Running 55:27 [3] 6.48 mi (8:33 / mi)
shoes: Blue Asics Gel-Excite 4
To Boston Common, two laps around, and back. We were taking it at a nice relaxed pace, which was good because this was one of the longest runs I've done in a while.

Nordic Skiing 46:48 [3] 6.43 mi (7:17 / mi)
Wowza not a good race but also only my third one. I didn't have time for a warmup, so just started off and told myself I'd take the first lap easy. Being in a race makes it hard for me to ease into it, so I was just thrashing the whole time. I fell once, and lost balance a lot. Eventually realized this wasn't getting me anywhere, so I backed off and found more of a rhythm. Felt smooth at the end.
Did a few laps with the Hall family afterwards :) they're all much better skiers than I am!

Anterior tibialis sore on both sides. Strange. Maybe it's the shoes I wore today?

Went out to Middleton for Saturday night through Sunday and neglected to bring proper athletic attire, but got in a bit of basketball shooting and 1v1. The quick movements are good for me because I'm not as light on my feet as I'd like to be

From apartment hunting to the climbing gym. Apartment hunting may be all over! We're submitting applications this weekend and hopefully everything goes smoothly. It's a lovely apartment and semi-affordable too.
Climbing 1:00:00 [2]
Tried a fun looking V3. I got further and further every time I tried. If it stays up for a while I may end up getting it!

Note
I had a suspicion that my stove burner was on. Naturally, I placed my entire hand on it to test it out. I was right. It was on.
Thankfully my reaction time was immediate and I put on ice immediately. No blistering, and only minor burns.

Felt pretty sick last night - killer headache and overall just exhausted. I felt better this morning, but got worse throughout the day. Thought about taking the night off, but training > rest and I'm taking vitamins and drinking tea and trying to get good sleep. Slept a lot last night. This felt a little fast for being a bit sick, but I'm glad I got it in.

Late night because 11pm kan jam and a lot going on before that in the evening.
Talked to an engineer who works on renewable energy projects for about 45 minutes which was cool. He had some good advice and thoughts that he was happy to share with me. It seems like many professionals are excited to talk with college students. That's been my experience at least. And it's really good, because I have no idea what I'm doing or where I'm going, so talking with people and hearing their experiences and thoughts is very enlightening and helpful.

shoes: Blue Asics Gel-Excite 4
Don't really know what my time was, but it was substantially over 6:00. This first race was a test, and I failed it. 0%. Very frustrating. But also motivating. I need to channel this energy into drive. I'm doing this again in a month or so, and the goal is to pass.

Running from the bus stop to orienteering. Ugh. The orienteering training started at 3pm and by this point it was after 4. Frustrated. After a disappointing race, I missed my first bus at Harvard since I wasn't familiar with the tunnel and making my way around. Then I had to stay super vigilant on the bus to be on the lookout for my stop so that I could request it. Got off on the right stop thank goodness. At least I got to chat with my sister during the ordeal.

Orienteering 15:32 [3] 1.17 mi (13:17 / mi)

Vilppu was already out picking up controls by the time I got there. Put on socks and changed shoes quickly, then went out. After my not-so-great afternoon, and feeling frantic from trying to make it to orienteering, this wasn't great. I wasn't very focused. The actual training designed by Becky was great though, and I wish I had been there 100%. It's a small park, but a nice one. I may make the trek out there again sometime when I have no time constraints to do some training.
Afterwards, had pizza and a debrief at the Hall house. Becky gave goal setting sheets. I already have some goals written down, but I think this follows the process a little more, so I'll articulate my goals with that too.

Loon Mountain, NH. Brought Dylan with me, and he was on black diamonds by lunchtime. Not too shabby for his first day ever on skis.

To, at, and from Reggie Lewis. I definitely ran further than 2.5 miles, but most of it was indoors on the 200m track so I'm blaming the watch.

Ha so much for yesterday. But on a side note, today I finally got up and going early! Woo!

Nordic Skiing 46:07 [3] 2.45 mi (18:49 / mi)
First weekly ski race! Conditions were very loose sugary snow so kinda tough but still lots of fun. I'm not sure how far the actual race part was, but it was 4 laps and I finished in 23:36. Did 1 and a bit of a lap to warm up, and 1 lap to cool down after. Was close to two other women (Hannah and Katie) for the last couple laps in the race, and pushed hard to stay with them. I need to work on my form because I think it's a big factor. I guess that'll get better with more skiing though.

To the climbing gym. Cold

Been a while, so this wasn't my best day. Made it up a tricky V1 though, where going for the last hold was a little bit nerve wracking because the wall was sloped inward, so my foot slipping would have meant hitting my face a lot on the way down

Week plan:
Mon -- strength in am, running in pm
Tue -- agility in am, ski (conditions?) in pm
Wed -- strength in am, run in pm
Thu -- agility in am, run in pm
Fri -- strength in am, run in pm,
Sat -- ski, agility in pm
Sun -- track race, strength (climbing?) in pm
We'll see how many times I'm able to get myself out of bed early enough to hit the gym before work. This is my ideal situation though.

Was going to get to the gym but looking at housing for next year took a good 4 hours which was super stressful because I don't know what I am doing in the future and thinking about it is blehhhh. Got in some jumps to destress and get in at least a bit of training.

Nordic Skiing 44:48 [3] 6.38 mi (7:01 / mi)
Ugggghhh I decided to Uber over to Weston because it would be faster but it took the Uber 20 minutes to pick me up and then the ride was still in traffic and slow, so it took way too long. About an hour and fifteen minutes to get there from when I called for the Uber. The skiing was so much fun though!! Very glad I went. Even by myself, I was smiling as I skied around. Got there too late for the race, but am going to try again next week. Met Betty Ann, who recorded the timing, and she gave me some more info on the racing series. I wanted to ski for longer, but knew it would be long in coming back. And it was. I was fed up with Uber so opted for the 30 minute walk from Weston ski track to the end of the green line. My phone was on 1% battery so I had to memorize the directions (thankfully only a few turns) and hope for the best. It was a little sketchy walking around unfamiliar roads alone at night. Made it to the T, and had a somewhat shorter walk from the Fenway stop back to campus.
Moral: skiing is fun, commuting is not.
