6 miles We get to the high school earlier than 6 am now, the new "plan" is to arrive at 5:45 am, park near the entrance gate, and do the warmup jog on Alton. That worked today, I ran with Gary and Seth for a little over a mile. When the guard arrived (a tad … Continue reading Is it 6 am yet?

26.2 Of all the things I could have been concerned with, a stomach issue late in the day wasn't on the list. I remember an old guy running next to me near the half/full split, asking if I was going to continue on to finish the full marathon. After answering "Yes" he harped all over sharing … Continue reading Miami Marathon 2018
Our morning started out uneventful. The Hilton is a good place for us to stay, I was rooming with Jeff Zern from Arkansas. A few other pacers were waiting for us in the lobby, they knew I was local and could lead them to a good parking spot under the American Airlines Arena. Seriously, how … Continue reading 2017 Miami Marathon
5mi. I always run the final interval workout prior to a marathon at my own "stay in the middle of the group" pace. Today was in the 50s, good practice for what I could wear in Miami. I stayed in the middle, never ahead of Attila and never behind Perry. Lilia and a few others … Continue reading Aboard but on my own plan
A chilly start - but very successful day! My time was 3:49:34, very close to a perfect pacing day. Let's start with the expo... The expo was in a new location this year, Mana Wynwood, the artist's community of Miami. Parking wasn't difficult since I was on for the first shift. I'm glad I left … Continue reading Miami Marathon 2016
8mi. It's every two weeks that I choose to do uphill sprints for the final three miles of my bridge run. Well, the downhills count, also, so it's 1 mile of warmup, 3 miles of regular hill running, and 6 sprints up with recovery jog coming back down. This was the day to do it! … Continue reading Made for me
5mi. Still barely December, still high 70s in the early morning! Marty, Franci, Paul and Seth where the early ones today. Not a large group for the last track speed workout of 2015. Paul said he was sweating after one warmup lap - he later joked that, "The end times are near" since we haven't … Continue reading Last one of the year…
Pacing for the 4:10 group...Originally scheduled to be in the 4:00 group, two days before the race we receive notice that due to expected heat, we will start the pacing groups ten minutes slower. Ok, I did 4:10 last year, I'll do it better this time! I used the Skechers Ultra shoe this race. I … Continue reading Lifetime Miami Marathon 2014
The last time I ran a marathon in Miami, it was 2004. ING wasn't a sponsor. The race was maybe slightly larger than Palm Beach's marathon. That means 600-800 marathon runners, and 2500 half marathoners. The rain blew in at mile 16 that year, yielding some crazy conditions that included sidewards rain and wind squalls … Continue reading ING Miami Marathon
