 | Walking (Green Up Day!) 2:00:00 [1] 3.0 mi (39:59 / mi) | |
| |
| Up and down rte 11 picking up all the trash along the highway. The state highway crew came thru yesterday to pick up litter, and Ruthie and I still collected 15 bags (200#) of beer cans and bottles, McD trash, cigarette packs and assorted pieces of cars. Guess they only stick to the immediate shoulder. As a whole, our town effort yielded over 2 tons of roadside trash.
Not an aerobic workout, but my back was killing me by the end from bending over and picking up, and dragging the bags along. Would have been nice if it weren't raining; but good AR suffering training. |
Friday May 2 |
| Road Running (Rte 11 hills) 40:00 [3] 3.7 mi (10:48 / mi) | |

| Up the hill and on up Fletcher to the top of the road. Back and around some short roads on the other side of 11. Checking out the trash situation so we know where to pick up tomorrow on Green-Up Day. Usual beer cans and lots of McD's garbage -- we're just the right distance for the trash to get tossed out the car window. |

Monday Apr 28 |
| Trail Running (Upsala, SE) 1:00:00 [1] 3 km (20:00 / km) | |
| |
| Running the forest around Boris' apt. Mostly studying the map and matching it to terrain. Trying to figure out what rock features are mapped as faces, boulders, or not at all (most). |
Sunday Apr 27 |
| O - competition race (Tiomila) 58:25 [5] 5.7 km (10:15 / km) | |
| |
| 9th leg of relay. Negotiated a short, daylight leg, so had one of the easier runs. Knowing the difficulty of Swedish forests at times, and past experience with 10-20 minute mistakes, ran this conservatively. Stayed focused the entire run and kept in contact with the map and terrain. Backing off a bit paid off, as the run was clean.
Enjoyed the race; good weather, terrain, map and especially the CSU company. |
