5 mi. Even in recovery mode it was refreshing to have the second cool track workout in a row. Many of my intervals had me as the very last runner in the group, which was expected. Sometimes, my recovery jog was the same speed as the interval! 1 mile warmup on Alton Rd 300m w/100m … Continue reading A good cool morning for a change!

5 mi. We had 30 runners up early on a Thursday morning for the track session. Paul said he was having a stress test and therefore he wasn't running. All those people spent the first 15 minutes on Alton's well-lit road warming up. I met two new runners, CrossFit people who heard about the workout … Continue reading 30 runners
5mi. I'm cautiously adding weekly miles on the back end of having my right hip sore for the last two weeks. The left side glute, a nagging soreness in June and July, was really the only thing I felt. I ran at mostly a 70% pace, going faster only on the final 800m interval. Paul … Continue reading You’ll be proud of this one
5.5 mi. Two rabbits waiting on a grassy field is a good sign. And an early morning text from Kaitlyn saying she'd like to try out the track this morning. Paul was away this week, I only remembered as I did the warmup with Seth and Kaitlyn. No jeep, and now I'm figuring out the … Continue reading Sans Paul
7 mi The break for schools and banks starts tomorrow - but today we had only 5 runners (including Paul) for the workout. Temp was 70 degrees at the start. I ran an extra 1/2 mile on Alton St before the gates opened to the school. I had good pace times when I glanced down at the … Continue reading Five
5 miles. Today was our seasonal first taste of cooler weather, our starting temp was 55 degrees at the Benjamin Track. Paul and Tim wore long sleeve shirts and cycling skullcaps. Two gals had on prior year Classics By the Sea shirts. Our PBRR Fall Social was last night at Twisted Trunk Brewery. Although I … Continue reading 55 is a great number
5mi. The drive to track took me a longer time than usual. Military Trail is being repaved between PGA Blvd and Donald Ross Rd. So when I'm driving up, there are partially blocked lanes, guys picking up street cones and I seem to hit every nonsense red light even if there's no one there to … Continue reading 1 mph
5mi It was 66 degrees out and after last week's short rest in between intervals, I did pushups and burpees to hopefully wake up my lungs for the track workout. Paul brought his new sign and re-marked the course at every 100m for us. I ran with Janet who was ticking along very well for … Continue reading Straight line treatment
5mi. This morning I arrived at a cool, breezy track session. Looked like we'd have low attendance, until right as we finished the warm up. A big crowd of people, Dave Reback, some of his family and a few more folks came up. Paul asked early on how come I haven't been around. Good notice … Continue reading That “Where Have You Been?” Question
5mi. It might be a little cooler out by only a few degrees. We start and it's dark and humidity is obvious during the warmup laps. After finishing Sunday's Lake Worth Triathlon with a good run, I am confident and in a good mood to train well today. There are a good number of fast … Continue reading Well lit autumn session
