| Ran the Bog Slog orienteering event at St. Edward State Park. The course was tough, with a fair amount of climb and several legs with significant travel through fairly heavy forest. I lost only a few minutes, which is pretty good, considering that the map was a bit sketchy in a few places. The course was an heirloom from the first Bog Slog in 1980, when Bruce Wolfe won in about 60 minutes. |
 | Running - Terrain (and trail) 23:00 [2]1.5 km (15:20 / km) +80m 12:06 / km | |

| Re-ran the first few controls of course 4, shadowing Kyle Haddad-Fonda. |

| Warm up run for orienteering at Point Defiance. When I changed into my O' shoes, my ankle hurt a lot, so I changed back into my running shoes, and it didn't bother me at all--amazing what a difference some support makes. |

| |
| Orienteering at Point Defiance. I felt pretty good, despite being officially on break from training. I guess running around delivering packages is training, whether I want it to be or not. The course was nice and runnable, mostly on trails with no bingo controls. I probably didn't lose more than a minute in errors. |
 | Running - Trail / Grass (trail) 10:00 [2]1.05 mi (9:31 / mi) | |
| |
| Jogging warm down and search for an overdue party of girls and a mother. (The police had just shown up and told the meet director that there was a sexual predator living in the park.) I ran into them as they were going from control 5 to control 6. They were from Pathfinder School, and one of the girls was navigating and doing a very fine job of orienting the map and figuring out which way to go at each potential decision point. |

| Delivering packages as a seasonal driver helper for UPS. Did about 240 stops in 6.5 hours. I didn't run a step, just walked quickly. I worked with Brad today in Laurelhurst, so it was quite hilly, with lots of climbing stairs. |
