| Hid the bike behind a stonewall and ran trails in the Nathan Hale State Forest. Legs felt much better today than yesterday. |
| Note | |
| |
| Had every intention of going orienteering today, but the clothes dryer broke down last night so had to shop for a replacement, drag it home and install it. Ended up having to replace the exhaust duct system which meant another trip out to Home Depot. |

| Perfect day for a run or a long hike, but spent the whole day working on the "to do" list, rebuilt the gate to the south pasture, added 2' to the height of the fence around the garden to keep Spree from escaping, cut down and cut up a 45' cherry tree. Ended the evening with a quick hike around the neighborhood at moonrise. |

| orienteering 3:10:00 [2]** | |
| |
| Alma Arkansas Mini Rogaine. Got all 15 controls with only a minor bobble or two. Saw many of the most scenic points on the farm, and finally saw the sun for a few minutes for the first time since I got to Arkansas. Streams and waterfalls were as full as they ever will be after last nights downpours. Tornados were 150 miles from here. Jesse was worried but the map and control locations were very accurate. |
