 | Orienteering 50:00 [2] 3.5 km (14:17 / km) | |
| |
| Mt Tom. Tired after squash with Adam, so more walking than jogging. Chose control locations for the advanced points south of the road. Ran out of daylight, so need to go back for one more outing to pick advanced points north of the road. Great day to be out in the woods: accurate map, open woods. |

| Tarryville red. An excellent run on a fine fall day: just one 30 second miss, when I went to the southern dot knoll first on #8. Fast course in spite of over 350 m of climb. |

| Orienteering 49:52 [3] 4.8 km (10:23 / km) +175m 8:47 / km | |
| |
| Same course at Norwottuck, 6 minutes faster. At this point, I hardly need to look at the map or compass, so it made for good physical training, and allowed me to focus more on micro-route choice. (But again I missed the junk car, losing almost two minutes; not sure what's going on with that.) |

| grass 35:52 [3] 4.75 mi (7:33 / mi) | |
| |
| 5 laps around UMass fields, hard enough to get my heartrate up. (7:25, 7:06, 6:55, 6:39, 7:44) My foot's doing a lot better, but I need to keep being careful not to aggravate it. Overall, my legs felt pretty good except for a bit of tendonitis in my lower right hamstring -- an injury I used to get on and off, but not for at least ten years. More confirmation for the Nietzschean theory of eternal recurrence. |

| At Smith, after stretching and lifting. Cold rain and darkness made staying inside a no-brainer. But my legs feel OK. |
