Late morning run on the Genesee river trail, from Charlotte to Lake Ave. and back. Mid 40's, slight wind, not a bad day.

Morning run in Ellison Wetlands with Homer and with the dog across the street, who we're dog-sitting for, for a couple of weeks. Many of the trails were very slick; even the dogs slid out a couple of times, and they have 4 feet instead of 2, a much lower weight, and a much lower center of gravity than I do. So I was pretty cautious. Between being cautious, and contending with the hills, I didn't set a very impressive pace, but I sure felt like I was working hard. Kind of a short run (actually, very short run), because I had run fairly hard yesterday, and am planning on doing a medium long run tomorrow.

Mid-day run on a fairly unpleasant day (moderate rain, about 45 degrees). I have a goal of running a respectable marathon time in the spring, and I figured the only way I can do that is to learn how to HTFU and run in weather than might not be the greatest.

The run started from near Winton and Empire. Ran south on Winton to East, then towards downtown, to Goodman, with a small loop to Park Ave. and back to East Ave., then back the way I came. The run included 2x1mile at very slightly faster than normal pace (around 7:50/mile each).

Morning run with Homer on a nice cool (mid 30's or so) day. But sunny and little wind, so it was fairly pleasant. Ran from home, to Maple, Rt 104 path, to 5ML Rd, north on 5ML for a bit, then headed back.
