I ran 5 times this week.

Sun: 4.1 miles, 2 x Seneca Ave, 34:03, 8:19 pace, 18F, easy, calm, no stops, no pain. It snowed about 4 to 6 inches overnight so I got out early and got a nice, easy run in before I went out to Newark to see my kids and Lyons to see my father. Karen went back to Houghton College. About 11AM I realized that I totally forgot about the Polar Cat #3 in Webster. Oh well!

Mon: 4.2 miles, 2 x Seneca Ave, 32:56, 7:50 pace, 26F, easy, dusk, calm, no stops, no pain. A nightly run is becoming a healthy habit.

Tue: 6 miles, Fleet Feet Cobbs Hill run, 25F and falling, easy, night, windy, light snow, 3 loops, 3 stops, no pain. The cold snap was making its way in, the temp was falling, light snow was falling, the wind was picking up. I took it easy, no IT band wrap, slipping and sliding on the sidewalks to and from. I went out to The Otter Lodge afterward with fellow FF runners.

Wed: Rest Day. Didn't get as much done as I would have liked. I gave blood today for the 66th time (64th according to the official record). My pulse was 50, blood pressure was 116/64. You can sign up to donate here.

Thu: 4.1 miles, Seneca-Titus-St Paul-Zoo-Collingwood-Seneca run, 10F, calm, no stops, no pain. Nice run out in the cold, sweet! I did my laundry ... how exciting!

Fri: 4.1 miles, Fleet Feet Happy Hour run, 5F, a little windy, easy, multiple stops, no pain, 8:47 pace. It was windy during the day sending the wind chills plummeting below zero. But either I was shielded during the run or the wind died down. I was overdressed ... drenched when I got back to Fleet Feet.

Sat: Rest Day. I took my oldest son, Michael, back to Ithaca College. I stopped and saw my father at the Wayne County Nursing Home. I also enriched the local economy. I thought about going out for a run but vegged instead.

Keeping active, Doug
