Road run, on a sunny but cool (low 20's) day. With Anne. From home; Maple, to Klem to Drum to Herman to Pellet to Lake to Baker to Vosburg to Adams to Backus, to Klem, Maple, and home. Wore these shoes for the first time; felt OK but I sensed an impending blister on the inside arch of my right foot (where I seem to be prone to blisters).

Road run on a day that was colder than it was supposed to be (15 degrees; forecast said afternoon highs around 24). From home, up Maple to Klem to Drumm, Drumm to Vosburg, down Vosburg a ways, then back. On the way back, took Maple to the Rt. 104 path, to Bay, Woodland, and home. I wasn't real happy about my post-run weight, which I'm thinking can be blamed on a combination of dinner at a BBQ place on Penfield Rd last night, where I ate too much, and having too many pancakes for breakfast this morning. Will have to change my ways ...

Short run, partly on the Hojack trail. Felt a bit worn down from yesterday's medium-fast, medium-long run.

Fairly long run (by my current standards of "long run") on the canal. Shoen Place east, to exactly across the canal from Carol Moran's house, and return. I was pushing the pace on the way back (avg 8:16/mile going back, vs 8:47/mile going out), but may have pushed too hard because I kind of ran out of gas and decided to walk the last half mile.

Very nice day; mid 40's, sunny, not much wind. I was way overdressed. A very few wet, muddy, or snowy parts on the canal path, otherwise, excellent footing.

Road run on a sunny but cool (low 20's) afternoon. Maple to Klem to Drumm, Hojack trail for a while, then back Drumm, Klem, Maple.

Fairly lame treadmill workout, in B-313 of OCD where I work part time. Small fitness center; two treadmills, two stationary bikes, and one elliptical, plus a few free weights and two weight machines. First time I had tried doing anything there. Set the treadmill on a random hill workout, from 0% to 6.4% incline. With my IPod on an NPR podcast, I managed to get in 30 minutes without getting way too bored. A slight plus is that it has a view of the outside -- not a great view, looking out on RR tracks and a parking lot, with the hill from Weiland Rd up to Ridgeway beyond the parking lot. Still, better than looking at a wall.

I'm sure I'll utilize the treadmill again, on days like today when I'm too wimpy to venture outside.
