C25K app - Week 3/Day 1

At the rail trail. Because flat. The program time goes down slightly this week, but the running segments combine to longer periods.

Buying a new scale because I either lost 6 more pounds yesterday or now weigh more than I did three weeks ago, depending on where in the room I stand.

Event: DVOA Hay Creek MTB-O and Foot-O
 

DVOA Hay Creek - Green

I was a little tentative going back here after last summer's event. In fact, I woke up thinking that I hate Hay Creek (I think what I really meant is that I hate summer orienteering!) Redemption for me and the map thanks to Erik's nice courses (and the month of March.)

My left calf hurt yesterday, so I rested it, and still hurt this morning, but I felt a big knot in it in the shower and massaged it out some. It was better, though not perfect, but didn't hurt as long as I kept moving.

Beautiful open woods. Pretty much bang on into every control, although sometimes I took around rather than through routes on the longer legs. (Took trails from 8 to 9, could see the big rocky hilltop from the trail W of it. 10-11 I took right hand route on the trail South and then attacked from the dot knoll on the hilltop South of the control. Arrived there at the same time as the people who had been at 9/10 with me and cut through the woods.)

Not sure about the weight... I couldn't believe that 5.5 pounds came off in two days, but I checked it again in the bathroom and then moved the scale to another room in case there was a gravitational anomaly in there. The same all three times. Or maybe the battery is just dying.

Manheim Township Community Park. I wonder when I will finally run out of new parks :-)

Rest day tomorrow (or maybe walking if I feel good enough) before tackling Hay Creek. Kind of exhausted.

Silver Mine Park

Lesson on Rigbie. Had a different instructor tonight as the usual is on a trip. Got some good advice and insight... nice to have a different set of eyes and set of tools once in a while.

Greider Park, another new place, mostly in the open. It was cold and windy. Had pants but no long sleeves in running bag. Doh.
