8 mi. I arrived on time, only to find Paul had already been there and spun a warmup lap in the parking lot already. I ran one of those with him, then the first two laps I did by myself. I ran the remainder of the hills with Seth Kaufman, who was interested in the … Continue reading Good yapping up the hills

16 mi. I seldom have to run the first 6 dark miles alone, I was prepared and I brought enough water and dressed for warm weather. Only a small breeze from the north helped me. When I returned form the solo PGA trip, I went to the store and met with Chiara and her younger … Continue reading A NY companion
5mi. On what Thursday do we only have 12 people line up to run Paul's track workout?

2000 yards. Before heading to the fundraiser, I squirreled away to swim at Okee LA Fitness. I didn't have much time, so I hopped in and swam 40 laps and finished. This is exactly what happens in a race, so I should be used to how all or nothing feels.

Warmup Set (400y) 4 x 100 [25 kick/50 swim/25 kick] @ 0:15 rest Main Set (1500y) 7 … Continue reading Getting better
8mi. I felt good running this morning although Walter didn't, his inside of one knee was sore from after effects of the long weekend run. I ran 3 laps with Walter, one with Chelsea and the last two myself. No breeze and 76 degrees, we are back on track for the weather we should … Continue reading Hills for motivation
29mi. I started with Chiara at 7am at Loggerhead park. Bathrooms and fountains repaired, it is a good place to start now that the sun rises early around 6:15am. The regular longer ride group left at 6:45, ok for me, I'm low on any base cycling miles, I don't need the benefit of the draft. … Continue reading Tune up at race distance.
2000 yards. I felt better in this workout, I thought about Motivation Man and how long I'd really be in the water. .9 mi. isn't that long, espcially on flat waters like the INtracoastal. Warmup Set (400y) [100 easy, 75 easy-moderate, 50 moderate, 25 moderate-hard] @ 0:15 rest between each interval 150 drill Main … Continue reading Quiet at the pool
