at Loggerhead Park, they were very prompt and ready to go. I wore a tank top, and at the last … Continue reading Exposure
31mi. This was my ultra distance training run that will suffice as a long run for the MiamiMan Tri. It is NOT on any training plan that I've heard of, but 5.5 hrs on any course prying against the body's creakiness is good training for the race. Charlotte said she hadn't done a long run … Continue reading Long run in a long time!
