A loop in the park and then a loop in the neighborhood. Had originally planned to go to a park today but will do that tomorrow instead. Cloudy, damp, but not actually raining.

I may have been overestimating the time I spent stretching in the past. Oh well.

A nice trip past the golf course, around the east end of the lake, down the parkway, and through the cemetery. Sunny day.

Need to double check the time it takes me to stretch. I may have overestimated it.

To and from the tax office.

First time at the Y. Probably took a little longer than it should due to inexperience with the machines.

Orienteering race 25:22 [5]

Memory-O after the BFLO annual meeting. No time to warm up. (Kids, don't try this at home.) Had to return to the map twice for the 18 controls withing 30 minutes. A couple of mental lapses that could have saved time. Sunny and the ground was snow covered but not deep.

Note

Met with fitness advisor at the Y and got the intro to the machines. Decided if I am going to do strength exercises, I should at least do them properly. Still need to find time in the day.

Picked up map hike markers in Chestnut Ridge Park. A lovely day, sunny, with temps in the mid to upper 30's. Not much green yet but only a little leftover snow. Found this nice waterfall which I had never seen before.

Ran when I could and walked when I couldn't run.

To and from the nearest library. Returned "The Housekeeper and the Professor". Loved it. First bike ride of the season. Would like to do a lot this year.

Nice day. Ran in late afternoon. One lap cw of park after entering at Jewett. Lots of people on the ring road. Forgot I could run on the cinder path.

Ran across the Manhattan bridge to Manhattan and then up a few blocks on the Bowery until half the time was used up then did a 180 and ran back to the bridge and across into Bklyn. Nice views. Will post photos as soon as I figure out how.

Road Race race 25:00 [5] 5.0 km (5:00 / km)
shoes: Asics 2150

Interesting 5k race in Prospect Park, Brooklyn. Not a lot of old farts there. Mostly young people (not that there is anything wrong with that). Not happy with my time. Killer hill in the middle. Ended up 2nd in my age group but no age group awards so I'll have to be happy with 50th overall in a small field.

A loop in the neighborhood followed by one lap of the park. Rain had just abated - no one else out.

Stretched after walking the dogs and picking up litter uncovered when the snow melted. Not sure how much good the stretching did but it felt good.

Ran down to the train station to pick up tickets for Friday's trip to NYC. Got there in about 36 minutes. Station agent was in a talkative mood and asked if I was a runner. (Yes) Then he asked if I ran in the Shamrock Run. (Yes) Turns out his uncle founded the race over 30 years ago. He asked if I had heard of the Ridge Walk in Wellsville. (Are you listening Dave, Walt, and Patty?) His cabin is apparently right on the trail.

Then I ran another 7 minutes which took me up to the end of the free fare zone so I purchased my senior citizen reduced fare ticket and rode the trolley back home.

Note

Had planned to go pick up map hike markers in Chestnut Ridge Park with Ken Vail but it was pretty snowy so wimped out. Ken went anyway and got about half of them. I'm waiting for better weather.

Road Race race 42:45 [5] 8.0 km (5:21 / km)
shoes: Asics 2150

Really a sloppy day for a race. Windy, rainy, 45 degrees. Did first split in 7:56 and second in 8:05 and then decided I wasn't going to have a good time so just cruised the rest of the time. Remaining splits were 8:42, 9:19, 8:44. Then at the finish found out that I finished 4th in my age group. I coulda been a contender. Really liked the course - very industrial. Felt comfortable with the clothing during the race. Worst part was getting from the community center to the car. Plus the beer tent was cold. But so was the beer :-).

Really not into it. Thinking more seriously of going to the gym and doing it right. If it's worth doing .... Will probably wait until after NYC trip.

Was going to run in the cemetery but at the gate there was a sign that the gates closed at 4:00 and I didn't want to take a chance of getting locked in so I ran a loop on the east side of Main Street through the poorer parts of town. Very interesting.

Walked the dogs after cool down walk but didn't include that in the time. They are so pokey.
