Running 1:20:17 [2] 14.9 km (5:23 / km) +185m 5:04 / km
ahr:140 max:150 shoes: R-Reebok Light Blue

Chesterbrook, summerhill and south of there, loops with Vadim. A house in Summerhill still looks nice and is still available, and we met the neighbors on this run and they were nice.

Running 8:15 [2] 2.06 km (4:00 / km) +20m 3:49 / km
ahr:171 max:178 shoes: R-Reebok Light Blue

A few surges of varying length (~3, 3, 2, 1 minutes)

Running (Grass, Paved, Forest, Tra) 1:45:00 [1] ** 15.0 km (7:00 / km) +250m 6:28 / km
ahr:135 max:155 shoes: R-Reebok Light Blue

A loop around some roads & a few trails in West/North Audubon. One older neighborhood is looking a little cute, but a little sketchy (too many dogs for one thing.) A new neighborhood section was a fairly pretty McMansion neighborhood, but with very, very few trees, and a bit of lot-edge-of-hill compression (e.g. kick a ball in your back yard, and it'll stop 50 (vertical) meters down the hill.) In one of the old street sections, somebody's really big (but fortunately old) dog ran all the way out into the road threatening me. Got in a screaming match with the dog for a few seconds before it would back down. Really upset at the owner, but didn't spot him/her. It's a public road - can you keep you dogs from threatening pedestrians on it? Esp. dogs that weigh more than most pedestrians?

I think someone was saying throw rocks at the dog, but there's an ammunition problem there when you're in the middle of a paved road before you realize the dog is not going to stop at his property line (either by training or electric collar...)

Running 10:00 [2] 1.0 mi (10:00 / mi)
shoes: R-Reebok Light Blue

AM On the way to the kids last day of school - had little time, but decided a 10 minute run was better than 0.

Running 10:00 [2] 1.0 mi (10:00 / mi)
shoes: R-Reebok Light Blue

Some neighborhood loops before doing intervals with the kids

Running intervals 10:00 [4] 2.5 km (4:00 / km)
shoes: R-Reebok Light Blue

Intervals with the kids - set them up with shorter loops and raced them.
3x450m in ~1:40-1:41 (around the block on the sidewalk) with the kids going back and forth across the middle of the block. Then a few ~1-minute races where I picked a farther away object to run out & back to, or had to run around the car more times, etc... AJ (age 5) is already faster than me in the first ~3 meters. I understand the distance over which your kids can outrun you grows with age. Hopefully I'll hold 100m until at least age 12, and 5km until he's 16... We'll see.

Running 33:57 [2] 5.41 km (6:17 / km) +95m 5:46 / km
ahr:136 max:154 shoes: R-Reebok Light Blue

The sketchy run: I ran though some semi-public church grounds, then the medium green nearby, then someone's backyard, then a kindergarten parking lot, then through an industrial area, then between some houses down to some railroad tracks, then through some trash-strewn medium green between the river and the tracks, then along the tracks, then over a tree-crushed portion of a barbed wire fence into the same kindergartens back playground, to avoid some rail worker in a truck...

Strength (Hip & Ankle) 5:00 [1]

Tuesday Dec 12, 2006 #

Running (Trails, grass, paved) 1:08:09 [2] 11.02 km (6:11 / km) +180m 5:43 / km
ahr:135 max:149 shoes: R-Reebok Light Blue

VF Park south, Glenhardie, Brookmead Farms & Chesterbrook. Loop from possible new townhouse, but the townhouse sucked. I wonder if we'll move again or not... Trying to decide before AJ starts 1st grade, so we don't move his schools twice...
