Saturday Feb 25 |
| trail run 12:00 [2] | |
| |
| The warm up and cool down. |
| Orienteering 1:09:00 [2] *** | |
| |
| Ran a red course that we often do, but this time we did it backwards. Again focused on compass work and looking at contours. So I did some legs without a compass and some without a map :) Ross came out again today to join dad and I so it was quite the crowd. |
Friday Feb 24 |
| road run 50:00 [1] | |
| |
| warm up, cool down and the in between |
| |
| C • ANd here, I think the warm up ... 1 |
| road run (hill workout) 15:00 [3] | |
| |
| Ran up Westfield Street hill twice and this time the heart monitor was actually kind of working! Times were 7:25 and 7:33 and my HR was around 182 or so. Lower on the flatter areas and higher on some of the steeper areas. |
Thursday Feb 23 |
| trail run 30:00 [1] * | |
| |
| Spent a couple of hours out in the woods with dad doing map corrections and climbing on rocks ;) |
Wednesday Feb 22 |
| trail run 1:07:30 [3] | |
| |
| I think this is how long the skyline trail run took. I'll check it against dad's log once he posts :) We have run this loop in close to 60 minutes, and now it's taking us much longer. I feel like I'm in good shape... maybe I'm tired? Hard to tell why and where I'mm slowing down. |
Tuesday Feb 21 |
| trail run 32:00 [1] | |
| |
| To the start and then back again from #9. |
| Orienteering 40:00 [1] *** | |
| |
| Dad and I alternated legs on an old Blue Hills red course. For each leg one of us would take a compass bearing and run solely on that without a map and the other would have the map and run without using their compass at all. I was much closer using only my compass than I thought I would be! The legs were 200 or so meters and I was probably about 10 meters off on most controls, but I could see the feature from my line. |
Monday Feb 20 |
| road/trail run 52:00 [1] | |
| |
| just a run around Newton. Spent a lot of the time running on the trails in Cold Spring Park. |
Sunday Feb 19 |
| road run 2:37:00 [2] * | |
| |
| Today was a new first in my running career. I have never run this long, except in an oritneering meet! Ran around Newton with dad and Ross (yep, he wasn't working today!) and we just kept going. I felt great, probably having the last two days off helped, only me knees were hurting near the end. |
| |
| C • Only a 1 for intensity! For me... 1 |

Thursday Feb 16 |
| road run 44:30 [1] | |
| |
| Running over to the post office and then to westfield street and back |
| road run (threshold hills) 15:30 [3] | |
| |
| Ran 2 times up westfield street, 7:48 and 7:42. The heart rate monitor was working pretty well on the run over and so I thought it would work on the hill. It did for about the first 30 seconds and then was just wrong - unless my heart rate was 109 running uphill :) Then on the way back down the hill it would work again. I tied 2 knots in the band to get it tight enough so it really wasn't moving, but it just won't read when I start running fast. Maybe I have some weird heart beat.... |

| trail run 1:30:00 [2] | |
| |
| trail run with dad. Lots of snow and slush on the trails and trying to run arond it resulted in lots of slipping and slidding around. Good for the ankles! |
| lifting/strength 2:00 [1] | |
| |
| I'm really trying to get the lifting in and keep it as part of my routine, but it's so difficult for me to do. I am tired most evenings and rather just climb into bed than spend 10 minutes lifting. Just did crunches, back exercises and toe lifts for my calves - my problem areas! |
Tuesday Feb 14 |
| xc skiing 1:05:00 [1] | |
| |
| skiing around the golf course with dad - enjoying the snow while it is here! |
Monday Feb 13 |
| xc skiing 1:35:00 [2] | |
| |
| Didn't realize dad and I were out for so long! Most of it was breaking trail and I was working pretty hard to get up some of the steep hills. the wax just wasn't quite cutting it and then if you hit a rock at the wrong angle, down you went! But it was fun to do something other than running! |

| Event: Baldwin hill training
|
| Orienteering 52:00 [1] *** | |
| |
| A line-o. Much better than last time, I think because the line mainly followed linear features and the woods were more open, |
| Orienteering 55:00 [1] *** | |
| |
| This time the map had no stonewalls or trails and I ran it without using my compass. So really trying to look at the contours, and it went really well. I wasn't moving fast, but that wasn't the goal. The goal was to navigate using contours. I was a bit nervous about not using my compass and I did glace at it about 3 times, just to make sure I was along the right track, |

| A Blue Hills skyline trail run! First one in a long time, and I was breathing really hard on those climbs. Not our fastest time, but ok for the beginning of the season. Legs felt normal, just difficult to breathe. |

| Orienteering 41:00 [2] ** | |
| |
| a "sprint" course from the 80's where a sprint was 5k long :) Dad gave me a map with no trails or stonewalls on it, so I was relying on contours. I was having trouble in the beginning of the course, but then finished up alright. |
