Saturday May 12 | ||
| Running 45:00 [1] | |
| Walked/ran a 5k race with Isabel and Rachael. Rachael was not too into the running, and it is looking as though she's perhaps not so keen on running the Billygoat after all. Which is fine.
I also ran a bit beforehand, from home to Central Square, ahead of the girls, to get cash. | ||
Friday May 11 | ||
| Yoga 55:00 [1] | |
| Some new poses that I just really suck at. I'm quite inflexible. At yesterday's session (different teacher), there were also some new "reflexology" poses that involved bending the toes and ankles a lot. | ||
Thursday May 10 | ||
| Strength 45:00 [3] | |
| OK, Today is the Day I get back on the horse. Went to the gym. Went shopping, got good sub-G type food. Trying to feel the bliss. This is it!
Also hoping to avoid catching Dave's throat bug. Fruit & echinacea & tea. I suppose there are studies showing that echinacea is of no medical use. | ||

| Note | |
| Can you say SLUMP?
I am pretty oversubscribed at the moment and feeling panicked about work & related matters. | ||
| Note | |
| Are there any O maps of Griffith Park? | ||

Yesterday the girls and I ran around the block barefoot to start toughening our feet (F) up for the Billygoat. The current plan is that I'll be doing the goat with Isabel (9) & Rachael (10). Our stretch goal is to have an overtime finish. Our hoped-for goal is to make it to the aid station (halfway through) in 3.5 hours, and *possibly* (in overtime) the point 3/4 of the way through the course where we pass near the finish. Key strategic elements: keep the blood sugar up during the whole race, and keep the brains engaged by checking off features (Isabel's strength) and doing pacing-related calculations (Rachael's strength). Also: zero navigational errors, and don't get distracted by other people (going slow helps with both of those!). Isabel and Rachael have worked together well as a team on their own in the past, developing a tactic of alternating main responsibility for navigation on each leg. Training plan: * 2-3 orienteering events (CSU park-O's, NEOC meet) * run around barefoot * review maps of Thacher * play soccer (stamina) * core strength (= gymnastics for Isabel) * hike or stair climb on Saturday? They have some history together: 
Climbing Monadnock in 2006 
Little Blue Hills Traverse a couple years ago 
Playing soccer, 2004 
Halloween, before Johnny Damon betrayed us 
First day of kindergarten, 2002 | ||
| Orienteering race 30:00 [3] | |
| Actually I have no idea how long it took me. Rachael & Isabel did the beginner course together (they were bummed it was so easy); David and Theron did it on their own. Amisi & Fidel did the course with their mom Marguerite - am pretty psyched to finally get Marguerite out there! | ||
| C • Good luck, Isabel and Rachael! 2 | ||
