| Opted out of West Point since I've got a lot of work and I'm in piss-poor shape. So, I went for some training at Hammond Pond instead. Pia and Lori showed up, too. I ran mostly with Pia, alternating legs and attempting to execute the whole leg by memory. All of the legs were 250m. It went pretty well; I definitely need to work on having a routine that includes knowing what the circle looks like. I found myself needing to look at the map too much. |

| I have a rubber band that I got when I injured my IT band. I used it for some knee-stabilization stuff, which I should do regularly. Hopefully that will ward off any quad injury. Also did some back stuff. |

| Event: CSU Boston Park Series - Cat Rock Park
|
| Orienteering 1:15:00 [3] *** 9.38 km (8:00 / km) +200m 7:14 / km | |
| shoes: Adidas Novas |
| Putting out and picking up controls for the Cat Rock Park-o. Wet day, but we had 18 people turn up. Had some mishaps with control logistics, so I ended up running the long loop twice, in somewhat of a mad frenzy to get the last control out before anyone arrived at it. Slightly more of a workout than I had planned on. Legs felt great. |

| Training run at Pine Hill. A crowd (4) from MIT came, and I shadowed Vanessa. The woods actually weren't too bad yet. |
| Note | |
| |
| My IT band seems ok, but now my right quad is hinting at hurting the same way it did last summer. Probably I overdid it this weekend. |

| Sunday my knee/hip/lower back was quite sore, so I stretched out my hamstring. I stretched for about a minute total, in 10sec chunks. I bent my head down towards my chest as far as it would go, breathed in, and held. Afterwards, there was a complete transition in my back from tight and painful to totally loose and awesome-feeling. My suspicion is that I had a pinched nerve and the stretching wiggled it into place or something (I had noticed a numbness in my big toe, which is now gone). Apparently it wasn't a miracle cure for my IT band, but that does seem to be feeling better so perhaps it was related. |
Saturday Apr 7 |
| soccer (grass) 1:00:00 [2] | |
| shoes: diadora tornates |
| Game with the GSAS team out at Danehy park. I played pretty badly, not helped by the muddy field. IT hurts a bit. |
Sunday Apr 1 |
| Orienteering (map hike) 1:29:41 [1] *** | |
| spiked:15/16c slept:3.0 shoes: Grid Propel 2007 |
| Green course at Fair Hill. Still IT band pain, so I just walked it. Jogged real slow for some 20-sec spurts here and there, but that was probably a bad idea. I guess I should be harder on myself in terms of spike standards when I'm walking. Maybe I'll think more about that later. |
