| Ross's training at Hammond Pond. I had no energy, but spiked pretty much everything, which was cool. Totally dead by the end. I think poor hydration, heat, low sleep, etc. did me in. Maybe also not training for the last few weeks... |

| Was going to go pick up those streamers at Boojum, but by the time I woke up it was kind of late already, so I opted for a long run along the river instead. It was good to get in a long run before I head out to Colorado; something I haven't done much this year.
Jefferson-JFK-Science Museum-Eliot-JFK-Jefferson, in the evening. Felt pretty good. |

| Tufts. Spent most of the day in lab meetings, after staying up until 2am to assess what I've been up to for the past 3 months. So, I took a nap when I got home and went out late again (~9:45, this time before dinner). Was thinking while I was running that the air is a little dryer at night, so it could be good conditioning for Colorado. ... Nah, it's just easier. |

| After feeling like crap the past few days I had the feeling I was on the up-and-up so I decided to take a short run over to Tufts. Unfortunately I was in the lab until nearly 8pm, so I decided to do this after dinner. Fortunately, that gave me time to get pumped by re-reading the ignorant accusations recently put forth about American sports culture (yeah, there are a lot of fat people in the US, but it has nothing to do with coaches or team sports). So by the time I got to Tufts I was feeling strong with a faster-than-usual pace, and I decided to run a mile on the track. Probably not a great idea, but what the heck. |

| Yeah, so being sick, eating dinner beforehand, and running a faster-than-usual warm-up is evidently not a PR formula, but it felt ok, and I don't think I'm any worse for it. |

| 6x1200 threshold intervals with 1min rest inbetween. Target time was 5 minutes. Had a 1:10 Hogencamp with a course drawn out on it. I decided to try something new which was to run 1 leg per 400m, then go on to the next leg. This really didn't work. I thought about my route, but I really didn't practice checking off features. From a physical standpoint, I felt strong, and the workout seemed easy, which was surprising since I haven't done threshold work in a while.

| Ran the night-o course from Friday, picking up the controls. With near to full knowledge of the map, route choices, and control locations, I still lost a couple of seconds on #17 - just wasn't paying attention. I somehow forgot to hit the split button between the jog back from the track and this, so 17 is a guess but I'd say it's an upper limit. |

| Before and after. Thought about going out again for a jog along the river, but I'd probably end up staying out another 20-25 minutes, and I think it's a psychological boon to feel good rather than tired at the end of an easy day. |

| Looks like I've got a 15 mile bike ride ending at 240ft before I even start running. Probably should get a 6:45am start (groan), and schlepp it a little faster than I typically ride. |

| Turns out climbing requires more or less the same muscles as biking (well, probably more) so my 70 minute "warm-up" kind of took the smack out of the uphills. On the upside (or downside, as it were) I can fall down a rocky trail as fast as anyone, so I probably made up a few minutes on the downhills. I was a little worried towards the end, since there's only so far reflexes will take you when your legs are giving out, but I didn't injure anything. Except that thing in my foot that was bothering me a few weeks back. It's a little sore now.
Thanks much to the Halls for giving me a lift home. That would have been a pretty painful cool-down. |

| Ran over to the Harvard track from Jefferson, then ran a mile on the track, including 3 200s to get up to speed. They were slow (51, 47.7, 44.1) which was probably a bad sign. Then jogged 800m afterwards and ran back to Jefferson. |

| Mile time trial on the track. Terry suggested at the track workout last week that I should find a race to do today. I looked, and they were all further than I wanted to bike, or else longer than I wanted to run, or else in the evening. But I still wanted to see how fast I am, so I ran a time trial. I felt slow and was slow. It was also windy.

| To/from Boojum. Looks like it's about 12 miles round trip. Quite an enjoyable bike ride, actually; climbing up Fulton St. to Fulton Heights felt strangely like wandering around some of the small coastal communities in Maine or on the Elizabeth Islands. |

| Hanging streamers for the course at Boojum. Went out for about 15 minutes, during which time I only hung the first two controls, then I came back because I was expecting people to be there. Turned out the only people to show up were MC, Patty, and Nikolai. MC and Patty only did controls 1&2 anyway, so I could almost have not bothered hanging any more streamers. Nikolai did the first 9, and being as there were 18, I decided to leave them up in hopes someone else might be able to make use of them. Plus I wasn't quite up to the additional hour or so that it would have taken to take them down. Maybe I'll make it out sometime this week to run the course. |
