8 mi. I arrived at 4:50am to run, right when it started to rain pretty hard, and with a wind from the East at 15mph, it was tough to get out of the car. Temp was 66, I tried opening to door once, rain and wind flew right in. I took off my shirt and … Continue reading Don’t shy from the rain.
22.5 mi Starting at 4:30am, Charlotte and I did the Jupiter Island circuit run. I felt warm enough to go shirtless, but mist, fog and a breeze from the Northwest gave me something to think about once we turned around on the island. Coral Cove park restrooms are locked early am. I felt good for … Continue reading Runs of unexpected length ahead.
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
3mi. On a very still and cool morning, I went for my usual Wednesday 20 mile loop around Singer Island. Temps were in the low 60s but out of habit I wore a sleeveless jersey. I considered going back for a regular short sleever once I felt the breeze zinging me through the shoulder sleeve … Continue reading Close call at 5am
