| NEOC meet at Needham town forest. Made a lot of dumb mistakes. I'm fitter than I've been in a long time so I guess I need to slow down at critical points like, say, taking a bearing, instead of just running hard continuously. |

| Mass Ave. - River St. loop, in the morning (~8:40am). It was warmer and sunnier than past few runs, plus my legs were definitely still tired from last night. Took along another copy of Hogencamp, this time with a shorter course on it, so I finished the course in ~27 minutes. Once again, it seemed easier to read the map. I was also more focused than last night; my mind didn't drift at all. |

| Mass Ave. to Longfellow and then up Beacon hill and back to Mass Ave., with a bit of extra looping around to add some time. Took along another copy of the Hogencamp map, but decided that either I drew an easier course or I'm getting better at reading it, so I gave it 4 stars for technical intensity. There was one leg that threw me, where the only route choice seemed to be straight through a swath of mountain laurel, and I really didn't do well on that leg. It's exactly the kind of leg I tend to get lost on in real woods, too - lots of green and not much to navigate off of. To top things off, I left the trail to plunge into the green without being absolutely sure of what I was doing, which Will has told me not to do countless times (although I was thinking about it very hard). |

| Dusk Anderson-Science Museum loop with Bosworth. Weather was pretty nice after a hot day. Legs felt great from the time I woke up this morning until right about the science museum on the home stretch, at which point they steadily became more and more ready to stop. After some stretching when I got back they felt fine. Was starting to feel the need for water by the time I got back. You who read my log - about how long will you run for before you decide to take water with you? Took another 1:10000 Hogencamp map with a different course on it that I finished after ~40 minutes. Was a little more focused this time than last, but my mind drifts from time to time. Bosworth mentioned that I slow down a bit every time I look down at the map. I guess that's not such a bad thing. |

| Mass Ave. - River St. loop with Bosworth. 82F when we got back at 9:45. Legs felt sluggish after the day off, and I kept having to suck in a lot of air to fill my lungs, but that was just the weather. Forgot to bring a map with me. |
