Running 1:03:51 7.75 mi (8:14 / mi) +93m 7:57 / mi
First two miles with Tom, then the rest on my lonesome. So cold! Should have worn a jacket instead of just a vest.

XC skiing 1:38:23 14.08 mi (6:59 / mi) +434m 6:23 / mi
Yay! First ski of the season! Up at Galena summit. Kinda solid/icy/bobbly, but really fine for a first ski!
We outfitted Tom first with skate boots and my skate skis, but his feet don't like skate boots or skiing. They cramp up just a few minutes in. So he switched to classic and then we did a 7k loop, with me kinda flitting backwards and forwards to stay together. One big hill that a good challenge, did it 2.5 times and definitely noticed the altitude!

After an amazing lamb burger, hit the trails again for an afternoon ski. We did the same loop as some other members of Tom's extended family, but in opposite direction so we met up with them after 17 minute or so and turned around and headed back with them. They're the Maine/Boise contingent of the family so kinda knew what they were doing and they were impressed Tom could keep up after just a year of skiing - woo! =)
Then one last hilly 3.5k loop to finish off the tired-leg day!

Running 11:09 [2] 1.41 mi (7:55 / mi) +6m 7:48 / mi
Over to Hailey, ID for a Turkey Trot 5k. This was a little warmup around town, checking out the beginning of the trail section that they said would be icy.
Running race 19:14 [4] 3.08 mi (6:15 / mi) +14m 6:09 / mi
Hailey Turkey Trot 5k!
Wow, that was maybe the most awkward start to a 5k ever. Everyone was just milling about this square, not at all ordered or even facing the right direction, then the horn blew. I went around the ski shop one way, other people cut another way, but it worked out ok after about 200m anyways.
Then! The snowy/icy section. Icebugs would have been awesome for this part, as it was, always looking for the bits of the trail that looked like they would give some traction. I kinda liked this part, but it was definitely different. One guy lost his Yaktrak and had to go back for it!
Ok race, although didn't feel very strong. Then again, it was at 5500 ft or so, so between that and the ice, perhaps not so bad. Still, wimpy for a Turkey Trot compared to the Poughkeepsie options of a hilly 5 mile or 16 mile!

Monday morning early run. Huh, really should have had a light for this one. Even doing the loop backwards the bike path was still totally dark when I got there.

Ran from home over to the orienteering meet at Gabriel park. Good to get the run in! Cool to head up the staircase up from the river in SW too.
Orienteering 15:34 [3] 1.49 mi (10:27 / mi) +133m 8:11 / mi
And sprint-o in Gabriel park before CROC members appreciation party at the Lucky Lab pub in Multnomah. Fun little course, I totally could not find the streamer at #2! Then neat to meet more people and spy on others maps from the past year. And also hear about Sue and Abra's time at MBTO champs!

Running hills 1:19:03 [2] 8.58 mi (9:13 / mi) +428m 7:59 / mi
Out to Powell Butte - started on Harold and 128th to do the last mile there running instead of driving. Allowed for a warm up before heading straight up the butte!
Did 4 butte ascents, on Hawthorne, Fernwood + Douglas Fir, something else and then Hawtorne trail again. Icy towards the top. On the one little trail I did 3rd, fell several times on the way down, just no tracking and a canted trail just trying to spill you downhill... One other runner, two dog walkers. Butte was wintery-windy at the top for sure.

Standard 8mi of Springwater-Oaks Bottom, with a stop at QFC in Sellwood on the way home to pick up breakfast foods. So final 1.5 miles was cradling a pack of bagels and cream cheese. Chilly out, hands were fumbling-cold by the end.

Boo! Zumba cancelled. Didn't feel like running, so roller skied. Leaf pickup day scheduled for Sat morning meant less road to play with than usual in Eastmoreland...

Running 39:00 [2] 4.8 mi (8:07 / mi) +34m 7:57 / mi
Totally gross weather out and no lunch runners emailed that they'd also join for a noon run. A brief internal battle about weather I should go out and run in the sleet, but decided to be a tough cookie and just do it. Promised myself I got to sit in the sauna afterwards for as long as I wanted to. =) Same ~5 mi loop Eastmoreland-Springwater-Sellwood loop as Monday.

Picked up Mark V. from his hotel downtown, and straight-out to Mount Tabor for a short, hard, hilly, windy, chilly run. And most awesomely, starting from moment of pick up through lunch, got to hear all about Mark's really cool neat results on galaxy evolution. Very exciting stuff, so glad he was able to visit!!

Over to and up Mt. Tabor for dry land ski training with Teacup Lake Nordic!
Running 8:00 [1] 0.87 mi (9:12 / mi) +230m 5:03 / mi
I was totally nervous in the parking lot 10 min early with my bike, chilling, seeing little evidence that a ski training was about to happen. But then folks came out of the woodworked, introduced myself, and we were off for a little warm-up joggeroo.

Hiking 19:49 [2] 0.9 mi (22:01 / mi) +92m 16:43 / mi
Ski walking/bounding. Wow, haven't done that in forever! Good to at least think about technique a bit. And yep, that guy who looked familiar was from Western Mass Bill Koch days. Holy moly small world.

Midday rollerski in the not-dry. Streets were clear enough of leaves to ski, but just wet/gritty. Skis probably should get cleaned...

Running 1:01:26 [2] 7.69 mi (7:59 / mi) +105m 7:40 / mi
Drizzly run around Springwater - Oaks Bottom loop, after waiting around long enough for it to get light. Because the time changed, but that doesn't mean my internal clock did...
Legs tired from race yesterday! Particularly Achilles/calves.

A bit of a warm up and cool down at Lincoln Park.
Orienteering 31:46 [4] 5.0 km (6:21 / km) +90m 5:50 / km
Woo, orienteering! Carpooled with Abra and Sue up to WIOL #1 at Lincoln Park, Seattle.
Long sprinty style with no going through green colors allowed. But that's ok because really it wouldn't be faster. Well, probably twice I would have busted a move through but refrained due to the rule.
Clean on big stuff for me, messy on some of the details. Could have saved some time from *all* the time being sure what way to exit a control. Otherwise, I would have liked to read the trail under the line once, would have been a better route.
Happy to get out orienteering!
