26.2 miles. Our race would have been today in Hawley, Pa. They had 41 degree temperatures and a high probability of rain predicted for our run on that course. We had another idea, however. Five of us lined up at 5:15 am in the parking lot of Dunkin' Donuts in Juno Beach for a full … Continue reading Outrun Corona

10k race. This was the first year for this event, a 5k and 10k at Singer Island Ocean Mall. I was originally slated to be the announcer, but a local radio station sponsored the event and used their talent instead. I arrived early so I could do what I'd normally do before asking my legs … Continue reading Wendy Martinez 10k
8miles. Tuesday mornings, I am usually running up and down the Blue Heron Bridge. As of late, I began doing the Hanson's program recommended strength workout for Advanced Half Marathon. Which was 800m, 1000m, 1200m, the one mile repeats. Each was to be done at 5k pace. I set my watch to count off the … Continue reading Garmin goofing
7mi. Like I haven't done this enough times to know, the Blue Heron Bridge works your run muscles well. I arrived begrudgingly at just before 5am, I was thankful to see Jen Q and Cody there. Jen Keys is still walking the hills, great for her, I expected her to already have delivered Baby #2. … Continue reading Taking care of the tender spots
20 mi. One of the more peculiar runs I've done... I arrived at the Marcinski Rd bunker parking lot at 5:20am. We planned on starting at 5:30, but no Dave when that time arrived. I sent a text which must have woken him up, he replied and said he was sorry and would be another … Continue reading My Oddest 20
7.5 mi We went early and had time to run a warmup lap with Teresa and Jen. Today we missed Paul, but we did have a breeze from the west. That makes a big difference both ways. We ran and talked with the two girls, John did very well being it was definitley early for … Continue reading Bridge with John
20 miles. I don't get many Mondays off she the rest of the working world is at it. I decided that since my weekend was spent in transit to and from Tampa, today would be my long run. The 3 weeks from your marathon long run everyone is supposed to do. I drove to Loggerhead … Continue reading Taking the day as an opportunity.
26 mi. I had the plan all set. I'll run 32 miles today as a long practice for TNF Endurance Challenge. I got a drink with EFS and Carbo Pro ready to leave in my car. John made 2 almond butter and jelly sandwiches the night before. I had the Garmin charged and laid out. … Continue reading Fail Forward running
16mi. I woke up early at 2:50am to run what I thought would be 26 miles. Garmin charged, Nuun tablet for the hand bottle, the right clothes - I was ready. I started at 3:20am, the temp in the car said 86, unusually hot! I started the run with coconut milk in the hand bottle, … Continue reading Abbreviated
26mi. Starting at 9am is a luxury for me, I know only early times for most of my workouts. I met Chiara at her house to start. We rode the bumpy and under construction A1A route off Singer Island, up to US-1, north to A1A again and then to the inlet turnaround. It was a … Continue reading Last ride of the year
