 | trail run 15:00 [2] | |
| |
| Dad, Ross and I ran the race route for Sunday. We jogged for 10 minutes to warm up and then about 5 minutes at the end to finish the course. |
| trail run 30:00 [4] | |
| |
| THis was supposed to be 30 minutes at threshold pace along the trail race route. I think I was goinga bit fast, my HR was around 180. It was hard to keep a constant HR as the HR moniter wasn't giving me an accurate reading most of the time. |
Thursday Sep 28 |
| trail run 35:00 [3] | |
| |
| trail run over to the start (well control #4) of the Traverse. I wore my trail running shoes today and my toe was just fine :) |
| Orienteering 2:00:00 [3] | |
| |
| from 4 on until it got dark, which was around 20. Dad and I traded off legs. Pretty good navigation. My ankle felt fine, and I was too lazy to tape it before I ran. Now though it's swollen again and sore/tired feeling :( |
Wednesday Sep 27 |
| Note | |
| |
| I'm in danger of having all my training drop off. I orienteered last weekend, ran Tuesday and today (although not as long because my toe hurt, will explain more later). I just don't have time to log! |

| road/trail run 31:00 [2] | |
| |
| So I drive to Dedham and dad and I got all ready to run last years Blue Hills Traverse. We get to the Blue Hills, I put on my shoes... and can only go about 3 steps. Reason being, our house is getting a new roof. Well, that's the beginning. See our house is getting a new roof, and the dumpster is in my driveway, so I can't park in it. Instead I had to park on a side street, which I can get to by cutting through my backyard and down the neighbors driveway. Well, after I parked last night I realized I left my cell phone in the car, so I went out in the dark to get it. As I was walking down the driveway I didn't see that some bricks were sticking out and I walked into them, with my foot and I was wearing flip flops. I thought I broke all my toes on my right foot, but no. I did get a cut on the top of my big toe which is what prevented me from running today because it hurt way to much being scrunched around in my o shoes. It's all because of the roofing. So dad and I turned around, drive home and just ran around the house. |
Tuesday Sep 26 |
| road/trail run 1:00:00 [2] | |
| |
| ran with dad down the middle of Comm Ave. |
Sunday Sep 24 |
| Orienteering 1:13:05 [4] | |
| |
| Long course on Sunday. I liek long courses :) I made a msitake on 3, thinking I was further along the trail than I was and then having to slug through the swamp. A little confused on a few others, but mostly ok. I used my thumb compass today as a change of pace, and I think I am faster with it, but not quite as accurate. I need to translate more of the skills I learned with my base plate to my thumb compass. Then I'll be unstoppable :) haha |
Saturday Sep 23 |
| Orienteering 17:55 [4] | |
| |
| Sprint race at the CNYO meet. I wasn't running super fast, but I was pretty clean. Had a little trouble on 11 (I think) - the one in the field. |
| Orienteering 53:06 [4] | |
| |
| The middle distance race. I had major problems on 5, hitting a trail not sure of which one, although now it makes sense that it was one of them. Then on 6 I didn't see that he stonewall extended and got thrown off by that. Bobbles after that as well. Just not a clean run. |
Thursday Sep 21 |
| trail run 2:01:00 [2] | |
| |
| A long easy tral run in the Blue Hills with Ross and dad. We used an old Blue Hills Traverse map and went near all the controls using only trails. A beautiful fall day!! |
Tuesday Sep 19 |
| trail run 29:00 [3] | |
| |
| A threshold run around the Wilson Mountain trail twice. HR around 178. I ran 14:30 and then 14:49. I can't quite figure out the difference except that maybe the second time my HR went up quicker and so I was slower in the beginning. Ankle is fine and only hurts when I step on something that is a bit uneven and pushes up the outside of my foot. |
| road run 45:00 [2] | |
| |
| running over to the trail with dad, and then running down the hill to begin the interval the second time. |
Monday Sep 18 |
| Note | |
| |
| I'll have to add in my sprints and times after I finish my grad school reading for tomorrow. RIgt now I am nursing my swollen ankle :( I think I am a wimp, but I Have never twisted anything before and nothing has ever been swollen! Today is my day off anyways, so I didn't try to run today. Walking feels fine, just awkward because I can feel that it's swollen and its all tight around the outside of my ankle. |

