Off-Road Running long (endurance) 1:40:00 [4] ** 13.0 km (7:42 / km) +400m 6:40 / km
shoes: Adidas Supernova

Long loop at FC East. Tried road shoes and orthotics, which worked pretty well till my feet got wet--orthotics get real slippery and uncomfortable. Pretty shaky at the start, usually do the long runs after a rest day. Felt OK at the end, but I'm surprised that I don't have more endurance. Just missing something...

Road Running (recovery) 50:00 [3] 6.0 mi (8:20 / mi)
shoes: Adidas Supernova

Around the block--still don't feel well. Not sure if its heat or sickness or what...

Golf 2:00:00 [2] 3.0 mi (40:00 / mi)

Orienteering race 1:38:00 [5] **** 5.9 km (16:37 / km) +155m 14:41 / km
shoes: Montrail Highlander

Mt Penn - Very weird day. Had to rush to event early to take over epunch table, and then dealt with extremely strong t-storm with hail and nearby lightning strikes. After getting all the equipment back up and running, it was 1:30 by the time I could start, so I changed from Red to Green. Running after doing epunch all day has not worked well in the past and this was particularly trying. Got off to a bad start and plodded through most controls OK. But one massive boom on #5 took over 30 minutes. Excuses: it was so damp that I couldn't see--every time I would stop running my glasses would fog over. Lessons: either run first, or find someone to take over epunch duties early. Also, take a towel--or perhaps there is some sort of treatment to prevent fogging on glasses?

Road Running (pace) 30:00 [3] 3.5 mi (8:34 / mi)
shoes: Adidas Supernova

Quick run around the block--leaving shortly thereafter on trip. Fartlek kind of running just to limber everything up.

Tuesday Jul 22, 2008 #

Road Running (pace) 48:00 [4] 6.0 mi (8:00 / mi)
shoes: Adidas Supernova

Bollinger loop with frequent up-pace stretches and short recoveries. Pretty intense--just too used to jogging I guess.

Monday Jul 21, 2008 #

Golf 2:00:00 [2] 3.0 mi (40:00 / mi)

A not very fast round in the heat. Played well (more lucky than good).

Sunday Jul 20, 2008 #

Road Running (pace) 35:00 [4] 3.5 mi (10:00 / mi)
shoes: Adidas Supernova

Some speed work-- 2-3 minute pace runs with short walk/jog recovery. Way hot and humid-this is about as much as I can take in this kind of weather. The rest of the workout is putting fenceposts in for the garden.

Off-Road Running (endurance) 1:30:00 [5] ** 12.0 km (7:30 / km)
shoes: Vasque Velocity

Tried one of my usual long FC runs, but didn't feel like usual. Very hot, dead legs, stumbling around--ugh... Vasque shoes are just too big and getting sloppy. As for the conditioning, perhaps I still haven't quite recovered from the hiking trip. Tried carrying a water bottle in hand the whole way. Not much fun--ordered hydration pack to test out next time. Definitely need to get better at this to have any chance of doing well in the rogaine next month.
(distance a guess)

Road Running (speed) 49:00 [4] 6.0 mi (8:10 / mi)
shoes: Adidas Supernova

Usual around the block with lots of 100-200 fast pace runs thrown in with walk/jog recovery. Sucking wind--particularly on up hill runs. Slow training isn't going to do it...

Orienteering race 1:19:00 [5] *** 7.5 mi (10:32 / mi) +190m 9:46 / mi
shoes: Montrail Highlander

Fair Hill--one of my more favorite places. Kind of like a really long sprint with lots of fields/trails/etc. Still felt kind of dead from hiking trip. Lost a few minutes getting behind a pack of horses on a trail...

Road Running (speed/recovery) 58:00 [3] 6.0 mi (9:40 / mi)
shoes: Adidas Supernova

Although the activity seems a bit contradictory, the intent is to recover from the effects of the week-long hiking--which seems to be complete loss of leg speed. Sort of makes sense, as hiking would be the ultimate 'slow' pace activity. Anthing faster than a plot seems hard right now.
