I ran a course after school on Silvermine. It was a very hilly course with the first leg up to the top of Silvermine ski area. I felt pretty good and my navigation was clean. Like Tuesday, since it was getting dark, I was not able to read the map on the run too well, so I spent some extra time reading detail on the map. Since I was taking care to notice all the extra detail I didn't really make any mistakes.

After finishing my course on Silvermine, I ran some rocky terrain to work on my agility. I was a little ways out on the map when I finished Orienteering, so I was basically just running back to the parking lot. It was a long downhill route that was strewn with rocks. In the fading light, it was also a great concentration exercise since I had to focus really hard on the rocks to keep from falling.

After finishing the Orienteering course and my agility training, I was still a little ways from the parking lot and since it was too dark to read the map I just decided to run the trail back. I felt pretty good and blazed it in 5 minutes.

After finishing my run and getting back to the parking lot I decided to run to the top of Silvermine ski area to finish off the workout. I felt pretty good as I began to hit the steep incline, but when it started to go nearly straight up my legs felt like lead. It was a brutal climb, but a good finish to my workout.
