Trails at Grafton Lakes State Park plus a couple of shortcuts through the woods and a bit on dirt roads. Ran on a few new trails which aren't on the O-map - one cut for snowmobiles and a couple for mtn bikes. Unfortunately, they run through previously trailless areas so make things less good for advanced orienteering. Collected GPS data so now I can add them to the map. Beautiful day - mostly sunny, about 80F and much drier than it's been. Will declare myself no longer "injured" since the ribs didn't bother me too much. Did get a few minor blisters.

Field checking (control sites and updating the map) at Colonie Town Park for our NOD event (one week before the "official" NOD weekend so we can go to the Sprint Finals). Actually out about 3:15 but will only log an hour. Warm, but the humidity is finally down. Skeeters were out in force.

3 x 0.25 with 0.25mi recovery. Splits 1:43, 2:14, 1:48, 2:29, 1:46. 80F and very humid. Intended to to 4 but decided not to push in the heat.

The rest of the run. Rt. 66S. Stopped running at the bottom of the hill and walked the rest of the way home (0.17mi - not included in distance or time). Ribs only a minor nuisance.

As tempting as it was to wait until it was 95F with a dew point in the 70s to run, I managed to get myself up for a rare early morning run. Dew point was about 70F, air temp 71F so muggy but not hot. Shaker Museum Rd. to the T'way bridge, back via Howes Rd. and Albany Tpke. Picked up the pace for a few short segments but not enough to qualify as speed work. Ribs still sore.
