4 mi. A cooler than I expected morning meant I wore my heaviest grade cotton short sleeved t-shirt. I met Erica at her car, thankfully she confirmed, it was not a regular warm day. Sometimes the tree-surrounded Reback Track & Field is cooler than its surroundings! Paul called out a "nobody could've guessed it" set … Continue reading A token showing
Tag: Reback Track Field
4mi. It was 61 degrees when I pulled into the parking lot. I took a nice iPhone picture of the Reback Track & Field sign, it is now well lit because of the new lights that make the parking lot look like daytime! Paul and John were joking back and forth about barefoot running, citing … Continue reading Different but that’s ok
5 mi With a new surface, Benjamin HS track still doesn't have all the air bubbles out of the track nor does it have lane lines painted yet. It is a great place to run, and those little details don't stop some of the north county's best runners from their Thursday workouts with Coach Paul. … Continue reading Laneless track
5 mi. Perry called out the intervals today, a really hot and still humid morning. No relief from a breeze or a temp under 83 at 5:30am. We ran the following workout. 1 mi warmup jog 1000m w/200m recovery 400m w/200m recovery 200m w/200m recovery 800m w/200m recovery 800m w/200m recovery 600m w/200m recovery 400m … Continue reading No Paul, no mile…
5mi. This week the workouts were a staggered mix of long and short. I did well to push near the front group on most of the long ones. Without Erica, I stayed near Tom Matese and tried to catch a very fast Chris Drew. 1 mi warmup jog 300m w/100m recovery 800m w/100m recovery 100m … Continue reading Nice to be among the speedy again
5 mi. I don't remember the intervals, because I'm writing this days after the run, but the neatest part of the Thu track was the recognition of Paul's 70th birthday. A small cake and a singing group was a good surprise for a great guy!
4mi. I ran well in breezy 72 degree weather at the track today. I learned Gary and Perry are Boston bound, Missy and Teresa are already on schedule to race April 18th. I ran the warmup with Erica who may want to ride Saturday since she is racing Sunday. I noticed only 16 runners today, … Continue reading Getting sprite so soon?
5 mi. I knew I wasn't going to go hard, but people keep asking why I'm here. It's good to hear congratulations from friends on the A1A marathon. Most do only the half and many did PR best performances Sunday morning. 1 mi warmup jog 200m w/100m recovery 400m w/200m receovery 300m w/100m recovery 500m … Continue reading Even when I shouldn’t
4 mi. Today was a lay back and show up track workout. I just want to approach this Sunday's A1A marathon with the freshest set of legs possible. I'll eat well for the next few days, hydrate, and not look to press the speed in the morning workout. Paul knew most were there and doing … Continue reading Right before the fray
5 mi. I woke up at 3:49am, thought the alarm didn't fire off, so I got right up, did pushups, situps, and drove to the track. Arriving in an empty lot, I really questioned what day it was. I looked at my watch and saw 4:21, a full hour earlier than the whole workout starts … Continue reading 60 minutes more
