4 mi. Once back at the track on a foggy, cool morning, I was reunited with Erica and Tom Matese, both 19:05 runners at Race For the Cure. Scott S was going fast, as was Kyle Smith. I need another run fast episode once a week to get better. Like neighborhood 5k? 1 mi warmup … Continue reading Back among the speedy

4 mi Erica was the leader of the group this time, she mixed up the intervals so as not to be outguessed by the group. Oddly, she chose to include me in what was coming before each interval.. She is faster than I've seen her - I stayed close on most runs, but I predict … Continue reading Trying not to be predictable
4mi. After mentally forging into the sprinkle that began the moment I left my home in the car, I go to the track to find very humid conditions but no more rain. I arrived later than usual but was the third person there, following Walter, Paul and another guy. We started with the usual 1 … Continue reading This needs work
4 mi. I did the warmup, slower than most - I think people are training to see how fast they can do that jog mile! Our intervals today were mathematically figured out by Perry. He caught on to the ascending long intervals separated by the descending short 100s. 1 mi warmup 4 x 100m with … Continue reading Short runs and it was humid and still again…
4 mi. I was feeling the effects of a very long run Saturday when it came time to go fast. I think I was quick on maybe three of the intervals, the rest I stayed respectably behind Erica. LIke 100m behind her. The weather was 71 degrees and it was breezy, nice feeling when we … Continue reading Cooling off!
4 mi. Erica organized the track workout in Paul's absence. She said we'd do more longer things... and that's how it panned out. It was warm and no breeze - tough to breath. 1 mi warmup 1000m, 200m recovery 800, 200m recovery 400m, 200m recovery 400m, 200m recovery 600m, 200m recovery 800m, 200m recovery 600m, … Continue reading Longer and welcomed
4 mi. First one of the season since school was in, I tried it make it quick. I don't remember the intervals, I do remember trying ot cut through Ballen Isles which took WAY too long. And hitting most of the lights when trying to get home in time for John's school drive.
4 mi. No time for a cooldown now that John is in high school with an earlier start, I went pretty hard for most of the intervals and then left. I'm writing this a week after it happened, I really don't remember the specifics of the intervals. I know I was better than the week … Continue reading Some there, some left elsewhere.
4.5 mi. This was a simple workout, 12 repeats of 400m each. We broke the into sets of three, inside the sets we had 100m recovery. In between the sets of three were 200m recoveries. I would say I ran at about 75%-80% speed, many times shadowing Erica and Tom Matese. I kept thinking, "Just … Continue reading Roll it over and over.
