Long run on Wellesley Island in the Thousand Islands. Walking warm up from my parents house until getting to the paved road, then mostly followed the TI Half Marathon route I did in the spring with my brother.
Route started with loop around the older club house which is partially on unpaved then back out to the main road, past the main clubhouse, back out to the main road then quickly onto the "old" main road which has great views of the river.
Come back out to the main road, and then quickly onto Peel Dock Road which again runs right along the river. It's also the hilliest section. Runs past the self serve farm stand and then under the big Thousand Islands Bridge and then eventually back to the main road, not too far from Thousand Islands Park. Didn't quite run to TI Park , just enough so that when I ran back I'd have 14 miles without doing the clubhouse loop again.
First mile easy paced warm up at 9:06, then a little faster at 8:12, then the rest going from 7:59 down to 7:40 at the end.
Weather was great then had rest of the day to hang out. Alex had stayed up and completed the online New York state boater safety course so today he took Tim and I for a quick spin around some of the Islands. Normally my brother Jim would also be here but he's in Sweden for an Iron Man Tri - which he successfully completed! (3 DNFs at Lake Placid, 1 finish in Quebec and now one in Sweden, that is persistence)
