Training Log Archive: RLShadow

Rec center, 3 games only because we were having our son and grandson over for an early dinner.

Warm weather, or at least high humidity, training. Our outdoor home thermometer said it was 74 degrees F and 99% RH. I didn't really need to check a psychro chart to know that calculates to 74 degrees DP (but I did check, and it did).

So the run was short, and another reason it was short is that the radar showed another batch of rain coming very shortly.

Hit around with Sumedha, who I hadn't played with in ages. She texted me that there was a work picnic at Greece Canal Park, and she thought there might be courts there (there were), so did I want to stop by and give her a chance to play a little. Due to schedules and other reasons, she said she's hardly played at all lately.

After pickleball, I went for a run from Henpeck Park. Canal path west to Manitou Rd, north to Ridge Rd, east to Elmgrove, and back to where I started. I was thinking that maybe I could find a trail into Greece Canal Park from Manitou, and I did see one but it looked pretty overgrown and I was concerned about ticks. Then I thought there might be an E-W road from Manitou to Elmgrove, between Ridgeway and Ridge, but there wasn't. Hence, all that way up to Ridge. Ridge Rd wasn't TOO bad as there was usually a sidewalk on one side or the other, but there were a few sections with no sidewalk. I was really fading at the end -- no surprise considering how little I've run lately.

AP said 384 feet of climb and there was no way it was that much. I changed it to 100 feet which still seems a bit high.

Webster Rec, indoors. Had one very competitive game, which I managed to be on the winning side of, 11-9. Other games were lower level but none were terrible.
