| After everyone had finished the line-o, Alexei and I went out for a trail run/score-o. The original idea was to have one person navigating with the map, while the other person just ran, and when we got back to have both people draw the whole route. Alexei strongly believes you should be able to look at the map whenever you want, so we ended up having one map with the controls on it that the navigator used, and another blank map so the follower could follow along. It was pretty fun; you can't really go wrong on such a glorious day. |

| Stopped by Tufts on the way home to do some calisthenics stuff. One-legged toe raises (Viktoria's suggestion to work the outside of my ankles, which it seemed to do), butt-kicks, lunges, knee raises, power skips. 2 sets of each. |

| Game with the West-Town Rockets. Won 2-0, and played pretty well. We had no subs, so I played the whole game, but as usual plenty of standing around. |

| Checking out Pine Hill for the line-o tomorrow. The line-o will be pretty short since there's just not that much of the place that isn't really crappy right now. |

| Today was the end of the first half of the season. We have a rescheduled game July 7, and then the second half picks up at the end of August and runs through November. I'm planning to stay away from soccer until the second half starts, except for the game in July. |

| Went out to Dave & Barb's street scramble and pah-tay on Nahant. I ran with Viktoria which was nice. Good pace and great weather (overcast, 60?, pleasantly humid, not too much rain, windy; pretty much my favorite weather to run in). Nahant was a lot of fun to run around, and there were a bunch of cool people at the party, so it was an enjoyable evening on all counts. Thanks Barb & Dave! |

| So, if you click on that 70.3 vdot, apparently I should be running a 2:22:41 marathon. Maybe I shouldn't use my 200 time to set my training paces. |

| Training this week was at the MIT track. Alexei had designed the exercise in two parts. First, we had a map with a course on it, only there were two control circles for each control. One circle was higher for each control. We put that map 30m away from a blank map, and ran between the two copying the higher control onto the blank map to make a course. Ok, so it's a bit hard to explain, but anyway.
Next, we ran 200m intervals "fast", and jogged another 200m while determining our route choice for a leg of the course. We did that for 6 legs and discussed in between. This was a whole lot faster than I would ever run a 200m interval in training. I think threshold pace 800s would have been better. Anyway, it was kind of cool to run sprint races, since I haven't done that in God knows how long.
The time & dist just includes the 200s. |

| A little while ago I mentioned that I kept getting kicked at the same part of my foot. It's actually a spot that I hurt back in the indoor season by taking a shot but catching my toe on the floor. Then it wasn't a problem, then somebody stepped on my foot a month ago or so, and it was kicked a few times after that. Most of the time I don't notice it at all, but every once in a while I take an off-balance step or something and it hurts a little. I hope it's not a stress fracture, but I'm afraid it might be, so I guess I'll call up the doctor (again). I feel kind of lame going to the med center twice in two weeks. |
