map hiking 4:00:00 [1]
Another day up at Hickory Run. Today was spent trying to figure out where the major streams can be crossed safely which will have a major impact on routing the courses.
The woods are so open this time of year. And there are so many different areas of the park that all have unique terrain. I'll have to resist the temptation to take courses places just because there's something neat there and not because it will make for a good course.
When I came out of the woods at the end of the day there was an official park truck in the lot where I had parked, the only other vehicle. I found it a little disturbing that the truck was there idling the whole time that I changed shoes and clothes and had a snack and packed things up. Ironic, too, because the truck had "Conservation" in big letters stenciled on it. And then as I was driving out, the driver started to get out of the door. I stopped because I was curious about what he was there for, and when I did that, the guy froze. He didn't get back in the truck but he didn't move further out either. Eventually, I decided to get out of there, but it was a tad strange.

Note
Knee really sore today. It's okay after I move around a bit, but the first few steps after sitting are dicey. The obvious answer is to just keep moving today; unfortunately have a lot of paperwork that needs to get done.
Note
Just met with the VP for Facilities Management at school to see what it would take to get permission to hold sprint events on campus. He was very supportive and will find out what sort of paperwork would be needed - insurance certificates, contracts, etc. Since he's a friend, I'm thinking this is going to happen. So, first steps taken, let's see what happens.

running 30:15 [3] 3.0 mi (10:05 / mi)
TNT - 3 miles on the drive with Bob.
hiking 24:00 [3]
Hike down to the drive, hike back up. Actually ran the pavement part of the hill home. Bob took off like a rocket but must have walked at some point, since I caught up to him right at the house having managed to keep a nice steady pace up the whole hill.
