5mi. After this long, I know who's who at the track. I am usually 4th in the lineup as we do our intervals. Not today. How about tenth! Nine guys show up that all can put 100m into my pace in a mere 800m. Yes, it was warm and sticky out. Yes, I enjoy chasing … Continue reading 9 guys

5mi. Even if it's the middle of summer with crushing humidity, running intervals helps. I feel it working as I'm doing it. I probably should do another interval workout of mile repeats once every two weeks, with 800s in the middle weeks, all for time. I do enjoy yapping with Jen Davis before the runs, … Continue reading This still works
5mi. It was advertised as a 2mph wind. What I saw from the track as I looked towards the parking lot was mist, fog - translation: HUMIDITY! We did a rough workout, after the first four 200m dashes, I joked about it being 24 of them. All good until Steve Monks says he used to … Continue reading Still and Stiller
5mi. I pulled up with only a few minutes before the running began. Paul is back from his injury, Francie was away this week. Temps were low 80s plus the humidity was all out crushing. Everyone felt it and said it affected their times. Jen Q and Cody told me about their trip to NYC … Continue reading It’s all back in place
5mi. Seemed like everyone else knew it would rain during our workout - except for the guy that didn't check his radar app. I knew the track would be under construction, so it was expected we'd run around the parking lot. Francie measured a circle of 300m to use as a track. Randi was reluctant … Continue reading Around the lot to beat the rain
5mi. Paul had a good showing today, plenty of the regulars ribbed me about not being at track lately, which spilled into others contributing that I hadn't been at the bridge on Tuesdays. This is what happens when you alter a 10-12 year habit and running schedule! Paul's intervals today had many thinking we'd be … Continue reading Where have you been?
5 mi. A good effort today - too much quinoa last night made for a very full belly, plenty of bathroom time at home and at the track prior to the running. No more of that stuff with only water and a few steamed veggies! Steve led the group today in a very unpredictable set. … Continue reading When it’s still out…
5mi. Today was again, like last week, cooler than the weather should be for mid June. 82 and humid is what I should get at track, instead it was 74 degrees. I ran behind Seth, Steve Monks, a new runner named John and the same guy from last week whose name I don't know. Paul … Continue reading Hamstring warms to perform
4mi. I can say there haven't been 4 times in ten plus years of running Paul's workouts where I was the leader of the group. Worded carefully, I'm not claiming I was the fastest one there, Mike and Steve can clearly outdo my best interval efforts. However it happened, Steve ran his own themed intervals in … Continue reading Lead.
4 mi. New girl Jennifer Q. showed up and backed up her desire to become faster over the marathon distance. I told her about it on Saturday's run and she came to the early am run. 600m w/200m recovery 600m w/200m recovery 800m w/300m recovery 800m w/300m recovery 800m w/200m recovery 400m w/200m recovery 400m w/200m recovery 200m w/200m recovery … Continue reading Before the A1A attempt
