Event: Great Brook State Farm
 

Event: WCOC Sessions Woods--NOD
 

Mostly at LL. Back and forth. Easy effort, but some climbing.

Not map, but I had a compass.

Arena is fetching. The forest is intimidating.

Event: Skyline Scramble
 

600 calories.

Level something, on the Precor.

Dips and pullups, to exhaustion.

Sandy and I went to the mountain. The final piece is on the board.

Survived the trip back on Air Gregorchuk from Gaithersburg. Which is fortunate, so NAOC 2012 is still a go.


Given the weather yesterday, survival was not a foregone conclusion. Luckily Scott did not continue on to NYC. He would have ended up in Kansas.

It was still light enough and I got in a longish run at Ridley, past the park office, etc.

Oh, yes--Unibroue makes me happy.

I actually used lunchtime to run. Which was nice.

Level 8, and 9mph at the end.

I'm in OK shape right now, somehow. Not great, but good enough that it is a disgrace to put forth "efforts" like Sunday's.

I do seem to have sustained a groin/lower abdominal strain. Not surprising--it has happened before when I've started to do some faster running. It is noticeable sometimes at night, when sleeping on my stomach.

Have to try to get over that.

3 x 8 dips, 2 x 8 pullups, and some situps and pushups after the run.

A solid level 2. Stopped off at the plaground to do some weightes.

Set off and it started raining. Which was fine, but then there was lightning. I got to the BU Bridge and decided to seek refuge among the tall buildings of Cambridgeport. Wandered around through there, then over the Mass Ave bridge, by the Science Museum, and back out to the Longfellow and back home.
