| Skating 42:30 | |
| Sunset skate with seabass, two laps around the golf course. We started with an anti-clockwise loop, which we never do, and it really wasn't that much fun. When we got back to the car we turned around and did a clockwise/normal loop. Much better!
I've spent much of the day cleaning and organizing stuff. I'm taking a giant leap and getting rid of (some of) the magazines that I've hoarded over the past 10+ years. No orienteering magazines, of course, but all of the cycling, triathlon, and miscellaneous non-orienteering ones. And not the running ones, yet, though I think that's just a matter of time. The used book store wouldn't take *any* of them (they're only taking '08 issues!), so they're up on freecycle. I hope *someone* wants them. | ||

Saturday Jan 5 | ||
| Cycling 1:27:00 | |
| I slept for a really long time last night, probably because I needed it. I don't tend to move very much when I sleep, but that seemed to be especially so last night because I had two small, black, cuddly creatures that strangely resemble sea otters parked between my knees and feet for much of the night. I must have been trying not to disturb them and moved into some strange position (and stayed there), because I woke up with a really stiff back. Silly kitties.
Got stuff done in the morning waiting for my back to unstiffen a little and for the temp to reach 70. Head out in the afternoon for a ride up to Sabino Canyon and back. North on Columbus/Swan to Sunrise, over to Sabino Canyon, and back on Wilmot and Broadway. It took 45 min to get there and I didn't go in the park. I guess this is a reasonable enough ride that if I wanted to do a serious workout some day I could ride there, go for a run, and ride back. It's possible. Route. I've revised my running plan. I'm not going to run at all for the next few days, just more alternative exercise, vitamin-I, and ice. It doesn't hurt today, but I figure a few more days to let it really recover is well worth it. | ||
Friday Jan 4 | ||
| Running (road) 36:45 [2] 4.1 mi (8:57 / mi) | |
| (injured) shoes: Gus | ||
| My cold is basically gone, my foot felt fine, young people caucused like nobody's business yesterday, it was 70 degrees when I got home, and it's Friday. Could I possibly need another reason to go out for a run?
Ran around the bike path from home. Legs felt pretty perky, probably from feeling neglected for so long. I think I'm okay, little aches here and there (a little bit on the rt foot after ~25 min, a little bit on the outside of the knees), but I think if I keep treating body parts nicely and just stick to running every other day for a the next week or so I should be fine. | ||

| How about a 2007 wrap-up, a couple of days late?
First, some numbers: 2007 (2006) (2005) Training hours: 332 (287) (233) Orienteering: 101 (80) (64) Running: 105 (118) (84) USOF Rank pts: 70.4 (68.2) (59) Fastest non-sprint min/km: 8:22 (9:24) (10:29) I also rated 43 movies, 29 of which I gave a '1' and the remaining 14 were slapped with a big fat '0'. There are some nice trends in there, most noticeably the increase in orienteering and overall training hours. I actually ran less this year than last year, but the O hours delta is larger, so I guess it's a wash there. By the numbers, I am orienteering better - but not by nearly as much as I would have hoped. A few races that stand out in my mind are the World Cup races in Finland, Jukola, Day 2 in Colorado, the SS finals and the VM O-Marathon. I'm sure I'm forgetting some. There are also a few that stick out in a bad way, like the first day of the US Champs and the sprint at A-B. In both cases I just didn't have my O brain with me. I suppose one goal for this year should involve preparedness so that I never have to worry about that happening again. I haven't done a thorough analysis of consistency, time lost on courses, time behind the winner, etc. If I do, I am sure that I will find that the difference between this year and last year isn't very big. Frustrating. That's all I can write before falling asleep. That means that goals will have to wait another day. | ||

| A successful run. I had to take the bus to the airport to get the car, so I decided to put some running shoes on and give my foot a really, really easy test. Thankfully, it passed. I think. My foot's been feeling much, much better. Nevertheless, I feel like if I were to go out and run for 45 minutes it would probably be hurting. I (perhaps stupidly) canceled my appointment this morning because nothing hurt and I figured my initial suspicion of tendinitis was current and it's almost licked. Perhaps the smarter thing is to go to the flight doc anyway. | ||
Monday Dec 31 | ||
| XC Skiing 1:20:00 [1] | |
| Went skiing with mami, sis, and seabass at Great Brook. We just took it easy. | ||
| Note | |
| My foot got a test tonight - running through Northampton to snag some First Night buttons so we could catch the Nields (and The Kennedys). It felt fine! | ||
| Note | |
| Marcelino pan y vino (1)
Switched languages for the last movie of the year. One of mami's favorites. | ||
