the Way of the Turtle

A LONG, HOT 3 3/4 HOURS...
16-17 Mile Run Along the Mohawk-Hudson Bikeway
Thursday, August 3, 2006

The heat and humidity were slightly less oppressive today, but still rough. Late in the morning I headed to Colonie Town Park and the Mohawk-Hudson Bikeway. Ran west to the Niskayuna town line, then back to the car, where I changed into a dry shirt and picked up fresh water bottles. Then I did a 5 mile out-and-back heading east on the bikepath. Spent the whole time wishing the predictions of rain would come true, but no luck... lots of clouds and far too much sun, but no rain. Overall, it was a tough run, especially the 2nd out-and-back. Looks like I have a lot of work to do before the Adirondack Marathon...
