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

6 mi. Slow paced jog for 6 miles allows Dr Larivee to see what's failing and loosen me up as much as possible before the race. I cannot see him after Friday, so I follow the directives and purchase a heating pad and stretch whenever I can. The 6 miles happen very slowly with soreness … Continue reading Again?
6 mi. Dr Larivee says try a run in the neighborhood to see how your leg feels. I did a 6 mi run at regular pace, 8-8:30 and my right calf fails after 2 miles. I figure instead of going home, I'll see what happens after it spikes pain. It doesn't get worse in the … Continue reading Doctor’s orders
6mi. I had to run 6 miles before returning to physical therapy tomorrow, so a jaunt on the treadmill at lunch gets the call. I made it 5.75 miles at mostly marathon pace then my leg gave in to a pain below the calf muscle. I did the final quarter mile and felt like I'll … Continue reading Treadmill test
6mi. I ran the neighborhood route at slow 10 min miles to see what my calf would feel like. At first, it was tight with soreness on the outsides. As I made it past 2 miles, it felt better, never the same as the other one but ok to run with. I think a few … Continue reading Getting one in
8 mi. Really I did 6 miles on the sidewalk, with a warmup mile and cool down mile to make 8 for the workout. It was 68 degrees at the start, with a nice cooler breeze from the west. One lane of car traffic was limited in each direction, so now we have less to … Continue reading 8 on the sidewalk
4mi. So just leave the front door and time a 2 mile out and back sprint? This was fun the last two weeks in lieu of the bridge run, and I believe this familiarization with the breathing and lungs necessary to do well in a 5k like event. I did 26:01 this week, negative split … Continue reading A new piece of speed
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
4 mi It's good to reconnect and socialize, this was my first run since PB Marathon. Paul was kind with no mile sprint today, and the 43degree weather was a test enough for both. Thankfully no wind! Here are the details... 1 mi warmup jog. 800m w/200m recovery 400m w/200m recovery 400m w/200m recovery 400m … Continue reading Back to track
8mi. It was worth waking and driving to the bridge today. Slim attendance means most are done with their big race or heading to NY Marathon this weekend. I enjoyed a good breeze from the east and found welcome cooler weather to run alone in. I find the days that seem lackluster in the process … Continue reading Worth it
