Training Log Archive: TimGood

Course setting at Stuarts Hill - Manassas. Covered the second loop of the advanced course plus scouted some intermediate course control locations. Some jogging, some walking.

At Eum Paw Paws. 3:30 - 5pm. Guest instructor so no teaching just open rounds. Unfortunately many were too hard for us.

At Belair Square Cats. 7:30 - 10pm.

At Merry Notes. 7:30 - 10pm.
Thought I might start running again but it was raining so I passed.

At B and B. 8:30-9:30.

Foot was feeling much better yesterday and not bothering me at all today. Only fear of hurting it again is holding me back. Decided to try it out and what better way than a round of disc golf. (Square dancing might be a good way also but I will try that tonight.) Off to Burke Lake to try out my new birthday disc - a Starfire distance driver and a lovely neon green color. Used all 5 of my drivers Shark, Cobra, Raven, Beast, Starfire. Shark is an intermediate driver and my favorite disc, Cobra is an intermediate to long driver, Raven is a long driver I have rarely thrown well, Beast is a distance driver I always throw into the ground. Not sure what a distance driver is supposed to do for me, they did not go much farther and that was usually negated by all of them tailing left. Got better as I played more holes and was starting to feel comfortable with them all when disaster struck. Not my foot, but my Shark. Split in half on the 12th hole. My 3 favorite discs have all been lost. One in a pond in WY, one in the thorns in OR, and now one broken in VA. I have no replacement all around disc so this will affect my putting until I get a new one or learn to putt with something else. I have two specific putter discs but have never putt well with them. Maybe I should practice with them.

At Boomerangs 8-9:30. No problems with the foot while dancing for about 30 minutes.
Some problems with the weight. Unless the G has had a sudden increase, I am back to G+42. Not a good spot to be in with Thanksgiving on the way. I blame Halloween and my inability to pass by chocolate candy bars without eating them. Hope to never find out I am allergic to them.

Could barely walk after finishing Saturday and there was no miracle healing overnight. At least not enough for an 8:45 start. Got up at 6 am, limped to the bathroom and decided I would be unable to finish the red course so went back to bed and only got up in time to make my scheduled 11:30 finish line work assignment. Had not planned on the 1.2k walk to the finish. Might have been late if I had not gotten a ride 1/2 there with Keg. Limping along the pink streamers was enough to demonstrate I made the correct decision this morning.
