I find out how good my Microspikes really are. |
Scott and I decide to slide down the ice! Note: the trail is actually a lot steeper than it looks. |

Food consumed: Nothing.
Notes: I
think running at 4:30 might be better for me.
Less stress in the mornings in terms of getting ready for work and such. In this case, I only got up because I had to
drive my parents to the airport at 6 a.m. and by the time I got home, I had
fifteen minutes to shower, dress, and book it to work.

Notes: Friday
morning runs are the way to go.
It's been a busy week, so I did not much time to post this. But as busy as I was, I still had time to train, so train I did.
My only cool training day was running the trails at Harriman State Park last weekend with Scott Martin and Garth, two ultrarunners from New York. For those who know me, I have a natural talent of getting lost and following imaginary trails. But thanks to Scott and Garth, they kept me on track, so I had a good, but slightly cold time along various sections of the park.
Our run was generally uneventful, but I did have one moment of hilarity. We had to do some ice/water crossings and most of the time, I was cautious and avoided the ice like I was playing the lava game. Unfortunately, towards the end of the run, we came across this ice section that had dog foot prints. I saw the dog a bit earlier and he looked sizeable, so I figured the ice was safe for me to walk on. However, I neglected to consider that he was on all fours and was able to distribute his weight on a greater surface, and I was tromp, tromp, tromping on my Microspike-clad sneakers. So my feet fell through, but fortunately the water wasn't deep and the ice water felt great. Bonus: My Roc-Lites did a great job at shedding water, so my feet were dry by the time we got back to our cars.
That's all I have time to write for now. I still haven't decided where to run this weekend, so if you have a cool idea, let me know and I will be happy to join. I just found out yesterday that I have time to do some long runs this weekend. As of now, I will probably do Harriman super duper early tomorrow and the Long Path in the Palisades on Sunday. Or maybe the reverse, I don't know. We'll see what happens when I get up in the morning.
Where my foot fell through the ice. Tee hee hee. |
Scott and Garth! Garth said he has been using those same gloves for two decades now. Now I don't feel so bad for wearing the same thermals for fifteen years. |
My silly iPhone decided that it was too cold to behave and kept on turning off even though it had more than enough battery, so I didn't take as many photos as I would have liked. Next time, I am bringing a real camera. |
