2 miler

A nice easy 2 miles.

Falling Leaves 2009 (14K)

Since the marathon is 1 week away I took it easy today. I stayed back with Dave and did not run too hard. I kept up with him for about 7 miles then I took off and ran hard for the last mile. I thought my time would be slow, however I beat my time last year by a couple of minutes. My time was 1:05:37,which is a pace of 7:33. I finished 86 out of 353. I was 14 out of 33 for my age.

A nice easy 3!

I ran a smooth three miles tonight after work. I felt no ill effects from the long run. Actually, I felt better.

I messed up!

Instead of the 15 miles, we did 24 today. I took a wrong turn and ended up in Adams Center. What a long ass run. However , we walked a bit towards the end. I don't feel that bad.

5.5 miler

Today I ran after school. I ran up to IHC and did part of the Turkey Day Run loop. This weekend I will run 14 miles for my long run. Next Sunday I am running Falling Leaves in Utica. However, I am not sure how to run it. It is a 14K race with a HUGE hill. Since Wineglass is one weeks after Falling Leaves, I don't know if I should race it or run it at marathon pace. I will think about it.

7.2 Miles

I ran from 8:00 to about 9:00 tonight for a total of 7.2 miles.

18 Miler

Eric and I ran an early morning run in the rain. We took a different route, which made the run go by quicker. Total miles was 18.5.

5 1/2 Miles

I ran for about 40 minutes around the high school neighborhood tonight. I drove it out afterwords and it was about 5.6 miles

5.2 miler

I ran the Barben Ave route tonight. I went easy since I am still a little sore from my long run.

20 MIler

Eric and I ran a 20 miler today. Eric took a crap in the bushes. ...and yes he used leaves. I started out OK, but was really sore towards the end. I think I ran too fast yesterday. I was wondering if It would be dumb to run the Rochester Marathon this weekend since I ran 20 today?

4 Mile Road Race

The Skaneateles Road Race was excellent this year. It started in town, ran through the business section, headed through a new upscale housing development,in the woods along a nature trail, and finished at the fairgrounds. There were some pretty tough hills. The nature trail, which was shaded, was the best part. My finish time was 26.47. That averages out to a 6:42 mile. I finished 43 out of 214, 5th in my age group.

6.5 Miler

I ran to the high school and ran around the the football field to watch the game. I will be running a 4 mile race in Skaneateles on Sunday, so my long run will be on Monday with Eric. Becky and the kids will go, since there is a small carnival there.

7 Miler with hills

I ran to Wiley and did some hill repeats again. The total run including hills was 7 miles. I took yesterday off since we went to Chinatown in Ottawa. It was small but nice. However, a couple stores were closed. We did eat Dim Sum at a nice Chinese restaurant.
