Sunday, July 19th to Saturday, July 25th

I ran 4 times this week, 23.3 miles

Sun & Mon: Rest days. The passion of real life sometimes gets in the way of running.

Tue: Two runs out at the called off Fleet Feet speed workout.
2.7 miles (7 laps of 600m), 21:13, 7:52 pace, 65F, mist to heavy rain with lightning, easy, no stops, no pain. I went back to FleetFeet when I was drenched. My trail shoes were like boats!
3.7 miles (9 laps of 600m), 30:00, 8:06 pace, 65F, after the storm, real easy to a little hard, no stops, no pain. I changed into another shirt and shoes and went back out. After I warmed up, I ran harder. The last full mile was 7:41 pace.

Wed: 6 miles, 49:32, 8:15 pace, Seneca-Titus-St Paul up to Carter-Ridge, 68F, cloudy, humid, real easy, no stops, no pain. I fought off the couch and got out for a run.

Fri: 4.1 miles, 31:52, 7:46 pace, Fleet Feet Happy Hour run, 68F, cloudy, humid, easy to a bit hard, no stops at all, no pain. I started out a bit slow, then kept the hammer down about half way the whole way.

Sat: 6.8 miles, 62:01 min, 9:07 pace, Seneca-Collinwood-Zoo Trail-Collinwood-Seneca run, 72F, sunny, humid, some stops, no pain. Really a tale of two runs. First was down the Zoo trail on the railroad tracks, 3.3 miles in 28:38, 8:41 pace. I took a 2 minute water break, then headed back taking the trail instead of the railroad tracks, 33:23, 9:32 pace. I took 3 walking water stops. I was dripping wet when I got back. A nice run with some nice mud.

The weather was the story later in the day. Two tornados hit in the afternoon. One in Corfu near Darien Lake. The other in Hilton. My youngest son was at Darien Lake and took a cell phone picture of the tornado.
