Note
Rest day. Had a very late night last night (2:30 am arrival home), and an early morning this morning, helping with registration at the Mendon trail run, after which I took some pictures, and got my shoes and socks pretty soaked from the rain / wet snow mix, plus my choice of inadequate footwear.
Had hoped to get to the night-O -- but our grandson's Montessori school had an international dinner for the students and parents and grandparents, that Cheryl wanted to go to, and I kind of did too. The dinner was early, at 4:00, so I still had hopes of getting to the night-O, but by the time we got home it was 5:40. I quick checked on the web site to find out when the meet started, and when I saw that it was a 6:05 mass start, I knew there was no way to make it ...

Running hills (Treadmill) 42:00 [2] 3.43 mi (12:15 / mi) +1018ft 9:34 / mi
shoes: Saucony Progrid Hurricane 11
Absolutely miserable day, so I couldn't get myself to do an outside run. Went to the Webster rec center, which is very much under construction, and will be for about a year, I understand. I did a totally uphill treadmill workout, with the incline, for the most part, being between 5.0 and 6.5 %.

Running hills (Trails) 34:44 [4] 3.19 mi (10:53 / mi) +424ft 9:40 / mi
max:160 shoes: New Balance 749 (trail)
Ellison Wetlands. Whenever I go for a while without running at the Wetlands, I forget how steep the hills are, and how many there are. :) Things were made more tricky today by a generous coating of leaves on the trails, making me much more cautious than normal on the many steep descents, due to the impaired traction from the leaves.

Running 45:33 [3] 4.71 mi (9:40 / mi) +124ft 9:26 / mi
max:150 shoes: Montrail Mountain Masochist
Trail run, with Homer, at Whiting Road. Covered nearly every trail, doing kind of a figure 8.
AP said the climb was 124 feet. The GPS software said it was 765 feet -- that almost always gives climbs that are far overstated (the exception being if there are very substantial, reasonably continuous climbs involved -- like climbing Pike's Peak or Mt. Marcy -- when the GPS software gives very believable climbs). So I know it was less than 765 feet, but I feel it had to be more than 124 feet, also. Something like 200-250 "feels" more like it.
