Walking (Dog walk) 58:45 [1] 2.99 mi (19:39 / mi)
shoes: Asics Gel Venture 4

Early afternoon dog walk. Got caught in some sprinkles near the end, but glad we weren't out 10 minutes more because it started pouring.
9 PM

Walking (Dog walk) 36:00 [3] 1.71 mi (21:03 / mi)
shoes: Asics Gel Venture 4

Late-evening dog walk. No GPS carried; over to Finn Park, around the parking lot, and back.

What's the deal with this weather, it's late July and I had to put on a jacket???

Running 36:21 [3] 4.0 mi (9:05 / mi) +37ft 9:00 / mi
shoes: Hoka Conquest

Run on the canal, with trailsnail. Got back just as it was starting to rain (and it wound up raining quite hard).

One 2-minute walking break at the 3-mile mark, not counted in the time or distance.
9 PM

Walking (Dog walk) 41:51 [1] 2.03 mi (20:38 / mi) +6ft 20:34 / mi
shoes: Asics Gel Venture 4

Late-evening (meaning basically total darkness when I started -- I miss the later sunsets already and it's only going to get worse) dog walk. Around the big block.

1 PM

Walking (Dog walk) 57:11 [1] 2.87 mi (19:57 / mi) +13ft 19:52 / mi
shoes: Salomon hiking boots

Dog walk on a very wet day. Our rain gauge had been empty yesterday evening, and now has 3.3 inches in it. The rain finally showed a bit of a letup so I decided to get the dogs out for a semi long walk.

We went over to Finn Park to see what the creek was like. As expected, it was roaring -- definitely kayakable in most parts, with some rapids that I would rate as Class II.

Got very wet, esp my feet. I wore hiking boots thinking that might keep them at least somewhat dry, but in order to get to the creek, we had to cross a small drainage ditch that is usually totally dry, sometimes is a bit muddy, and sometimes has some water in it. Today it was about 6 feet wide and probably a foot deep at the deepest part. I was reluctant to cross it so we headed in the "upstream" direction a ways but it didn't get much better. Finally crossed at a point where both feet wound up going in water about 10 inches deep, resulting in totally saturated socks and boots. No big problem though, in fact that removed any perceived pressure to stay dry.

Walking (Dog walk) 1:00:36 [1] 3.1 mi (19:31 / mi) +13ft 19:26 / mi
shoes: Asics Gel Venture 4

To Finn Park, up to the creek, cooling stop in the creek for the dogs, and back via the Rt 104 path.
12 PM

Running 27:04 [3] 3.11 mi (8:42 / mi) +52ft 8:34 / mi
shoes: Hoka Conquest

I had pondered running a 5K race this morning in Byron, but decided against it, so I did a 5K on my own instead ... not exactly race pace (which for me at this point wouldn't be all that fast), but I was somewhat pushing the pace over the last half of the run.
3 PM

Pickleball 2:00:00 [3]

Indoors, Rec Center. Lots of good games.
10 PM

Walking (Dog walk) 34:21 [1] 1.58 mi (21:43 / mi) +6ft 21:38 / mi
shoes: Asics Gel Venture 4

Over to Finn Park and around the parking lot. Had a couple of close calls in terms of potential nasty interactions with other dogs ... one on our street (Daisy, very inappropriate name) who gets along with Homer but not with most other dogs including Hanna, and one with (I think) the pit bull or mix who lives in the house right next to the entrance to Finn Park, out for a walk with its owner.

9 AM

Tennis 45:00 [2]

Tennis with Cheryl, and then a little with Mike S., at the Webster courts.
10 AM

Pickleball 15:00 [1]

One game of pickleball, in between hitting tennis with Cheryl and hitting with Mike. I played terrible; it's tough, for me anyway, to go from tennis to pickleball. It didn't help that it was a bit breezy.
3 PM

Walking (Dog walk) 1:01:57 [1] 3.19 mi (19:24 / mi) +1ft 19:23 / mi

Mid afternoon walk with all three dogs, Homer, Hanna, and Hershey. A bit of a handful but not too bad once we got going.
6 PM

Tennis 1:00:00 [0]

Tennis lesson, at Thomas HS. Only 3 of us tonight -- Cheryl, me, and a young lady who is reasonably good. Worked on serves for 10 minutes and forehands for 50 minutes.

Event: ROC - Durand Eastman Park Trail Challenge
 
10 AM

Walking (Dog walk) 1:00:18 [1] 2.66 mi (22:40 / mi) +51ft 22:16 / mi
shoes: Asics Gel Venture 4

Walking three dogs this morning; we have Hershey with us, whose owner dogsits for Homer a lot. So three H dogs, Homer, Hanna, and Hershey. On the HJ trail, with a stop for a dip in the stream, and a couple of stops to socialize with two dogs that this guy had, who were quite friendly to my 3 dogs and vice versa.
3 PM

Course setting 39:37 [1] 1.71 mi (23:09 / mi) +174ft 21:07 / mi
shoes: Asics Gel Venture 3

Setting out controls for Durand Trail Challenge.

