Garmin Connect Activity for 10 miles up to the lake and back

I haven't had a long run lately so I ran up to Lake Ontario. I ran 4.8 miles up to the lake and dipped my toes in the lake in 37:56, 7:54. I stopped to have a gel and hydrate for a couple of minutes. Then I ran back 5.2 miles in 44:14, 8:30 pace. A nice, sweet workout! Kudos to all the Rochester runners who ran the Boilermaker 15K in Utica, results here.

Later, after some much needed rest and a shower, CJ and I did laundry at a local laundromat.

Mon, 7/12: A rest day. CJ made a nice supper of chicken Florentine ... ymmm!

Tue, 7/13: 7.3 miles, 1:02:14, 8:31 pace, FF Distance Workout, 75F, 86% humidity, a few stops, no pain.

Garmin Connect Activity for Fleet Feet Distance Workout

CJ and I went down to Fleet Feet for our first Distance Workout. We ran up to Cobbs Hill for 800m repeats around the reservoir. I ran 5, the second was the fastest. Chris walked up to the base of the reservoir and back. It was certainly a sweet and sweaty workout, for sure.

Thu, 7/15: 6 miles, 59:37, 9:58 pace, Mendon Ponds, 82F, sunny, calm, some stops, no pain.

Garmin Connect Activity for Mendon Ponds Green & Blue Trails

CJ and I went down to Fleet Feet to help celebrate their 6th anniversary. We had some cake and vanilla ice cream. We worked it off by headed down to Mendon Ponds. I ran 6 miles on the Blue and Green trails. CJ hiked 3.3 miles on the Blue trail. Sweaty and sweet!

Fri, 7/16: 4.1 miles, 32:14, 7:52 pace, FF Happy Hour run, 80F, sunny, a bit windy and humid, 2 traffic stops, no pain.

CJ and I went down to Fleet Feet for the Friday night Happy Hour run. I did a 7:19 1st mile, then slowed as the heat got to me. I did an extra 2 miles looking for Chris. She did her own route, criss-crossing around for 2.3 miles. It's all good!

Sat, 7/17: A definite rest day for my feet. CJ and I motored to Cleveland for a baby shower / family picnic on Sunday. We stayed at a nice Hampton Inn & Suite on Engle Rd south of Cleveland. We didn't get to use the pool but enjoyed the nice and soft bed along with the quiet air conditioned room.

Keeping active, Doug
