Longest run in quite a while. I've decided to do the Dam Good trail race at Letchworth (14 miles on the Finger Lakes trail, out and back from the dam parking lot) next Sunday, so I decided that I should at least have a 10 mile run under my belt before the race. Of course, this was a very flat 10-miler, which is a far cry from a very hilly 14-miler. But hopefully better than not having done it.

Route today was pretty much out and back on the Rt 104 bike path.

C • Dam 3

Third attempt at pickleball. Can't say I'm getting any better. Played four games, with two different partners, and lost all four. Only one was a major blowout though.

On the plus side, no injuries (for trailsnail to razz me about).

C • 4 games... 2

Ellison Wetlands, with trailsnail. Haven't run hills this tough in a while ...

We're taking care of a couple of dogs for a week while their owner is at Chautauqua. One of them (Hershey) is mid sized, fairly thin and fit, and seems full of pep (but well behaved as well). I decided to take her for a short run, after I got back from Ellison Wetlands, to see how she did running. She did quite well; I'll have to work with her some more when we have her next time.

First run I've done, other than orienteering, and warmup for orienteering, in about a week, I think.

Evening run in the Park / East Ave. area. Started pretty slow but then sped up a bit as the run went on.
