| orienteering 25:18 [3] 3.0 mi (8:25 / mi) | ||
| Sam called me up at work to suggest that we go running at Hammond Pond together after work today. So I met her in the parking lot at 5:30 in the rain. We warmed up for 13 minutes or so and then did an old course that Brendan had set for a CSU night-o. The rain was pelting down which made things cold and wet, but once I got going I didn't mind so much. The orienteering was easier during the day than trying to find stuff at night ( except for one pit, which was easier to see when it was reflecting) and I felt like I was getting into a good flow. never felt like I was running at top speed, but overall I was quite happy with the run. I sorta made up the 3 k part, I didn't measure the course this time, and don't want to look it up. | ||

| road run 47:12 [3] 5.0 mi (9:26 / mi) | ||
| Hill workout day. I have been talking about needing to do some hills for awhile now and today I finally made up my mind to do it. so I left from work and ran over to summit ave. I did intervals from the base to the mailbox near the top (~ 2 mins) with a slow jog around the top and back down to the bottom again. after the first I felt very wiped, and was regretting my decision to run 5 of them. But after all 5 were done, I felt pretty good again. working very hard to get to the top, near 100% effort.
times were: (recovery) 2:07 (3:10) 2:10 (4:36) 2:13 (4:37) 2:14 (4:54) 2:14 | ||
Monday May 5 | ||
| road run 41:58 [3] 6.0 mi (7:00 / mi) | ||
| This is my second run breaking my goal of 42 minutes (previous time I didn't log). A nice day to run, but I got a pretty late start because there's always more to do at work. Tomorrow one of the post-docs in the lab is giving a data presentation and he needed lots of extra last minute stuff done which meant leaving at 7 today. I started out very fast, then eased up a little bit because of some cramps. but I pushed the hill and the homestretch too, which got me just under the mark.
In the course of the run lilacs and cut-grass were vying with cramps and excessive sweating... but I think the lilacs won. | ||
