| Long run on the canal, with the dogs. Started at Lyndon, headed east to Lock 30, and back. Sunny, around 40 degrees, with a bit of a wind from the SE.
Canal path surface was interesting. Essentially no trace of snow on the path up to the first cross road. After that, there was about 1.5 miles of nearly uninterrupted snow, about 1-2 inches in most spots. It wasn't a major impediment but it was definitely more annoying and more work/concentration than running on the bare gravel path. Then the snow stopped and it was bare again, at least through Lock 30. |

| Three ski runs at Bristol, before I had to report there for work. Another absolutely beautiful ski day. Cold, sunny, little wind, and outstanding conditions. |

| Long run, with Anne, from the Bayside on Irondequoit Bay. Ran the first 6+ miles of the round the bay route, then headed back (didn't have the time for the full round the bay today). A stiff wind off the lake made it surprisingly cold along the lakefront, on a day when it was sunny and downright mild anywhere away from the lake. It had to be 10 degrees cooler at the lake than at my house, which is only about 3 miles from the lake.
Time and distance includes two walking breaks. Excluding the walks, we covered 12.3 miles at 9:27/mile. |

| Mid-afternoon run on the canal path, from Lyndon, heading east. With the dogs. Nice day, and the path was in very good shape. No snow at all, no puddles, and only a very few damp areas. I tried to push the pace faster than I've been running lately, and succeeded, but it was kind of discouraging to work as hard as it felt like I was working and only wind up with a pace of 8:00/mile. |

| Skiing for the morning at Bristol with Cheryl. Very good conditions, for late March. Everything still open that was open in mid winter. Surprisingly cold though. No sun at all which made the visibility not the greatest, but not terrible either. |