Orienteering 29:44 [4] 4.16 km (7:09 / km) +206ft 6:39 / km
shoes: Asics Gel Venture 3

Durand Trail Challenge, 4K (first loop), unofficially since I was course setter.

I don't think I added any extraneous distance, so the distance of the first loop was 4% over the aim distance of 4.0 km actual distance (not straight line). I'll be interested to see the distance covered by others of the 2nd loop.
C • Thanks 4
10 PM

Walking (Dog walk) 38:00 [1] 2.0 mi (19:00 / mi)
shoes: Asics Gel Venture 4

10 AM

Walking 42:31 [3] 0.93 mi (45:57 / mi) +949ft 23:19 / mi
shoes: Asics Gel Venture 4

Hiking up Mt. Baker in Saranac Lake. Short but not totally easy, esp. for someone with problematic knees like Cheryl. Definitely some moderately rugged climbing.
11 AM

Walking 39:00 [1] 0.94 mi (41:42 / mi)
shoes: Asics Gel Venture 4

Hiking down from the summit of Mt. Baker, using a different trail that turned out to be a bit easier.

Saturday Jul 19, 2014 #

7 AM

Walk/run 19:45 [2] 2.01 mi (9:50 / mi) +75ft 9:30 / mi
shoes: Hoka Conquest

Pretty lame walk/run from the B&B we stayed in on the south shore of Lake Pleasant (NY; Adirondacks). Felt really bad at first, partly because I'm not used to running early in the morning, and partly because I have this nagging cough that's been going on for about a week (not many other cold symptoms fortunately). But after about a mile, I began to feel a bit better. Still, it was a short, slow slog.
11 AM

Walking 32:57 [1] 1.04 mi (31:50 / mi) +216ft 26:35 / mi
shoes: Asics Gel Venture 4

Hiking on the trail to Snowy Mt near Speculator. It's about the highest mt in that part of the Adirondacks at 3800 feet. We had absolutely no intentions of making it to the top or even half way up, we just wanted to check out the trail and have a bit of a hike, so our goal was to go 0.5 miles and turn around (would have been 3.2 miles and about 2000 feet of climb to get to the summit).
12 PM

Walking 10:08 [1] 0.29 mi (34:33 / mi) +37ft 30:51 / mi
shoes: Asics Gel Venture 4

Again, no serious hike, we just came across a trailhead for the Northville-Lake Placid trail, and for the heck of it walked a bit on it.

Walking 26:23 [0] 0.45 mi (58:00 / mi) +40ft 53:33 / mi
shoes: Asics Gel Venture 4

And once again, nothing serious, just strolling down to Buttermilk Falls from the road, and walking around a bit to have various vantage points.

Walking (Dog walk) 35:55 [1] 2.01 mi (17:54 / mi) +2ft 17:53 / mi

Early dog walk, before we had to drop them off at their respective sitters for the weekend.

2 PM

Running 35:33 [3] 4.01 mi (8:52 / mi) +76ft 8:43 / mi
shoes: Hoka Conquest

On sidewalks/roads in Penfield, with trailsnail. Longest and fastest run I've done since trying to get back into it, which is kind of sad considering it was only 4 miles (with a walking break after 3 miles), and not all that fast by any normal standards. But it felt good to be able to do it.
9 PM

Walking (Dog walk) 45:10 [1] 2.07 mi (21:49 / mi) +5ft 21:46 / mi

7 PM

Pickleball 1:45:00 [3]

Drop-in play at the Rec Center. Had a number of decent games. I played OK, better than my last outing I'd say, but not great by any means.
9 PM

Walking (Dog walk) 24:45 [1] 1.02 mi (24:10 / mi) +1ft 24:09 / mi
shoes: Brooks Ghost 5

Somewhat abbreviated dog walk. I was a bit bushed from playing pickleball, and the dogs didn't seem inspired to go on their normal 2-mile nightly walk, so we turned back after half a mile.

Monday Jul 14, 2014 #

9 AM

Tennis 59:32 [1] 1.3 mi (45:48 / mi)
shoes: Brooks Ghost 5

Practicing some tennis at Webster Thomas courts, with Cheryl. I'm sure most of the distance covered was retrieving balls.
11 AM

Walking 14:20 [1] 0.57 mi (25:18 / mi) +2ft 25:13 / mi
shoes: Asics Gel Venture 4

Very abbreviated dog walk. I was heading out on what I planned to be a 2.5-3 mile walk, when Cheryl yelled to me, don't be gone very long, because Hanna has a vet appt for a Lyme vaccine at 11:30 (which was 30 minutes from then, and the vet office is 15 minutes away).
1 PM

Walking (Dog walk) 46:48 [1] 2.54 mi (18:26 / mi) +5ft 18:24 / mi
shoes: Asics Gel Venture 4

Finally, a decent length walk today -- say Homer and Hanna.

