No running in the North Country today. Original plan was to stop for a run on the way home, but I didn't end up leaving until 5:45. After Luke won the consolation game of his tourney, I drove over to the next town to visit with my 7th/8th grade teacher.

Easy run from the hotel in Canton between Luke's hockey games in Potsdam. Ran Rt 68 to the first right, then found a St. Lawrence U trail that took me past the campus and back out to another road and I finished the loop.

Buffalo Turkey Trot - my 20th consecutive finish and 25th time that I've been in the official results.

A surprisingly decent run, given my lack of running over the last few weeks. Splits:
6:37
6:55
6:56
6:41
6:34

All four kids ran (14 of us total), with Nate breaking 30 and Chelsea running with Luke (who went 46:00, including a 7:40 last mile!). Zach ran with me for a while, but fell back going up the hill.

We had a shot at winning the family team competition (second place was a lock), but PJ blew both calfs out during the third mile, while running just ahead of me.

Good w/up - to the Y porta-potties and back, then around the block and back to the start the long way.

w/dn was with nate, back out just about to the 4 mile mark and then in with Luke and Chelsea.

Damn. I forgot to run today.

I had to much going on and then ran out of gas to top it off. The gas issue was because I was late picking up Zach, then the po-po were blocking Gravel Rd and caused a long detour for me and I ran out of gas less than 1/4 mile from the station. So, Zach and I walked to the rink to wait for Chris to drop Luke off and rescue us, since she was again without her cell.

Stopped at Cobbs Hill on the way home from work and ran Park-Alexander-East-etc. Here is the route.

Did 5 min w/up
5 x 3 min tempo w/1 min jog recovery
5 min w/dn

Just a little tune-up to try to salvage Thursday's race after so much time off.

Dropped Luke at his basketball game at RIT, then ran around the campus for a bit. First ran some of the official nature trails, then cut over to a surface called "Miller Rd" on Google Maps - it led out to Bailey Rd, but I wasn't sure how far from East River, so I turned around. On the way back I cut through some of the woods to see if they were usable for orienteering - there seems to be too much water to be ideal. Had to loop a little more to use up all of the time before the game.

Luke's team led the whole way until losing by one in the last minute or so. Then it was on to Zach's hockey game at SIR, 4-2 over Perinton (while Chris watched Luke's second game). This all happened during the Bills game, so I had to watch via TiVo-delay.
