| night-o champs, blue course. as you can see I took pretty safe routes. a good run except for a few minutes on 9 & 10. no good attackpoint on 9, and I didn't know where I was along the trail (ran back and forth once to try and figure out) when I crossed it, since I had changed course to go around a steep bank/cliff. caught by the trail behind, and came back in from a bend. In retrospect I can see some better choices for this one. on 10 I aimed off way too far to the left since I was worried about missing the wall. somehow I ended up spending some time running west, and hit the trail before the wall.
I didn't have any complaints about the mapping, though the laser-print job suffered from the usual contours-in-green problem, which made the map difficult to read at times.
I got second to Joe B (he's in good shape) who ran 60 minutes. I don't think I had enough mistakes to account for the 8 minutes, especially since he made some too. wyatt was third with 77.
my back hurt a little before I started, but it wasn't any worse after, and the next morning it feels better than it did all weekend...ok but now I'll really start resting. |

| walking and hanging controls at baldwin hill. that made my back hurt a lot, I think it would actually have been better to just jog. |

| my ortho guy said he didn't think the bulging disk was very serious, and if anything, the one below it was more abnormal. he suggested that I take 4-6 weeks of rest. I think I'll still run the night-o champs though.
prolonged rest is sortof a difficult thing to handle; but what's 2 more months after I've already wasted 14? will I be healthy again after 6 weeks? it could happen. would I be healthy now If I had just rested completely for 14 months? I think so, but how could I have known... |

| I haven't run much recently since my back was bothering me a little bit. the first report from my MRI apparently shows that I have a bulging disc. I'm taking the images to my orthopaedic dude tommorrow so he can look at them. |
