| Running 1:04:00 [2] 7.76 mi (8:15 / mi) | |
| slept:6.5 | ||
| Went for a run during a relatively uninteresting part of the track meet. I was gone from the track for about an hour and they did not manage to complete the 4x100 and 4x400 relays. Not a good sign, when there were thunderstorms heading our way. And, sure enough, we were delayed for over 1.5 hours due to lightning over the lake (visible, but not threatening), even though there was no real rainfall - but when you have several hundred (maybe even 1000) kids at a meet, a delay is a must in that situation.
After a short re-start, the meet was ended, before the 1600 and 800 (among other events), so Chelsea only got to run the Steeplechase. She was halfway in an excellent 4:04, but sort of gave up and ran 8:47. My run took me via the rink for some i/o ops, then up Hard to the Hojack trail, took the Vosburg Hollow option all the way to Vosburg, then back to Klem. Back to the school via Joylene because when I first took the Hojack trail, I thought there was a new house next to our old house, which seemed impossible. As it turns out, our old house just had bright yellow siding placed on it. It looks like my deck (built in 1990) is still in great shape. | ||

| Ran during a break in the Brighton Relays. Nate actually set 2 PRs in the 1600m tonight - I'm not sure I've ever seen that done before. He ran 5:20 to lead off the 4x1600m relay, then came back to anchor the DMR in 5:15.
I ran from Brighton HS over to the path on the other side of 590 via Westfall, then looped back around on Monroe and the neighborhood near the school. Most was easy but I did 2x5min and 1x4min at a quicker stride rate (158-160 per minute, instead of lumbering along at 150). If I can up my natural turnover just a bit, I know I can make 7:30 pace feel real easy again. | ||

| Note | |
Uncle Tim got a couple of photos of Chelsea at last weekend's Steeplechase race in Batavia, during the Middle Champs. Here is one, I think (EDIT: I guess not, but maybe now):
And here is one where she really looks like a Steepler:

| Running 29:25 | |
| slept:6.25 weight:164lbs | ||
| Track meet at Penfield was canceled because their lousy track couldn't handle the downpour that came thru at 4pm.
So, I headed over to the ice rink where Zach was doing his 2nd day of tryouts for next year, and went for a run on the Thomas track (where the meet should have been scheduled). Not only was the track in great shape, it appears that NO rain fell at the track - the long jump pit was dry as a bone. After a little more than a mile warm-up, I did a 3200m tempo run on the track. I was planning on doing 2x1600m tempo, with a short break, but I decided to man-up after 3 laps, and just continue on. Plan was first mile under 7, second at 6:40. Actual was 6:50 and 6:35. w/dn was a little under a mile. | ||

Tuesday Apr 22 | ||
| Running 49:31 [2] 6.0 mi (8:15 / mi) | |
| slept:6.75 weight:163lbs | ||
| Couldn't get out at lunch, so I ran during Luke's T-Ball practice - some parents were impressed with his wheels. Ran over to 1000 Acre Swamp, went down Deer Run until it became impassable (at least with the new shoes on) at the same old spot. On the way back, I ran the trails to the left out to the meadow. There is actually some sweet white (at least at this time of the year) woods out there. I wonder if this could be mapped, or whether the passable route is too narrow. It could actually be used in conjunction with Town Hall park, which in addition to the ball fields and soccer fields, also has some woods (mostly not white though). I ran for almost 50 minutes without really repeating much, and I could have gone longer without repeating.
I didn't go too far into the woods north of the main swamp, and so I'm not sure how usable it is, and it may not have enough features, but there does seem to be a series of ruined stone fences. | ||
Monday Apr 21 | ||
| Running intervals 31:42 | |
| slept:7.0 | ||
| Ran with the team for the first part of track practice. With Chris out of town, taking Chelsea to Bulldog Days, I had to leave early to get Zach to hockey tryouts for next year.
10 min w/up The team did 1600, 1200, 800, 600, 400, 200. I had to leave after the 800, but first I ran: 6:09, 4:31, 3:02. Not too bad, perhaps I can go sub-20 for 5K now. I have to figure out when I can run a road race. Not much of a w/dn. | ||
Sunday Apr 20 | ||
| Running 36:00 [2] 4.0 mi (9:00 / mi) | |
| Various running around before and during the US Relay Champs at Mendon Ponds. Had to cut a hole around some fallen trees on a path near the model start, then put out some e-punch units, which took two trips, since I forgot to bring the extra units that went to the first controls and the road crossing control.
The race seemed to go quite well. Plenty of spectator opportunities kept things interesting. Nate had another MSP. I was too busy getting things ready to remind him to check the control codes, every time, and I don't think he read the meet notes. Zach zipped around the Jr Jr relay course quite quickly, taking the lead when the first 2 kids ran the wrong way from the first control. I was nervous for a few seconds when he was going a different way, but the others corrected. Then it was Luke's turn. He held on for 3rd place, which seems to have been updated to second in the official results, since someone on the 2nd place team missed a control. I'm not sure whether my biggest error of the weekend was not making sure the maps were collected at the end of the relay, or not realizing that all of the Jr Jr participants should get medals - a nice precedent was set last year. Of course, there are probably several other contending errors that I have repressed or something. Other than not being able to compete, I was very happy with the weekend. Our club is quite lucky to have so many dedicated volunteers. We may not compete for relay medals (yet?), but we must be one of the best volunteering clubs, and many of the key folks have been doing it for years (dare I say decades?). | ||
