| Red course at Nobscot. Drove out with Peter, who is understandably ecstatic about finally being able to run again. I'd done yellow courses there with Adam, but never any adanced courses. Some nice woods, but a funky map where contours and trails often seemed a little bit off; also hard to read the details, including the small trails. I had (another) really careless day, even though (because?) the orienteering was pretty easy. Botched 2 by getting hung up in dark green and then bailing out and starting over. Then took off the wrong way from 8 and couldn't figure out where I was for a long time - a very long time. |

| Meadows loop with Adam, who wanted to do it as sort of a time trial. Midday, hot and humid. |
| Trail/Road Run 32:02 [2]3.5 mi (9:08 / mi) | |
| |
| Then off to run along north side of the Mill R. and back, at a much slower pace. Lots of swimmers though, with the lack of rain, the water looked rather still and fetid. |

| Cheetah workout: 400x800x800x1600x800x800x400. Tough workout, not for wimps. It felt especially hard because of the short rests (about a minute after each 800, minute and a half after the 1600). I had to back off a bit from my planned pace on the 1600 and last two 800's to get through it. HR stil lower than expected. 1:27 (125), 3:07 (139), 3:04 (144), 6:30 (148), 3:09 (147), 3:07 (148), 1:25 (144). |

| Warm-up jog with the "orange" team that I coach for Sugarloaf Youth track. Then I had to lead 40 kids, age 6-13, in stretching exercises and running drills; then baton passing practice, then they all got to try a 4 x 100 relay. The meets start for real on Friday. |
| Trail/Road Run (long tempo) 49:25 [4]6.5 mi (7:35 / mi) | |

| Coaching ended too late to do the 5k race, but I had my racing flats, so I drove home and ran my Mill River loop pretty hard. Excellent time! I'm surprised how low my HR was. Is that good news because it means I have untapped capacity as I get fitter? Or is it another sad sign of aging? Left foot very sore after under the arch. I need to go ice it. 22:38, 11:16, 15:30 |

| On Holyoke Community College map, a NEOC map that hasn't been used for a meet in over 20 years and that I wanted to check out to see if it might be worth updating. I did part of a NEOC club champs course from 1983 that Peter posted a while back. (I did 1, 4, 5, 6, then lost contact sidehilling to 7 and probably stopped short; then straight back.) It was warm and buggy, so a bit hard to concentrate. Terrain is steep in parts and rocky almost everywhere: made for mostly walking to protect against a fall or a sprained ankle. Coming over a ridge going to 5 I hit an unmapped trail with white blazes: the M-M! (maybe 6-8 miles south of where I was on it yesterday at Mt Tom). Anyway, I satisfied my curiosity; but I don't expect to be coming back. |

| Leeds loop, with Margi. At her pace, which was fine since it was the first ride of the season and I had already done enough exercise. |
