5k - This race was held on Sunday, Feb 23rd in 64 degrees, That's a cooler event day than we usually get. Held on the familiar John Prince Park 5k course, this is a two out-n-back loop setup.

5 mi - The Blue Heron Bridge run is a place where you can't bluff your level of fitness. I proved this again today. The Riviera Beach Police were at the entrance to Phil Foster Park just before 5 am to tell myself and any others the the park is closed and will open at … Continue reading My turn: Go low
I'm on a roll here. I'll have 3 marathons wrapped and done in the span of 6 weeks. I think I may have done something similar in years past, making Palm Beach, Disney and Miami a threesome. All of that was over 12 years ago at least! This will be different in that I'm putting … Continue reading The new plan
2023 Nuun Pace Team This year we knew ahead of time - despite the cooler weather in the days leading up to the Sunday morning race, that we'd be having a warm day. Temps were set to be in the mid 70s for the 6 am start and rise to 82 degrees by the time … Continue reading Palm Beaches Marathon 2023
The 18th running of this event was a hot one! I attended the Colavita Dinner Friday night at Luigi di Roma with Maria. The meal was great - the transit to the restauarnt in Deerfield Beach is crazy! This is always a test of patience as the drive down on a Friday late afternoon takes … Continue reading 2023 A1A Marathon
Some good weather ahead helps tune the mental state. I can thrive in cooler weather, especially if we get it on race day. A third Monday in April would be nice! This quick pic taken at Sandhill Crane trailhead - some peculiar foam appearing as if it's ice on our Florida canals... I'll post it … Continue reading Building more than speed

We had a good number of local runners make the trip up from Palm Beach for this race - the 50th running of the Space Coast Marathon. Today I was "on duty" … Continue reading Space Coast Half Marathon 2021
5mi. As our group passes into mid-September, we have little break in humidity. There are no breezes, and almost weekly I see the threat of thunderstorms on my MYRadar app before I leave home. I know it will be clear but wet when I arrive, so no delays - it's off to the run. 1 … Continue reading Sometimes there’s no noticeable change
11 mi. Erica asks me if I'll do her "long run" with her, calculatd to be 11 miles at 7 min pace. I was going to do the track workout at 5 miles total, but in the spirit of training harder as per my Vancouver runs, I agree. It begins with a one mile warmup … Continue reading Sure, I’ll go…
8mi. I started solo on the warmup, then ran a few up and over laps with Lani. She had instructions from her coach to limit the repeats and do more warmup. I did two solo laps at the end. Today was sticky and hot, not much of a breeze for me to enjoy. Middle of … Continue reading Back in business
