| Sprint at Flying Pig. Sprints in parks at major events are less fun that events in actual forest. My navigation sucked even allowing for that. Enough said. |

Wednesday Mar 30 |
| Running 1:02:30 [3]8.62 mi (7:14 / mi) | |

| Memorial Park; 77F dropping to 73F, dewpoint steady at 68F. Uncomfortably hot from 10min through to 30min; then either I adapted or the slight temperature drop made it more comfortable. Anyone training for the WOC in Japan should come and do some running in Houston beforehand. Nice loop which I think might become a standard time trial:
yellow -short purple - yellow - orange - orange - back along purple - figure 8 through the old trails - purple to stream - red - double back on the shorter red section - longer red - blue - purple - purple - blue - red (longer) - purple across stream - orange shortcut - back on purple. It would make sense with a map... but unfortunately I haven't found an accurate map yet. |

| rice; 2 loops; 19:16, 19:22. 68F, 80% humidity, some breeze; evening. didn't feel too hot - I must be acclimating to these conditions to some extent. let's see how it goes for tomorrow (mid 80s forecast). |

| claire's apartment gym. must not do the leg press on these machines - it is clearly the source of my knee discomfort. next time, try squats with the free weights maybe. although should be ok to keep using it for calves. |
Sunday Mar 27 |
| Running 1:40:00 [3]13.0 mi (7:41 / mi) | |
| ahr:165 max:171 shoes: bruce |
| Memorial Park, northwest areas and the green trail. Some investigation of the northwest perimeter, but it only led to the road at Woodway and 610. Horse trails incredibly muddy. Green trail in far worse condition than last time I used it about a month ago - clearly has been overused while wet by bikes. 56F, blustery NW winds calming rapidly during the run, sunny. Nice run. |
