4mi. 1800+ registered runners of ALL ages. 900 pies for finishers. Medals to all participants. Long ahead in the future, people will look back and ask how an event this cool was so much to so many people. It is a great race! John and I arrived just before 6:30am, in time for a good … Continue reading Run 4 the Pies

7.5mi I cut the cooldown to one parking lot lap, I felt as if my bridge laps were slow so I needed to get back for John. I brought my new 110% calf sleeves with the ice inserts. Paul asked why I was wearing stockings, he'd never do it but his daughter and Greg Bennet … Continue reading Good hills w/Walter and a breeze.
8 mi. A warmup mile with Walter, then 6 bridge miles and good chatting with Teresa and Walter. Chelsea overslept so no show for her. I ran my final lap with Adrianna, who also did the cooldown mile with me. I saw Carolyn's new car too! The hills felt good, especially going down. Conditions were … Continue reading Good hills
7.5 mi. Charlotte's last showing at this run as a Florida resident is met with a slight breeze and no lights on the bridge at all. She wanted to run on the sidewalk, but I guess wanted someone to talk with even more so she stayed in the street. Walter departs for NZ today but … Continue reading Dark again?
7.5 mi Took my time getting started, I ran only one lap around the parking lot with Walter before Chiara and Charlotte arrived ready to run. This was maybe the first time in a very long time that the four of us came to run the bridge together. It may be the last with Charlotte's … Continue reading Final Four
10 miles. It is an unlikely day when I'm doing this many miles after work, but the chance came - so go. Chiara and Walter were planning this, I did not run at the bridge early this morning so it was ripe for me to makeup the time on my feet from a lackluster mileage … Continue reading 10 @ 7
5mi. Today the track was full of familiar summer folk that make their best appearances during the "school's out" break. Eileen Turrenne was going well, somewhat dismayed that the workouts were predominately short intervals. Chiara, Charlotte, Walter and Jon were all there. Here's how it went. 1 mile warmup jog 100m w/100m recovery 200m w/100m … Continue reading School’s out…
7.5 mi. Arriving it was Walter, Dave Reback and I for the warmup. I was better prepared to start quick, but it did't seem like a big deal today. Very humid out at 5am. Paul was an early riser too, he went his island route warmup. Charlotte arrived in time to do one warmup and … Continue reading Sprinkles too.
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
8mi. I got there in time to catch Walter waiting for Dave Reback to circle the parking lot. We did a perky speed warmup followed by two quick bridge laps before Dave R. went his own pace and Walter and I discussed work and stuff. It was hot at the start, only a small breeze … Continue reading Hot again on the hills
