| Yoga 1:00:00 [1] | |
| weight:130lbs | ||
| First yoga in a long time. Very nice. Weirdly, felt ill 40 minutes into it, like I couldn't handle it. Had some water and powered on. Glad to have done it. There were some poses new to me, like where you do a downward facing dog with your heels against the wall, then lift one leg high with the ball of the foot against the wall.
Got a pleasant surprise at the scale. Current health concern is asthma. Every evening when I leave the AC at work and head home through the thick warm air, I start to have trouble breathing and end up taking one or two puffs of Ventolin, which I haven't had to do for years. It seems to have started in CO with allergies, and once I start taking the asthma medicine I seem to get hooked on it and it takes a while to wean myself. Must remember to bring it for the rogaine. | ||

| Dreamed about being on a rogaine last night. It was frustrating - lots of stops... I think John was my partner. | ||

| Just remembered:
My nephew Charlie just turned 6. He loves his cousin David so much! On the relay, he had the third leg, and I went along with him and David to make sure that he'd be able to finish it. Somehow it came up that the relay was a fundraiser for the US Team. Charlie asked, "Is the US Team poor?" David explained that they needed money to travel across the ocean to competitions. Charlie said he had a collection of money at home, and he felt bad that he hadn't brought it with him to give to the team. He's so cute!!! Here's a couple pictures of Charlie in July at Plimoth Plantation. He went into one of the Native American huts on his own and came out holding this small Wampanoag girl by the hand.

| Orienteering race 30:32 [3] | |
| Sprint is not my thing. Had trouble with a couple controls. | ||
| Note | |
| Walked the white relay course with the young cousins, David and Doug on their third leg.
John Fredrickson and Valerie Meyer are just so... competent! They did a super job of including an easier course for the younger kids at the last minute. 6 teams (18 people) participated, so it was worth it! And, my niece and nephew got their first real taste of official orienteering, with number bibs and everything. John created this extra course at the last minute; I only talked to him about it the day before. Yet by the time the relays started, the kids were fully integrated: their maps were available along with the original relays maps; they started at the same time, etc. And Valerie did the e-magic necessary to allow seamless use of electronic punching. John F really throws a great party - the relays were super fun, and everyone loved the punching races afterward. | ||
