Ran into Howie as I was leaving a meeting at noon, and he was headed over to run, so I ran with him. We went up the river to Elmwood and back the other side. I tried to avoid slowing him down as much as possible, but was actually able to talk while we ran. Here is the route.

Hadn't been in the pool in 3 weeks, and I could sure tell - it was a sluggish struggle to get thru the workout.

Ran the 2006 permanent course at Chestnut Ridge between Chelsea's basketball games at Canisius College. Had time to grab 13 controls. Never did spot one marker, even though I was standing on the boulder that was the mapped feature.

Finally, a return to the Oven Door - picked a good day to return. Ran up 96 to the mall - couldn't hang with the big guys, but they stayed on Turk Hill anyway, while the course was supposed to cut up a power line behind Dick's - waited for the next 2 guys and we headed up and over the hill. We ran out of trail, so we had to go back and meet up with Mike R, who led a dozen of us thru the woods - mostly on various definitions of trail, but some off-trail, too. Came out on his property, crossed to SCR and ran trails to Turk Hill and back Garnsey. Averaged under 7 min/mi the last 2.8 from Turk Hill (Darren got things going) - of course, that included going down Garnsey.

Around Greece before Chelsea's soccer game - they lost: started with only 11 players; most of the missing were at the state qualifier track meet, so obviously some speed was missing - not sure why the manager allowed the game to be rescheduled for a Friday (especially with this conflict).

GTA with Scott, Erik and Vinnie (small turnout with the Corporate Challenge tonight). Erik kept gradually picking up the pace until I started to fade - breaking point was the 6:30 average pace along Monroe to Goodman - couldn't really recover from that.

Missed a short birdie putt on 7. 45, despite 4 pars - several wasted strokes.

Unplanned rest day. Meetings prevented a swim at lunchtime, then it was straight to Nate's soccer game, 1/2 inning of Chlesea's softball game, and home for lunch/dinner around 9.
