Training Log Archive: Sandy

After looking at the weather forecast for this weekend I am seriously wondering whether doing the Crooked Compass, especially on my own, is a good idea. Rats. Will see if the forecast changes before making up my mind.

Twice around the meadow loop before heading in to work. I think I timed it perfectly. It was actually sunny for a lot of this and right now it looks like a massive thunderstorm is about to hit!

I am concerned about how quickly I seem to have lost what ever fitness I had gained. My knee was complaining a bit the last mile or so of this. Has me a little concerned for the Crooked Compass this weekend but I didn't have my hiking poles with me today and maybe that will make a difference on Saturday.

Drizzly loop around the meadow with Sandy. This stupid cough and nasal congestion just won't go away.

Meadow loop with Sandy. Still fighting whatever is making me cough.

Decided to do this at the last minute and glad I got out. Not a particularly inspired outing but relatively clean. The map is just point your compass and go for the most part and make your way through rocky ground since the woods are so open on the north side of the map. The 1:2000 rocky section at the end was fun although I still screwed up at the intersection near the very end where I always confuse trails with cliffs and go the wrong way.

Workout with Melissa. Another tough one. She's pushing me to do as much as I can with my knee and shoulder which is good.
