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

5 mi Today, 7/11 and it's time for track. I came early enough to run a warmup on Alton Rd plus visit a porta potty in the neighborhood-to-be near the rec center. Lisa Cox joined this run, her first ever track session. Since we don't have many people doing our late start for summer hours, … Continue reading Twelve Quarters
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
5mi. A good run today with a few new attendees. Rachel and Reilly Dawson came, as did a new guy who I remember seeing at one of our other runs. I did my intervals right behind or with Aldo. Seth was out doing a marathon in Aspen Valley so he wasn't running with us today, … Continue reading Track w/a few new runners
5.5 mi. We have stayed clear of the hot, still, and humid conditions for a month and a half longer than usual. This week has been a solid "rain every day" stretch, so maybe the summer pattern of high humidity and afternoon showers will return. I had a high heart rate earlier than I thought … Continue reading Cheated no more
5mi. Today I used a different approach. If my challenge is breathing, I worked harder on the intervals and didn't jog all of the 100m recoveries. I wanted to spend the energy on the track while the time was elapsing. It worked out ok, no tremendous breakthroughs. I ran behind James and Steve. Seth was … Continue reading More on the intervals
5mi. Last night's Rogue Run was terrific fun. Plenty of runners, a great showing at the Twisted Trunk afterward, and good photos of the group. Today the wake up with 3 beers for dinner was a challenge. I usually do some body weight exercises to open my lungs and wake up before driving to the … Continue reading Feathers fall flat
5mi. A warm and sticky day with a "sometimes" breeze from the east. About 12 people on the track, I followed Seth and a high school runner on most intervals. Probably less effort than last week, I wasn't going to catch Seth but I wasn't in danger of being chased down, either. I forgot my … Continue reading Before sunrise
5mi. No rain! First workout in 5 days outdoors as what is being described as "once in a century" rains and floods hit South Florida. I believe the rain has brought some cooler temps, that's good. I am entered in the Full Moon 10 mile race on Saturday night. Previously held at JD State Park, … Continue reading On the Grid Again
5mi. After parking at the Alton street location, Paul rounded the corner in his now-repaired Jeep. He said, "C'mon, we are running on the track today, the gates are open." It was a noticeable difference, the track is softer and springs back with each step. I couldn't see the small repair marks until it was … Continue reading Spongey track again
