4 mi. The previous week I wasn't at the track workout, but I heard about it from Walter. Driving rain, low attendance, and a mile for time at the end. Neat I thought, because it has to be another 5-6 weeks before I see another one of those! That's good news for my recovering leg. … Continue reading All you can eat, in 300m portions

5 mi. Today's track was more social than running, more loosening the tight right calf than speed training. I spent the workout way in the back of the group, talking and gauging how one good leg felt against the other. Our warmup was a mile, that was like running with a knot in my calf. … Continue reading Tuning the sore leg
5 mi. I don't remember the intervals, because I'm writing this days after the run, but the neatest part of the Thu track was the recognition of Paul's 70th birthday. A small cake and a singing group was a good surprise for a great guy!
4mi. No cooldown, John is at home. Erica leads the workout, trying to not be predictable. She starst with a 1000m, and ends long, too. I will predict that under her guide, we will never run a 100m or a mile. Just a thought....
4mi. I ran well in breezy 72 degree weather at the track today. I learned Gary and Perry are Boston bound, Missy and Teresa are already on schedule to race April 18th. I ran the warmup with Erica who may want to ride Saturday since she is racing Sunday. I noticed only 16 runners today, … Continue reading Getting sprite so soon?
5 mi. I knew I wasn't going to go hard, but people keep asking why I'm here. It's good to hear congratulations from friends on the A1A marathon. Most do only the half and many did PR best performances Sunday morning. 1 mi warmup jog 200m w/100m recovery 400m w/200m receovery 300m w/100m recovery 500m … Continue reading Even when I shouldn’t
4 mi. Today was a lay back and show up track workout. I just want to approach this Sunday's A1A marathon with the freshest set of legs possible. I'll eat well for the next few days, hydrate, and not look to press the speed in the morning workout. Paul knew most were there and doing … Continue reading Right before the fray
4 mi. Once back at the track on a foggy, cool morning, I was reunited with Erica and Tom Matese, both 19:05 runners at Race For the Cure. Scott S was going fast, as was Kyle Smith. I need another run fast episode once a week to get better. Like neighborhood 5k? 1 mi warmup … Continue reading Back among the speedy
4 mi Erica was the leader of the group this time, she mixed up the intervals so as not to be outguessed by the group. Oddly, she chose to include me in what was coming before each interval.. She is faster than I've seen her - I stayed close on most runs, but I predict … Continue reading Trying not to be predictable
4mi. After mentally forging into the sprinkle that began the moment I left my home in the car, I go to the track to find very humid conditions but no more rain. I arrived later than usual but was the third person there, following Walter, Paul and another guy. We started with the usual 1 … Continue reading This needs work
