20 mi. One of the more peculiar runs I've done... I arrived at the Marcinski Rd bunker parking lot at 5:20am. We planned on starting at 5:30, but no Dave when that time arrived. I sent a text which must have woken him up, he replied and said he was sorry and would be another … Continue reading My Oddest 20

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.
32mi. I wasn't looking forward to this one. Saturday run was taken from me as I went to John's CC meet instead, He did very well, his times keep dropping as I told him they would. Maybe I'll train for 5k proficiency, but I don't have it scheduled for anytime soon! It's long run time … Continue reading Plenty of time on my toes.
26 mi. I had the plan all set. I'll run 32 miles today as a long practice for TNF Endurance Challenge. I got a drink with EFS and Carbo Pro ready to leave in my car. John made 2 almond butter and jelly sandwiches the night before. I had the Garmin charged and laid out. … Continue reading Fail Forward running
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.
23 miles I came with the intent of running 18-20 miles, not burning up too much of my day. Lanae had plans to cover 24 miles, then go to work. She would be a part if not all of my run. We began almost missing each other at the TRS store. I sent a text … Continue reading H2Only
18mi. I ran early, 5:30am around the duck pond to start this Saturday's long effort. I'm racing next weekend so I don't need too many miles, but anything below fatigue will be great. I return to the store and pickup Adrienne who has already run 6 miles to PGA Blvd and back. We ran slowly, … Continue reading 18 of 20 miles for NYC
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
19mi. I ran at 5am which means at least a 16 miler. Suzanne S. is now training for the NYC marathon, so her Saturdays will be spent running long before the Amelia Island 1/2 Ironman, then maybe one after that. IT was raining hard at times, with wind and the beginnings of the hurricane/tropical storm … Continue reading Long run with Suzanne
31 mi. I started at 3:20am from the Running Sports store. It was breezy and humid, wet streets from recent passing storms. I had the amiphod bottle on my waist (with Carbo-Pro) and a hand held strap bottle with water. I was thankful to God that even without saying a prayer, the breeze was washing … Continue reading Titanic run (with no tragedy at the end)
