21 miles - With a scheduled 4:40 am start, who can tell which runners will show up in an electrical storm for the long one. I spoke with a few people mentioning that I was doing a 20 miler today. I said I'd start at 4:40 am, run south to the church on Singer Island, … Continue reading A crowd of runners

20 mi. This was the first twenty mile run of the marathon plan. Due to the Turtleman Triathlon happening on Saturday, I ran Friday morning. This made Saturday my "off" day. I started alone at 5am and ran to St Paul of the Cross Church on Singer Island. That was good - preloading my effort … Continue reading Going longer in the oven
16.5 mi - I started at 5 am with Janet, we ran to PGA and back in between 8:20-8:30 pace. Once back, I met with Erica for what she explained would be a 7:45 pace. We ran behind Rick, Steve Jackson, Seth, Adam, and Mark Aitken. Erica sais she didn't want to keep their pace, … Continue reading On a good track
16 mi. Tom and Janet's second 16-mile run tops out their Hansons-Brooks method schedule for the Chicago marathon prep. We did the last one together, followed by a breakfast at Maureen's house. This time, we will have Mary Monks running some of the miles with us. And breakfast is at Toojay's. We started a little … Continue reading Long run with the Chicago folks
16 mi. It's not a well-recommended plan to donate blood the day before a strenuous run. It does help accelerate the debilitating conditions you experience in distance running, it comes on a bit quicker this way. I arrived at the Dunkin Donuts to setup the flag and sign early enough to start on time at 5 … Continue reading Remember to bleed
10 mi. Tough run to be excited about, last night's concert dehydrated me and left me tired with a four and a half hour sleep. Funny how the intake of fluids can leave you so thirsty and wobbly-headed, right? I ran with a new to Florida runner, Andrea. She and her family moved from Aspen. … Continue reading Slow on Saturday
20mi. I wasn't thinking of running 20 miles today, 16 was going to be enough to do solo. I missed yesterday's run because I was announcing at the Miami Children's Health Foundation 5k. So today I couldn't skip, the NY Marathon is only 6 weeks away. I started alone at Dunkin Donuts at 5:30am. I … Continue reading Forcibly long
10mi. I'm happy to arrive early and make the announcements in Linda's absence. I promote the Tuesday night fundraiser thingy, and run with Dave the whoe way. First time in my Go Run Ride4 shoes, very good! I ran yesterday's 21 miler in the Ultras, somehow maybe when wet they bother the top of my … Continue reading Coming back to back
21mi. Wanting to not waste my whole weekend prepping and recovering from the long run, I figure it would be better to do it Friday instead of Saturday. I do have that luxury. Jessica works in Ft Lauderdale this Friday and Saturday, so I could really do it Saturday but decide Friday long run would … Continue reading Split duty
20mi. It's a commitment to getting the miles in when I leave home on foot at 4:30am with the idea of getting 10 miles done before the store run. the whole thing is predicated on John remembering to wake up on time and show up at least to drive me home. If he does it … Continue reading Pressing an early one
