8mi. It's not often I'm first at Blue Heon Bridge, but however, the traffic lights aligned - I was alone at 4:46 am in the parking lot. I ran a warmup lap by myself. My car said 69 degrees, leaving my house the weather app said 64 degrees. This is common, it's warmer by the … Continue reading Breeze minus 10

5 miles On a day when I thought we'd be running on the Benjamin Track, we arrived and had the intervals on the Alton streets again. I used this to put myself over the lululemon Strava Challenge 80k mark. I felt "heavy" running the intervals this morning. I saw my watch at a 6:15 pace when … Continue reading 20 for Alton
5mi. I arrived in good time, time enough to enjoy a 64-degree warmup with a shirt on! It has been so out of character warm as of late. I leave windows open in my house, but no cool weather arrives - so it's time to seal up and rely on air conditioning. I ran near … Continue reading A small commitment
5mi. The intervals for today were all middle distance, except for a 200m near the beginning. The new guy Roger went fast for that one, step for step with John R., but he wasn't anywhere near the front on the others. 1 mi warmup jog 600m w/200m recovery 200m w/200m recovery 500m w/200m recovery 500m w/200m recovery 600m w/200m … Continue reading On track for something good
8mi. Double up on the hill sprints - I choose this because who wants to run the sprints the week right before a marathon? Not me! I get Jen Q. interested in this idea, she runs the 2 warm up laps with me, then the first 3 miles. And when she sprints up- she does … Continue reading Encouraging pain for others!
7mi. Arriving about 5 minutes late due to unreasonable traffic lights all the way to the bridge, I was met with John stretching in the street. He's never there befoe me! A few of the girls were in the parking lot, stating they already ran the warmup mile and were ready to hit the hill. … Continue reading Be Quick or miss out
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
5mi. The first track session of 2015 means I haven't been here in 3 weeks. Nothing for Christmas Day or New Year's Day. We stick to a simple plan that Steve Monks predicts - he feels Paul will get us done quickly and out of the cold wind. 1 mi warmup jog 400m w/200m recovery … Continue reading Into the North Wind
8mi. Today I ran with plenty of folks. Jen Q, Jen K, Regina, John Reback and Steve are all there early. There's a breeze from the SE so we enjoy cool temps all laps on the hill. The running of the hill was routine, no bathroom breaks, meaning I've figured out that eating big on … Continue reading Rocket NOT
