| Ellison Wetlands. Ran from Empire to Old Browncroft and back, not in the most direct way. I was able to run most of the uphills, had to walk only a few times, so it seems like hills are getting a little bit easier. Very approx estimate of mileage and climb. |

| Karl Kolva and I spent all morning on a "guided tour" of two areas of land in Webster, that have recently been purchased by Webster as open space. We were guided by Don Baird, a key player in the Friends of Webster Trails group. One area (near Pellet and Lake) would be outstanding for orienteering: very open woods and complex and interesting contour features. The other area, accessed from Whiting Rd and on the west side of Whiting Rd, was not as outstanding but it would still be of use for orienteering.
The problems are (a) Getting permission to orienteer on these parcels (right now, orienteering is on a list of activities specifically not permitted on this land), and (b) Where to start a meet (there is no place to park enough cars to have a meet).
Eventually, there will be a connection between Webster Park and the Whiting land, and there MAY be a connection between the Whiting land and the Pellet/Lake land, so we could potentially start a meet at Webster Park and utilize these other parcels. The distance and area involved is probably such that this would be a mini rogaine as opposed to a regular orienteering event. |

| Went for a short, but very hilly, run at Irondequoit Bay East. Right knee was bothering me yesterday after the long run I did yesterday. It felt OK while running, but after running today, it felt a bit sore again. I'll have to take it easy for a couple of days and see if it improves. |

| Semi long run, starting at Park Ave and Westminster. Park to Alexander to South, to Highland Park and through much of the park. South Ave to E. Henrietta to canal path, canal to Genesee Valley Park, river trail all the way into downtown, almost to Court St. Then worked my way back to Alexander and Park, and back to car. Took a couple of walking breaks of a few minutes each, and one slightly longer sitting / energy gel break at a nice bench near U of R. |
