5 mi. Today's visit to the track was so I could do my first run after the marathon. I didn't intend to go fast, just do all of the intervals and stretch out my legs. It worked, because I didn't feel achy or fatigued after the workout or for the rest of the day. Here's … Continue reading Just running in circles

Race report for Dave Masterson - A1A Marathon, Ft Lauderdale, Fl. February 21st, 2010.
6mi. I went back to the Esplanade Surfer's Paradise, this time with Walter. I wanted someone to be able to see what I've seen and report back to those at home about what a great place this is. After all, the witness protection program may strongly encourage relocation to Mercurio, MT. But I'm gonna pay … Continue reading Esplanade revisited…
8.75mi. I had no idea the sun lights the morning sky at 4:45am. I had the blackout shades drawn in my room, when I woke up early, I figured the best thing I could do would be to iron everything I brought, so I wouldn't need to do that any more on this trip. Having … Continue reading The Esplanade

7.5 mi. That bridge is a special place at 5am! I arrived about 5 minutes later than usual, but it didn't matter, the parking lot was empty, no Jon, no homeless people, silent. Except for the wind, the 73 degree morning, and the clouds zipping by overhead. The weather report said about 11-13 mph breeze, … Continue reading It’s lonely at the top.
3.1 mi It was a good day for the annual 5k to support the Susan Komen Breast Cancer society. Race temps were a full 30 degrees warmer than last year, which made for a more enjoyable lead up to the race, but times were not as fast across the board. Last night and this morning, … Continue reading Race for the Cure
4.5mi Everyone's got a different take on this - I have entered a race (5k) Saturday, track workout is Thursday, what do I do? Perhaps go with half the speed, half the workout, or do the whole thing as normal? Is it wise or foolish to "taper" for just a 5k? Can I stand to … Continue reading Last minute prep and “the formula.”
