2000 yards. It's such a stress relief to get in the pool at lunch and swim. Walter came with me, the summer camps have started again, so kids were everywhere. I also saw Dave Lill in the shower room, he was in good shape and I should've asked him for use of the pressure sprayer. … Continue reading Another nice sunny swim

4 mi. I couldn't stay for the cooldown, but the regular workout was good. It was a mix of long and short intervals, which I felt good doing. I ran behind Tom M. for the first one, then kept a good pace through all the other sprints to keep between 4-5th among the guys. 1 … Continue reading Some of each
2000 yards. John had off early from school today, so I picked him up with Walter in the car and we went to the pool. He got dressed to swim, but never went in the water, saying it was too cold. I did this workout, under a very hot sun. 8 Warmup Set (400y) 2 … Continue reading New guest appearance
58mi. Today I met Scott on his "solo" ride to the tiki hut and back. He claims to have been doing two rides per week on the streets, and three spin classes per week at LA Fitness in the mornings. It's working, he was very prepared and strong on this ride. I felt labored on … Continue reading Early again
22 mi It gets HOT and humid for run training in South Florida. We enjoyed a relatively cool winter and spring, temps kept lower than usual especially in the morning when I run. The heat is back, mid way through May I was reminded how the next 6 months will be. Charlotte suggested a long … Continue reading If at first you don’t remember
2000 yards As I do more 100s and 200s, I see the rotation during the stroke, I hold my breathe til the very last minute, it's working. It helps to be swimming at LA Fitness with the new lights installed, too! Warmup Set (200y) 8 x 25 build @ 0:40 Main Set (1600y) 4 x … Continue reading It gets easier when you do it right
7 mi. No cool down for me, I wanted to be back in time to make John's lunch and not rush through the morning process. Charlotte showed up in time to run 5 of my 6 laps with me, Walter got there very early and was on lap 4 when I started! It was cool … Continue reading Cool maybe for the last time
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
2000 yards. They have changed the lights at LA Fitness finally! The guys were there installing the new fixtures. I asked if they were "green" energy saving or whatever, they said no. They said the humidity and stale air in the pool area kills the ballast and electrical components in the light kits. Oh well, … Continue reading Shine under the lights.
50 mi. Austin, Chiara and Suzanne signed on for a ride to Sandsprit and back. We discussed Chiara's hangover and near miss on making the ride altogether. As a group, we stayed at 20-21mph for the ride up to the turnaround. On the way back, Suzanne decided to do "pickups" starting at Bridge Rd. I … Continue reading Welcome Back – NOT!
