Gerbil at Y. 1 @ 7mph; 1 @ 7.1-8.0; 1 @ 8.0 - 7.2 - 7.5; 4 strides @ 9.
Tried to get some heart rate readings, but the treadmill did not cooperate easily. I had to slow to 4mph, then there was a delay in getting the readings. So, after mile 2 it said 148 (but that was about a minute after finishing it). After mile 3, it was over 170, again with a delay, and it dropped to 158 over the next 20-30 seconds. And that is coming off 8 min pace, so it's ridiculously high.

Event: CNYO Highland Forest
 

w/up with Nate.

My w/dn consisted solely of a walk around the outside of the buidling.

CNYO Turkey-O at Highland Forest. What a disaster! Couldn't decipher the trails on the way to C1 and took a great big backwards Z route to get there. At least it was quite pretty up on the hill, with a bit of snow falling and sticking to the trees. Made every mistake in the book on the way to C4, then just went thru the motions the rest of the way.

My (gloved) hands and feet were very cold by the end. Running thru creeks with thin cotton socks in November does not work well for me. If I were much slower, I think some frostbite would have set in.

At least I was able to go home and watch the Bills win on TiVo-delay.

Long - Splits

Easy run on an old Ellison Park map. The park was FLOODED, the likes of which I only usually see in the spring. The best part of the high waters what that there weren't too many loose dogs around, especially unusual for a mid-Saturday-afternoon. And none of the dogs that were loose even tried to bite me. I guess that made it sort of boring.

I stumbled on an unmapped open field near the SE corner of the park. I'm not sure if it was just inside park property, or just outside. The map has no details whatsoever in that area. I really should learn mapping so I can put the vegetation on this map. Not even the open land is mapped accurately.

GTA with Erik, Frank, JV, Jim and Vinnie. I was only able to stay up for the first mile. After that I did 4 x 2 min fairly hard but it took 4 min of real easy jogging to recover after each. Since I lost sight of them, I reran last week's route, but they weren't back, so I added a little over a mile loop (at 9 min pace).

A little slower than Tuesday. No surprise since my arms were a little heavy and I ran this AM.

Mostly easy, although I did do some 100 on / 100 off during the last 1.5, since I went thru halfway in exactly 16 min. and did not want to go over 32.

Not nearly as brutal as last time, but still awfully slow, and I was more winded than I should have been at these speeds.
