Upon the Lordly Hudson...

October 15

Day Off. Driving. Flying. Etc.

Week: 54mi. Busy week, but pretty annoyed with myself re: mileage. Need to turn it around. I hope you all enjoyed Phil's return as lead blogger over the past five days.

10mi, 1:08ish: Mohawk and Hudson river bike trail. Decent run pre-wedding. Legs not great. Congrats to Schuyler Schuster on a 6th place finish at the Hartford 1/2 Marathon in 1:11:43.

12mi, 1:20:04 (6:40/mi): Mohawk and Hudson river bike trail. Ok but windy run. Kid on a bike high-fived me during the first mile. And HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Alison Traffanstedt. We chatted briefly in the morning, as I recall...hope whatever kept her from calling that evening as promised was very fun...

October 12

4mi, 24:22 (6:05/mi): Salt Block. Ahhhh, the Salt Block. A perfect 4mi loop in WH, but physically impossible to run it slower than 28:00. This would have been a more reasonable pace if I hadn't raced a bike over the last half-mile from Conard to home. Best racing strategy I've employed so far this season, biding my time over the first quarter and then hammering up the hill on Foxridge. Biker never saw it coming and was not prepared for all the shifting the hill required.

8mi, 53:54 (6:44/mi): LS8. Just missed the snow "storm", but got some flurries.

Monday: 3 miles of gossiping with Alison.

Tuesday: AM Workout. 4 mile fartlek, 1, 1, 2, 3, 2, 1, 1. Tired after running last night, but the rain had become a drizzle by the time we started so it wasn't too bad. Even did abs when I got home!

Saturday: Easy 13 or so, from condo to ford street bridge, across river, and back. Windy and kinda chilly. Calf unhappy with me running miles 9-13, a reasonable position, I think.

Monday: 6ish, windy but nice out. Pleasant run.

Abs: literally and figuratively, nowhere in sight.

Sunday: Slow ass 10 miles. Pretty in the arb. Apprehensive about leaving Madison.

Monday: Marshfield sucks for running 6. Rain. Is suburbia or rural suburbia more depressing. There seems to be enough land for trails somewhere here.

Tuesday: The sun never rises on Marshfield 5. Mist. The highlight is getting crossed the street by a fifth grade patrol wearing an orange getup as goofy looking as my own reflective and blinking gears.

Senner, did your time in Buffalo turn up any good potential running? I'm going for this weekend. I suppose all trails will be impassable due to tree downaj. ?

Wednesday (Oct 18): Fiver, slow. Good kind of chilly. Afterwords, some uneventful baseball-viewing.
