Training Log Archive: Spike

Work commute. The trip home was in a dark misty rain.

I also helped out with Geo Awareness Week. Turnout was ok but down a bit from the last two years (I think). The people who did the course seemed to be successful and nobody came back upset.

After the event, we met at Dempseys for dinnner and some discussion of The Possum Trot. Eric S is meet director.

I also spent some time looking at Jagge's latest - very cool.

Also, this one should take you to a GPS track of a run I did a few years ago at the start of basketball season:

Trail run at Rockcrusher with the map (but not orienteering, just looking at it now and then).

I ran through a burned area. Yesterday, I ran through the smoke. There were still some smoldering tree limbs in the middle of the burnt grassy area.

I listened to the Radio Oringen podcast with Tove Alexandersson. It was kind of interesting after about 12-20 minutes.

200+ meters of climb.

I drew a course on the Rockcrusher map and ran it at a steady but not hard pace. For the first time in a week+ I felt ok. That was nice.

The course was all on trails and with plenty of climb (a quick count shows that I climbed about 275 meters).

I got started a little late becuase I was playing around with Jagge's latest creation.

Some extra trail running.

When I got back to the car I checked the KU football score. KU wasn't very far behind. I listened to the radio coverage on the way home and then saw the last few minutes on TV. I guess it goes without saying that they didn't win. But, losing by just 6 is a surprise.

Work commute.

Work commute. I encountered some nutty drivers on the way home.

I skipped the Trailhawks hills but ran at Clinton on my own. I stuck to trails.

We had very high winds during the afternoon and the winds were still strong when I ran in the dark. I came across a few trees blown down on the trail. I also met two skunks, one tvattbjorn and a bunch of deer.

My legs felt odd. Not seg, but not normal.
