I pulled into the Danvers Y at 5:08 this morning to meet Heidi and Julie who were going to run the first 7 miles of my long run with me today. It was pouring, coming down in buckets. Julie pulls in and few minutes later and it is still pouring. Normally I would have just…

Rain and more Rain
Looks like it is going to rain all week. I had hoped to start going outside for a few of my rides during the week in the morning, but the weather is just not cooperating. Headed down to the garage again this morning and did a Tempo ride on the CompuTrainer. Pretty much had the…
Speed? run and swim
Went for my run this morning and thought I might try to pick up the pace since I was on my own today. Felt pretty good after the 1st mile 8:06, then hit the wind heading out to the DHS track, managed a 7:33 into the wind. Mile 3 around the track was ok, other…
Ashokan Reservoir Run
In Kingston, NY for the day so it seemed like a good reason to go run along the Dam. It’s nice and quiet up there because for the most part cars are not allowed, there are a few sections, but even there they are few and far between. Sometimes if you are lucky you can…
Swim and a long ride today
Started out the morning at the Andover pool. Mike K. showed up and proceeded to kick my butt up and down the pool. Would think I never learned how to swim the way he just pulls away from me. Swim workout: 500 swim 500 pull 100 swim 300 pull —- main set twice — 375…
Switching Days
I did a swim workout this morning instead of the usual bike ride. For two reasons really. The first was because my legs needed a break after the hard bike workout on Tuesday followed by the long run on Wednesday. I figured I would let them recover for a day and swim. The second reason…
Is it really May?
It was another cold, rainy, miserable morning out there running. Slogged through 12 miles. I did manage to do negative splits, so there was one bright spot, even if it wasn’t the weather. http://connect.garmin.com/activity/84915925 Nutrition: Post run – Had a glass of milk with Hammer Recoverite. I’ve been doing this for the longer runs and…
Tuesday Tempo Ride
Started out the morning thinking I was going to use the coaching software and let it determine the power and intervals. Then Mackenzie walked into the garage at 5:15am upset about a Mosquito in her room 10 minutes into the ride. So I got a good warmup in!! After getting Mackenzie back to bed, I…
Run and swim
Had been hoping to start going to the pond in the mornings by now, but I’m having trouble getting others to show up. Still pretty cold really anyway so it is probably better that I just go run at the gym and swim after the run. The problem with running after swimming at the pond…
Boxford, Georgetown, Newbury, Newburyport….
Long ride today that took us through many towns and into another state. All the way up to Kingston,NH and back. 77 miles in all for me today. It was a very good ride, my legs felt good the entire time and felt like I could have gone further. With last few miles home I…
