I ran 4 times this week, 33.2 miles

Sun: 16 miles, 2:19:06, 8:41 pace, 26F, Seneca-St Paul-Stutson St-Beach-Edgemere, Easy, dawn to daylight, calm, no pain. A long run that raged out of control as I just kept on running to see what was around the next corner. I started out before sunrise and was on the Stutson St bridge soon after the sun rose. Then I ran down to Ontario Beach Park, up Beach Ave and Edgemere Drive until I decided to turn around at 8 miles. I ran pretty good for 8 miles, 1:05:48, 8:14 pace. I slowed down after 12 miles, 1:41:07, 8:26 pace. I really bonked after that. I didn't take any Gu or water so I ran out of energy, pure and simple.

After some rest, I took my oldest son back to Ithaca College. A long drive on a beautiful day.

Mon: Rest day. I signed up for the Spring Forward 15K on Sunday, April 5th, and the Cat's Half Marathon on Saturday, April 11th. Both races will be from Mendon Ponds Park through the rolling hills of Mendon. Should be fun! I changed my oil in my apartment parking lot using my new hydraulic jack.

Tue: 6.1 miles, FF Cobbs Hills run, 3 loops, 55F, sunny, calm, a little hard, 2 stops, no pain. Nice! Since it was St. Patrick's Day, I went out to the Otter Lodge for a wee bit of Guinness with some friends. The bagpipes sounded nice!

Wed: 7 miles, 74:05, 10:35 pace, Mendon Ponds green trail, 48F, calm, some sprinkles, no pain. I got lost a few times. I found out that running the hills during the daylight is just as hard as during the night. But hopefully it will strengthen my legs.

Thu: Went out to Six Pockets with a friend from high school who was in town from KY. I tried to tape Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice but no joy. I will have to watch them online.

Fri: 4.1 miles, 31:51, 7:46 pace, FF Happy Hour run, 32F, clear, calm, fast, no stops, no pain. I was tired and the couch tried to suck me in ... but I went out and did my run ... pretty fast too. I think I was running fast to keep warm! The final episodes of Battlestar Galactica were on the SciFi channel. I will check them out online. Let me just say ... I frakking enjoyed this series!

Sat: A rest day ... why do I still feel like a slug? Could it be that it's a beautiful spring day and I think I should be out there running? I also thought of the Rochester contingent that went down to the Hat Run 50K in Maryland. I went out to Newark to wish my daughter a happy 21st birthday.
