Week 2 of 16 is in the bag!

Weekdays

I took Monday off, and did a timed run for Tuesday's workout. Tuesday called for between 45 and 60 minutes, so I just went out on an unplanned route and ended up splitting the difference at 53 minutes. Wednesday was repeat day (groan). I found a stretch of Rabbit Run that is approximately 600m of uphill, and did the 3 repeats up, jogging back down. Thursday was too cold to be outside, so I took advantage of time when Elizabeth was a dance class to bang out close to 9 miles on the treadmill. I got in my 12.5mi long run outside on Friday morning, since the weekend called for skiing. The Friday forecast was RAIN, and while I dressed for it, it never materialized. Friday night BodyPump at the gym was followed by a delightful date with my wife at ZaZa's Cucina.

Weekend

We skied 9 runs as a family Saturday, and had the foresight to bring our gear home in case Sunday was a bust, which it was: while an overnight storm brought a bunch of snow, we didn't feel up to skiing in wet, heavy snow so slept in Sunday. The streets were plowed well enough for a nice Sunday afternoon run, though, which I just got in from: 7 miles to cap off the week.

    Gorges Ithaca Half Marathon 2023

    I’d quipped to a fellow runner who’d asked about my goals earlier, saying “I plan to do this somewhere between a training run and death,” which left things wide open for me.

    Syracuse Half Marathon 2023

    Syracuse was forecasted to be warm, in the high 60s by the time we’d finish. It doesn’t sound terribly warm, but since we’ve not been training in the heat, we’re not acclimated to it.
