| Yellow course at the DVOA picnic. Had some errors but at least I was running. Even with a 1:10,000 map and my contacts in, I have to pretty much stop to read the details. |

| More rogaine streamering. Over 1/2 done, close to 2/3. On my feet from 10:30 to 5:30 with about half an hour break at 1 for lunch.
Decided not to tempt fate and do a balance beam act to get across a bridge that is out, but going around was a big detour.
Decided to delete the planned controls on private property across the Mason-Dixon line. I hear the DuPont's can be a bit squirrely.
Saw a fox - it was in the middle of a wide trail and I got a good look before it took off. Very pretty red with black on the tail. Think I saw a second a while later but it was a short enough glimpse that I couldn't be sure. |

| No THursday TNT again this week. :(
Did the core workout instead. Probably just as well since the weather looks great for tomorrow which means another day down at Fair Hill. |

| Course setting for the Fair Hill rogaine. Some of the fields are mowed but many are not and cutting across was tough work as the grass is up to my shoulders and I really had to lift my legs to get through it. I think they'll all be mowed for the event though. Which is good since I saw a ton of poison ivy growing in them in places. Was going to do one more loop but I was getting a blister so I decided not to. Good thing - about 15 minutes later I was driving home in lightening and thunder. |

| TNT - covered bridge hill repeats with Heather and Alison. Alison did 7 all the way to the top, Heather and I did 5 to the trailhead on the right.
These were hard. I need to do them more often.
I kept hitting the wrong buttons on my watch and instead of getting splits, I kept stopping and starting it. But from the splits I did get, I was about 2 minutes up and 3 minutes down. The rest of the time was the jog down to the covered bridge on the trails, a half mile on the drive to cool down, and the walk back up the hill home. |

| 2 miles on the drive (5:16, 5:13, 5:11, 4:48) plus walking down and up.
This after a couple of hours of working in the yard. I think I have reduced the amount of grass by about 50% from when I moved in by gradually expanding all the flower beds. And other than the tree I bought to replace the one that had to come down, everything has either been gifts or just dividing or moving and making room for things to grow. |

| I just made plans to do some orienteering training next weekend. This is good. I haven't been orienteering very much this year so far. I've done a lot of things related to orienteering, but I haven't done much actual orienteering in race mode. While I think I may have needed the break, I'm now ready to get back to it. I think.
