| Hanging controls for the Stumble. Got out early, so beautiful weather for the most part. I didn't do the controls in the order of the Stumble so don't know quite how the racers will see the course, but most of the woods I was in were beauitful, with very colorful fungi growing all over the place. Did all the controls on the Short and a few on the Long plus hauled some water. |

| My knee was okay. Every so often a "wrong" step would result in sharp pain but taking it easy and wearing an elastic sleeve seemed to work for the most part. It was a very odd feeling though to be favoring my good knee; I hadn't realized quite how often I compensated for my knee brace by always taking the big down or up steps with my left leg. So strange to decide that I felt more stable jumping down onto my right knee or using that leg to climb down an embankment or up over logs. |

| No TNT. First miss ever (and we're almost at a year) when I was home. Going to be hard to keep the weight off if I can't run. |

| Seemed relatively easy; perhaps I'm not doing things right or perhaps the instructor started us off easy. |

| TNT - Jim and Clem went off on their own; Sandy, Dasha, Bob and I started together but we all peeled off and went different distances. Did 4 miles on the drive but started to get some pain so walked a bit. Ran the whole hill home instead.
Left knee very swollen; might have to not run for a few days. :(
Printed maps and programmed epunches for the upcoming Stumble. Really bummed that I can't run. Maybe since I'm helping, I can sweet talk my way into a towel so I can keep my collection complete! |

| C • No Stumble?! 2 |

| Started a yoga class at school; first time I've ever tried a real class and not just working out of a book. Nice stretches and several poses that worked my arms. Can't bend my knees very far so have to modify a few considerably. |

| C • Hmm, still 113. I didn't offer... 2 |

| Couldn't figure out why my arms were so sore today until I remembered a doozy of a fall I took yesterday when I caught my foot under some barbed wire and went sprawling. No damage, but obviously my arms must have taken my weight. |

| orienteering race 1:11:12 [4]5.1 km (13:58 / km) | |

| OK race. Sloppy in several spots but always knew where I had to be once I decided I wasn't where I wanted to be. Totally ran out of juice at the end though. |
