After last year's stomach problems, I was due to solve the issues and have a good race this time. Running on the Presenting Sponsor's team, Colavita, meant we had a nice dinner Friday night and packet pickup was done for me beforehand. Since the past three times I drove in bad traffic to get to … Continue reading 2019 A1A Marathon

Pacing for the 3:50 group this year... Year #14 of the race out of 15 previous years with #13 skipped due to change in ownership. I set up and worked at the Expo on Friday. It was small, but in a great location – right in the pavilion next to the start and finish line … Continue reading Palm Beach Marathon 2018
21 miles - With a scheduled 4:40 am start, who can tell which runners will show up in an electrical storm for the long one. I spoke with a few people mentioning that I was doing a 20 miler today. I said I'd start at 4:40 am, run south to the church on Singer Island, … Continue reading A crowd of runners
5 mi It's my first visit to the very western part of Texas. My hotel room overlooks... Mexico! That red "X" lit sign is the Mexico/USA southern border. I wanted to run to the border, minus the Taco Bell implications. It looked plenty closer than it was... my 5am start allowed me to go 2.5 … Continue reading El Paso
3.1 mi. Time to go fast in warm weather. Last year I received a comp entry but was not put in the proper age group. I was listed as "uncategorized" so I was not eligible for a prize. I did a warmup run of about 2 miles with Jen and Maureen. I knew it was … Continue reading 2018 Sunfest 5k
To have a good race at A1-A, you HAVE to still feel good at this point, this is where it's important to begin the fight to get home on time.
The 13th running of our hometown race was memorable. The new ownership does things right, the financial hindrances of the past are gone. This race and its accompanying weekend of events are a stock on the rise. The Bill Bone 5k on Friday night was a fun race. The event was larger than last year, … Continue reading 2017 Palm Beaches Marathon
5 miles. Today was our seasonal first taste of cooler weather, our starting temp was 55 degrees at the Benjamin Track. Paul and Tim wore long sleeve shirts and cycling skullcaps. Two gals had on prior year Classics By the Sea shirts. Our PBRR Fall Social was last night at Twisted Trunk Brewery. Although I … Continue reading 55 is a great number
10 mi. I know Oleta River State Park trails, even if I haven't ridden here in two years or more. There were good people doing this race - Ken Baxter and his 2 sons were running, Romo Melendez, Hamed, and Jodi and her new boyfriend, Randy. Julie and Frans were working at a water stop … Continue reading DTR Oleta 10 mile Full Moon Trail Race
5mi. After parking at the Alton street location, Paul rounded the corner in his now-repaired Jeep. He said, "C'mon, we are running on the track today, the gates are open." It was a noticeable difference, the track is softer and springs back with each step. I couldn't see the small repair marks until it was … Continue reading Spongey track again
