8 mi. It was 86 degrees and I could not run fast at all. I did some laps solo, two with Scott and one with a guy I've never met before. I made sure I swam under the bridge with Scott and Carolyn after the run, I was soaked and depleted. The lousy showers in … Continue reading Hotter than I remember!

16mi. I started running in the dark with Scott Richards and Mimi Chen. We used a new route, Ellison Wilson Rd to PGA for the first 6 miles, choosing to come back on US-1 and use the water stop at FPL. That was ok, slow pace and dark for the whole route. Once at the … Continue reading As patient as can be.
5mi. This was a labored workout from the beginning. Having just panted thru the warmup, I definitely felt my left calf was going to have a problem from the first 300m interval. It didn't pop, but it wasn't strong enough to support my going much faster than I did. I ran the warmup and really … Continue reading Not the right stuff.
8mi. During the 1 mi warmup I was questioning my breathing. Each lap of 6 on the bridge was tough, I felt very lazy and slow. I noticed a difference between good leg and injured side, but no ill effects on the hill. It was humid and dark - the east side of the bridge … Continue reading The:Last:Bridge:Runner
6 mi. Even though I ran my slowest possible Blue Heron Bridge laps ever today, it was good that I covered all the miles and had no ill effects from the recovering left leg. I got there and did not do the warmup mile or the cool down mile. I'd say without an accurate count … Continue reading It counts.
6 mi. A tune up run for the first time in a month. I ran my boring neighborhood route in 10 minute miles to see what my calf muscle feels like. I felt it different at mile 1. Tighter at mile 2. Very tight up & down my leg at mile 3, but not pain … Continue reading As slow a shuffle as shuffle is.
4mi. I didn't elect to run in the rain and wind at the bridge today, so this 4 mile tempo style run was the substitute. I went around Abacoa and took approx 40 minutes, so the estimate of 4 miles is safe. I know my pace was below 8 min miles for the whole thing. … Continue reading Instead.
10mi. I was supposed to meet Chiara and run from her house to Publix PGA and back. When I drove there, I found a txt message saying she felt her leg was hurt, but I figured she'd still be there. Not today, I parked off the side lawn of her house and slowly chugged through … Continue reading Dark the whole time
4.5mi. I did the full mile warmup but only half of the cooldown today. We had 27 people running today, Scott and Carolyn rode there, Dave Reback brought his new UPS van full of daughters, it was good, cool 71 degree weather with a breeze. Here are the intervals... 2 x 100m striders, 100m recovery … Continue reading Last week, 400s, this time 800s.
8mi. Good temps and a slight breeze from the east means it's Blue Heron Bridge time again. I am really confident today's run will push my mind back to the more predictable experiences of a sweat, going at a good pace, and seeing more people show up early. Today I was beaten to the run … Continue reading Back to Normal?
