5mi. Just home from a great weekend away in Boston, it was time to tell the stories. Both warmup and cooldown miles were spent recalling the weekend's high points and answering questions. Today was breezy from the east. I ran with Janet, sometimes Atilla and always behind Seth. 1mi warmup jog 300m w/100m recovery 500m w/100m … Continue reading Still in the street.

5mi. The "prescribed" workout for pre-marathon Thursday is run the track session at half speed or do 6 - 800m intervals at marathon pace. Not today! I ran the familiar workout next to Attila, we were going faster than I would have but with no problems or strain. My breath was taxed, but it recovered … Continue reading Off the usual
5mi. I didn't want to miss the track workout today. Surprise, it's mile-for-time day! I wanted to run at 65% for all of the intervals. I did better than that, credit going to the 6 mile solo run I did after flying back from NYC on Tuesday. Mile went well, I didn't check my splits … Continue reading Post race surprise
5mi. After 3 months, we still have yet to re-engage the "mile for time. I don't know that we have ever waiting this long between mile tests. Paul has missed a few, Franci led some workouts in his absence, but no miles. Hmmmm... 1 mi warmup jog 200m w/100m recovery 200m w/100m recovery 400m w/200m … Continue reading Still no mile?
5mi. As our group passes into mid-September, we have little break in humidity. There are no breezes, and almost weekly I see the threat of thunderstorms on my MYRadar app before I leave home. I know it will be clear but wet when I arrive, so no delays - it's off to the run. 1 … Continue reading Sometimes there’s no noticeable change
5mi. How do I show up for an outdoor track workout and go through the whole thing feeling as if even while running, there is no breeze. Like I was indoors? The blast of full-summer humidity is back, and it gets light very early in the process of covering 3 miles of intervals. I was … Continue reading As still as the indoors
Today we had many runners, kids, first-timers and people we haven't seen in awhile. Erica and Keith, Jen Davis, plenty of folks that used to come every week. Paul was away so Franci's workout was the guide... 1 mi warmup jog 200m w/200m recovery 200m w/200m recovery 400m w/200m recovery 800m w/200m recovery 800m w/200m … Continue reading Franci leads
5mi. I may have been the only one of the morning track group doing any racing at A1A Marathon this weekend. So if I could have made the workout that best fits what I needed and wanted to run, it would be today's 6- 800m repeats in cool weather. It wasn't light out, so the … Continue reading The Right Prescription
5mi. Still barely December, still high 70s in the early morning! Marty, Franci, Paul and Seth where the early ones today. Not a large group for the last track speed workout of 2015. Paul said he was sweating after one warmup lap - he later joked that, "The end times are near" since we haven't … Continue reading Last one of the year…
5mi. As if the lot of us haven't been to enough of Paul's workouts, we still don't guess the intervals correctly even when it seems so easy. Today was cooler but no breeze at all which made it hot and sweaty after the warmup laps. Perry, Seth, myself, it was a good effort but it … Continue reading When you think you know…
