5 mi. We had 30 runners up early on a Thursday morning for the track session. Paul said he was having a stress test and therefore he wasn't running. All those people spent the first 15 minutes on Alton's well-lit road warming up. I met two new runners, CrossFit people who heard about the workout … Continue reading 30 runners

5mi. When I show up at track workout and haven't been for three weeks, it feels like I have a big weight around my belt. Everyone is running fast and I'm breathing considerably hard to get this done and stay where I belong. Attila, fresh off his 19:01 5k in NYC and Aldo are who … Continue reading Miss Ya Thrice
7mi. A good crowd shows up today and there's no wind. Or breeze. Or anythhing from any direction. It's very calm, which makes for sweaty laps in both directions. I run with John, Teresa and Jen for the first 5 laps. John and I do #6 together, then I add a cool down lap with … Continue reading Rolling minus all breezes
I haven't been here in a few weeks, I am first to the Blue Heron Bridge run at just before 5am. I ran some hills in Denver, but not enough times to say,"I trained while away." Two parking lot laps and I'm on the bridge. Eating at Moe's last night always puts pressure on my … Continue reading Cooler for a bit longer
4mi. It's customary for us to get less people when winter. Today we had maybe 10 runners. Weather was warm like a late spring morning. I ran half speed, having just done the Miami Marathon 4 days earlier. Our intervals -- 1 mi warmup jog 300m w/200m recovery 300m w/200m recovery 600m w/200m recovery 900m … Continue reading Track among other achievers
4mi. "...at the nursing home!" says Paul as he assigns us our second timed mile for the morning. We don't get "miles for time" except for about each five or six weeks. But today, getting a mile interval so early in the workout made many of us think that we'd be trying to better the … Continue reading We do this workout all the time…
4 mi. Track workout was lightly attended today. Until Dave Reback brought a vanload of kids, there were less than 12 people running today. Paul felt a calf pull on his first "220" so he made his way around the track to start and announce each interval. When I arrived, we were the only two … Continue reading Odds have it
4 mi. A quick exit for the drive to school, but today's track sesh was attended by 15-20 people and some of Dave Reback's kids. They run in the middle, on the grass, or against the grain in the outermost lanes. How neat to be exposed to all this fitness starting at a young age! … Continue reading Blinking thru 400s
5 mi. No track repairs were made in the past week, so Paul setup a 1/4 mile course on the parking lot. A circle around the tree-lined separator islands, we looked to do a dozen 400m dashes, each at varying speeds as chosen and announced by Paul. We mixed up between 75-80% speed, long strides, … Continue reading Quarters and a blinking light
8 mi. I met Walter at 4:55am on a breezy, 78 degree morning. Chiara was already in the cage ticking off laps. I'm surprised to see that so much of the south wall's turquoise fence has been put up, maybe they're embarrassingly behind schedule and working quick to get one side of the bridge fixed. Fine … Continue reading St Anthony’s finishers and Suzanne, too.
