| |
| Dad and I went to runthe sprints that we ran last week in the Blue Hills again, this time trying to run mostly from memory. Well, I was moving slower than last week and I made 2 mistakes... so I was slower the second time. How wrong is that? |

| The second sprint. Also slower than last time, although I'm pretty sure this one is just due to speed. I didn't get lost this time :) |

Thursday Apr 5 |
| trail run 1:05:48 [3] | |
| |
| ran the skyline trail run with dad. I was a bit worried about my toe, especially running the steep downhills, but it was fine. My trail shoes have a lot of room in the toe, which is nice. We weren't running quite as fast as usual, especially in the beginning. On the way home dad turned a sharp corner in the car and the gas sloshed to one side of the tank and the car stalled. I should find my debit card soon so I can buy more gas..... |

| road run 40:00 [2] | |
| |
| easy run over to Wilson Mountain for threshold runs around the trail loop. |
| trail run 28:00 [4] | |
| |
| ran two loops around the trail. Aiming for usual threshold HR of around 182/183, but just could not run fast enough. Times were 13:56 and 14:01, which are on the faster side, so I was obviously moving. The HR on the first loop didn't go above 182, and was around 180 and the second loop it barely hit 181, avg. around 179 probably. Legs tired on the second loop and I felt like I was running all out. What's up with that? |

Monday Apr 2 |
| road run 35:00 [1] | |
| |
| running over to Wilson Mountain with dad. I bruised my big toe at the end of the race on Sunday and the nail turning funny colors now :( It's painful to walk on, but it wasn't so bad when running. I tried to row after running, but I couldn't bend my toes up in the most forward position of the rower, because my toe nail is being jammed into my foot - yeah, it's gross :) So I did some lifting for my back instead. |

| Orienteering 1:04:34 [4] 9.1 km (7:06 / km) +300m 6:05 / km | |

| Today's race went better than yesterdays I think. I really felt like I could run and picked the speed up especially in the end, which is what I like to do. I could see Clem coming out of #15 as I was coming into it, and although I couldn't see him for a couple of conrols I knew he was just ahead of me. I punched the last control right behind him and almost beat him in the chute, but he heard me coming :). Today I made a real mistake on #9, when I left #8 at the wrong angle, and obvioulsy was not doing a good job looking at my compass. I came back by beating all red and blue runners on the split to #10 :) Probably helped when Mike Sandstrom passed me and I sprinted to try (successfully) to punch before him. I again wasn't looking at my compass in the field to #13 and ran about 90 degrees the wrong way for about 250m before recovering, and I took a bad route through some brambles to 7, but otherwise a good race. I was running well and felt better physically today than yesterday. I just wish it had been sunny! |
