Run: Long Previous Next

5/4/2014

10.4 mi

1:15:45

7:16 mi

Notes

Short "long" run again. For all intents and purposes, this'll be my attempt at a peak week I suppose

CONS

-SOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRREEEEEEE as FURK. Now I remember why frisbee after running is dumb. Oops

-Hilly (duh) but this time I didn't even get to enjoy downhills, they hurt like crap! (See Con #1)

PROS

-Got super close to a hawk that was chowing down on some dead squirrel in the road. Didn't fly away as I got close, stared me down the whole time. I was am arm's length and a half away from becoming hawk king, but damn that beak is sharp... I wasn't trying anything stupid!

-A lady rolled down her window at a stop sign as I was running past, said, "you're a great runner, I can tell!" I laughed, thanked her, and she vanished as mysteriously as she came! (She drove.)

-Weather was chill

-Plenty of dogs

The hawk bit you?

Paul Malek

No, but I was close enough to see very clearly how sharp that squirrel blood-covered beak was. It already had the taste for blood, didn't want to tempt it for more

I think we are going to Albany and not Oneonta

Paul Malek

Thanks for the heads up. Any idea how the meet looks? I think it's their first year doing it because I didn't see previous results. Makes no difference to me really but I'm sure Jarrett will want some company in the 8. Also Taylor is thinking of coming and thinks he's good for 9:40 so might be a good pacer for Rob!

I am sure it is fine, if albany's runners race, it will be good. SLU is going.

Paul Malek

Cool we'll almost definitely be there
