13.1 milesThis was my 13th or 14th time as a pacer in the Space Coast Half Marathon, all done on the South course. In the COVID year when they did not allow pacers, I ran the race as an age group athlete. Since then, this weekend has become very popular with our Palm Beach Roadrunners … Continue reading 2025 Space Coast Half Marathon

Minneapolis, MN 4/26/25 Well here's 8 weeks of following a 5k specific workout schedule about to pour out on to the road. I loaded a plan into Final Surge, selected a goal time of 18:45 and followed the guidance. Two times per week I ran fast, then I chose to do more miles easy or … Continue reading Get in Gear 5k
The expo Friday & Saturday was very windy, a sign of what Sunday's event would entail. The Pacer tent was positioned next to our PBRR tent which was nice, I tended to both most of each day with help on each side from club members and pacers. Sunday I arrived at 4:15 am to move … Continue reading Palm Beaches Marathon 2024
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
Tokyo Marathon Expo 26.78 miles A big trip and a big race... The action began at the expo, which was at the Tokyo Big Sight Convention Center. That's a spot not really near anything except for the Tokyo harbor. The organization for the expo was not up to snuff compared to what I'd seen so … Continue reading 2024 Tokyo Marathon
This turned out nicely! Although problems arose for many when the course measured out long for both half & full marathoners, I had a good race 3 weeks after Miami Marathon. This was my "long run" for the Tokyo Marathon First up - the Colavita Team dinner. It was held again at Luigi DiRoma in … Continue reading 2024 A1A Marathon
26.56 milesI came back to do the pacing duties at this race after several years of skipping it. The expo is a big deal - It's at the Miami Beach Convention Center, the proper place for this function. Parking was easy in the nearby garage for $2 per hour. My drive down to the Miami … Continue reading 2024 Miami Marathon
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
5mi. On Grandiflora Road in Palm Beach Gardens, we've got a place to run fast. It's like a track workout, outside of the fenced high school where we would normally run a track session. Paul, the usual coach, has taken some time off the usual weekday runs, he is staying closer to home. We see … Continue reading Track by Alton
5mi. There will be a time when I can't run on a private track, shower on premise, and walk barefoot across perfectly manicured fairway-grade lawn to stretch out my toes. But that's not today! I have been in marathon training for months. That means plenty of runs, never that fast, but no true speed or … Continue reading Marathon vs 5k