9 AM

Walking (Corn Hill) 2:18:00 [0] 3.0 mi (46:00 / mi) +1ft 45:59 / mi
shoes: Asics Gel Venture 4

Corn Hill festival. Semi-rained out, but we hung in there for a while at least. We even bought a couple of more items than we usually do, possibly because we had sympathy for the poor vendors.
1 PM

Orienteering 31:07 [3] 2.34 mi (13:20 / mi) +226ft 12:12 / mi
shoes: Montrail Mt Masochist Mar 2011

Powder Mills "Sprint" (actually not much of a sprint).

I thought I was doing pretty bad -- I didn't feel like I was moving fast most of the time, especially off trail, and I didn't feel I had much in the way of "flow". It wasn't helped that I neglected to put on my bifocals so I was having more trouble than usual reading the map. So I was very surprised to find that I finished pretty respectfully, something like 4th or 5th I believe. Way behind the winner (Zach L., 24 minutes) but not too far behind 2nd or 3rd place.

Course was pretty clearly way longer than a sprint would normally be, especially for a forest-type sprint which will typically be slower per km than an urban/campus type sprint.
8 PM

Walking (Dog walk) 50:45 [1] 2.41 mi (21:05 / mi) +8ft 21:01 / mi

Walking (Dog walk) 51:22 [1] 2.27 mi (22:40 / mi) +7ft 22:36 / mi
shoes: Asics Gel Venture 4

Late evening dog walk. Dogs got in nearly 7 miles of walking today, thanks partly to trailsnail for taking them on a nice walk for us, while Cheryl and I were visiting friends on Keuka Lake.

Friday Jul 11, 2014 #

9 AM

Pickleball 45:00 [2]

Webster Park. Cool, not much wind, very bright sun. 11 people total at the max.
11 AM

Walk/run (With Hanna) 41:01 [2] 4.6 km (8:55 / km) +441ft 7:47 / km
shoes: Montrail Mt Masochist Mar 2011

Run through (actually mostly walk, some running) of the 4K Trail Challenge course draft, to check for length and the time it takes for someone very slow like me to do it. Length came out too high. I made a couple of small bobbles that added some unnecessary distance, but probably not more than 0.1 km worth, so I need to trim the course down a bit.

It took 41 minutes, but I think I can subtract 3-4 minutes of "stoppage time" due to Hanna (bathroom duty stop, a couple of stops in ponds to cool off, and many small stops to sniff whatever it is dogs sniff).

At the end, I thought I'd give her a treat by letting her wade/swim in Lake Ontario, but she seemed scared of the waves! Even though there was very little wind and therefore very small waves. She wouldn't even get her paws wet.
10 PM

Walking (Dog walk) 40:00 [1] 2.0 mi (20:00 / mi) +7ft 19:56 / mi

9 PM

Walking (Dog walk) 26:45 [1] 1.0 mi (26:45 / mi)
shoes: Asics Gel Venture 4

Late evening dog walk, only 1 mile this time instead of the normal 2 miles. No GPS carried but I've walked the distance many times and know it's pretty close to a mile. Dogs were really dawdling, hence the very slow pace.

Danged nippy out -- not real comfortable in the shorts and tee shirt I was wearing. Tough to believe it's mid July. Nice clear night though (which correlates with the nippiness), some stars out, would be many many more if I had done the dog walk an hour later.

Walking (Dog walk) 51:46 [1] 2.52 mi (20:34 / mi) +14ft 20:27 / mi

Pickleball 2:00:00 [3]

Indoors, at the Rec Center. Lots of good games. I felt like I was playing better than I've played outdoors lately, but that's kind of normal -- outdoors is a bit more challenging in a number of respects.
9 PM

Walking (Dog walk) 37:49 [1] 1.99 mi (19:02 / mi) +2ft 19:01 / mi
shoes: Asics Gel Venture 4

Twilight-to-near-dark dog walk. While on the walk, Mars became visible, extremely close (visually) to where the moon was, maybe less than a degree above. And what was interesting, although not really surprising, is that I could see the moon moving relative to Mars in the 20 minutes from when Mars became visible, to the end of the walk.

shoes: Hoka Conquest

HJ trail run with trailsnail. My goal was to run continuously for 3 miles, and I accomplished that, but both Anne and I were quite chagrined to find out how slow our average pace was. Particularly discouraging is that it didn't really SEEM quite that slow.

Report from the dog-sitter about Hanna was NOT good, unfortunately ... she may be stuck in a kennel next time we go away.
