Training Log Archive: bishop22

We put Nate on the plane (well, saw him thru the security checkpoint) a little before lunch, so I didn't have time to run during lunch. He should arrive in Gotenburg late tomorrow AM to begin his orienteering adventure: JWOC, training camp, Fin 5 and O-RIngen over the next four weeks.

I was at work until just past 7, but I was able to exercise some discipline and get out the door. I ran over to the Bayview Y and down the trails to the bay, wandered around a bit more than planned (the trails looked quite different with the summer weeds growing up and out), and popped out onto Empire at Daytona. I did 4 x 1 min quick turnover (162, 172, 168, 165) on the way out and 4 more on the way back (164, 170, 172, 176).

Event: ROC - 2nd Annual Adventure Run
 

No chance for a run today. Our little valedictorian had to give a speech at graduation, and we had plenty of last minute things to do before heading down there. It was straight from graduation (3 hours long - almost an hour just giving out the diplomas) to Olive Garden for lunch (per Chelsea's request) to a graduation party, leaving me too full to think about running.

Chelsea's speech went quite well, especially considering this is not something she ever does (well, I guess she did give a brief speech at the basketball banquet, which had about 1/40th of the audience - the Eastman Theater was pretty much packed for this). Her friend gave a very nice speech also, including Marv Levy's "where would you rather be that right here, right now" quote.

Got up early to hit the golf course, but thunderstorms moved in and my effort was thwarted. So, I ended up running over to Irondequoit to catch nephew Johnny's U-8 lacrosse game - his team was up from Corning. Nate gave me a 2:30 head start and made up almost 2 minutes before I got stuck at a light at 590, just over 3 miles in, and we ran most of the rest together. The heat and humidity made it a tough go - we started right at noon.

Johnny looked pretty small out there - I think he is a year younger than many of the kids. His team was more than a match for Fairport in the game I saw (7-0). They also won their other two games easily.

Since we are being moved from City Centre to Xerox Square (in fact, this note is being posted from the 18th floor), I "worked from home" this AM, which meant that I was able to fit in 9 holes with Zach and Luke after taking care of business early. Only moderately better than last night, although I did make a couple of 4-foot putts. Posted a 45 which was primarily the result of sloppiness on 1 and finding the water on 3, for a pair of 7s - responded with 5 straight 4s.

Zach and Luke played well from 200 and 100 yards, respectively. I think Zach was about 57 and Luke was about 63 (he had an 8-stroke limit, which he hit 4 times).

Weight was measured at the Y, after swimming.

4:04/8:07 (despite having to circle swim with some very slow people for most of the time).

The Bayview Y schedule on the web said lap swim until 1:15 on Fridays, so I went there, instead of Monroe, where the pool closes at 1 on weekdays, on the way in to the office. Unfortunately, it appears that in the summer, lap swim ends at 1. So, my workout was curtailed after just 1 of the 200s

GTA, with an excellent turnout - 13 in the main group (including Nate), 3 in the women's aux, plus Howie just missed the start. The main route is here - I tacked on a bit after missing the light at Clinton, and my shortcut attempt backfired. I was suffering due to overeating last night, coupled with an usually quick pace up East Ave - I was about 7 min pace for the 0.9 mi stretch from Culver to Goodman, and the big boys, with Nate along for the ride, were about a minute ahead.

Nice 7am mimosa at the end, to celebrate Vinny and Shannon's upcoming nuptials (this weekend in NYC).

Horrible putting - I thought I was past that - led to an awful 96, finishing up as a seven-some as darkness fell. Our six-some was having to wait on the twosome in front of us.

Played with a Xerox retiree (Bill S) and a jeweler whose shop repaired my Garmin band, neither of whom I had met before, plus Bill R for awhile. We joined Larry L, Steve C and Chris (of no backswing fame) while things were stacked up on 13, then Jason caught us after we waited on 16.

Work got in the way of a lunchtime run and Chris had bought pizza before Z and I got home, so I had an undisciplined day off.

Dropped Zach off for his Jr Golf clinic and hopped on the course for 9 holes. I put up another 40, which got combined with the 40 on Sunday and was posted as an 80, besting the 81 that I posted for the first 18 on Sunday.

Zach waited near the 7th green after his clinic and played the last 2 holes with us.

HR tied record low this AM - it was a split second from being 35.

The Downtown Y pool was in its annual shutdown mode today, so I drove over to the Monroe Y and its empty 4-lane, 20-yard pool. The lifeguard must get quite bored there.

4:08/8:19 (split is estimated from 14-lap split, instead of actual 12.5 lap split)
1:27,32,31,31,30,32 (on 1:55)
2:46,41,37 (3x160 pim on 3:15)

20-yard pool meant that I could go exactly 1 mile.

C • Heart rate 1

Easy run after dropping Zach off for his soccer game at Greece Arcadia. Cut thru the "State Sanctuary" land over to Badgerow, and back (route) almost in time for kickoff.

Exciting game - Z played goal the first half and left with a 2-0 lead. Then he played defense for much of the second half, and the team gave up the tying goal immediately after he left the game. He was inserted at midfield for the last three minutes, and scored the winner - going top shelf after picking the cross out of the air - with less than 30 seconds left in the game.