| Event: 2006 Sprint Series Finals
|
| Orienteering 31:00 [4] | |
| |
| first sprint - lots of fun. I think I ran the most during this sprint since it was so open I didn't even have top stop to punch. A great way to start! |
| Orienteering 20:06 [4] 2.32 km (8:40 / km) | |
| |
| The second sprint of the day. This one was more in the woods, and I fearlessly led my group way off on #3. We ran around, found the two long course controls before Hill relocated and go us out of there. |
| Orienteering 16:20 [5] 2.43 km (6:43 / km) | |
| (injured) |
| The final sprint. I had a good race, making no large errors. Since I felt like I had a good start I took some routes that were a bit longer and safer and I think that really helped in the end. I missed #2 on the second loop by going behind the wrong building, but otherwise it was a great sprint! |

Sprint #1 - short - Splits |

Sprint #2 - short - Splits |

Saturday Sep 16 |
| Orienteering 1:30:00 [3] | |
| |
| ran the farsta today. Took it easy and had a fun time. I was doing really quite well using compass and pacing to get me through the vague terrain, but I made one big mistakes reading the stream wrong on my second loop and that shook me enough that I tried to go from 5 to 7. Luckily I realized it about a bit, but still disconcerning! |
| Orienteering 32:00 [2] | |
| |
| Hill and I did the intermediate night-o together... :) It was fun, but it's hard to orienteer with someone else, though I was grateful for another light! |
Thursday Sep 14 |
| road run 35:00 [2] | |
| |
| Ross was with friends and dad was busy working on the apartment to come to thte track with me. So I ran to the track alone :) |
| track workout 13:00 [3] | |
| |
| I ran 4 800s with 30 seconds of jogging rest between them. times were 3:05, 3:08, 3:08, 3:09 ( I think ). |
Wednesday Sep 13 |
| trail run 31:00 [2] | |
| |
| ran with Pia and Ross this morning at 6:15 at Hammond Pond. |

| C • 6:15 AM? nice job. 4 |
Tuesday Sep 12 |
| road/trail run 53:00 [3] | |
| |
| ran with dad down the grass section of Comm. Ave. Run was short because I had to get to class, and runs on Tuesday will now be shorter because class will start at 6:00, not 6:45. |
Sunday Sep 10 |
| other (canoeing) 1:02:00 [1] | |
| |
| Ross and I did the canoe-o. It was a lot of fun, and we had never done one before together. We came in 2 minutes overtime, which isn't so bad :) |
| Orienteering 1:29:40 [4] | |
| |
| Today I felt like I was moving quite faster than yesterday, and I think that was due to the woods being more open. I also was moving more smoothly through controls, although still having trouble trying to read inside the circle. |
Saturday Sep 9 |
| Orienteering 1:41:53 [3] | |
| |
| I had a tough time during this race. I was slow getting into it and I just couldn't feel the flow of running - probably a lot of that was due to the thick woods. Beautiful weather though! |
| |
| C • And I hear you might have met ... 4 |

| track workout 19:00 [3] | |
| |
| ran 6x800 with 30-40 seconds of rest between. At a good pace, but slow enough so I could read the map while running.

Thursday Sep 7 |
| road/trail run 25:00 [1] | |
| |
| After stopping by my house from work on the way to class, I checked my schedule only to realize that I don't really have class this evening. It's monday evening. I think I'm losing brain cells in my stress, but this makes me laugh :) I realize I can now go running, which makes me feel better for waking up to my alarm at 6:30 and prompting resetting it for 7:00 and going back to sleep :) (oops).
This is the warm up to cold spring park, the jogging between the intervals and the jogging to meet Dan and Ross to join them in playing frisbee :) |
| trail run 12:00 [4] | |
| |
| did 6x2 mins with 1 minute of jogging rest between. I wasn't going quite all out, I think because I was afraid of running into dogs on the trail, but it was a hard effort. |
Wednesday Sep 6 |
| road run 20:00 [1] | |
| |
| So I actually woke up early to go running this morning, since I knew I would have class all evening. Of course it was for 20 minutes so it really doesn't help my training...
I thought I would be able to train and go to grad school at the same time. I sadly misled myself. As I am now picking up another class this semester, I won't be able to run on Wednesdays or Thursdays and I've been a total slacker on my training recently. So yeah, on the train to falling out of shape..... C'est la vie I suppose. |
