	orienteering 17:01 [2] 2.4 km (7:05 / km)
	ahr:151
	orienteering for kids. probably orange td slow, after running the 6k quite ahrd there was actually non-negligible climb
	running 28:47 [5] 6.16 km (4:40 / km)
	ahr:187 max:196
	got up early to get the tram to get the train which brought me to Falenica where the orienteering and trail run were on... so in pidgin polish i asked to do the orienteering and the nice old man replied in fast incomprehensible polish... so i asked him to repeat in slow polish, which I guessed I had a better chance of understanding than german, which he also proposed... anyway, there was no orienteering for adults this week, only for children, because a plane had crashed earlier in the week in the north of poland, not quite sure what the connection was... so I was left with the trail run to do... i signed up for the 10 km, but a couple of km in I decided that was a stupid idea... but had to keep going for a while... dropped out after 6km (which was actually allowed, I think, as there was a 6km version too)... advertised as 6.66km with 170m climb. definitely not as fit as i once was.... wonder how long it'll take to come back... and if my tendons will hold out - they were the main reason for droping out of the race, felt tight... went and jogged the 2km orienteering course as a warmdown. took a while getting back. Falenica has to be the most ghetto train station in the world. And after hanging out there for a while and after my train didn't show up, I discovered nice, regular buses leaving from the side of the road just opposite. hohum
	running warm up/down 11:00 [1]

	of which 6.40 beforehand
Friday Jan 25
	aerobic (bike/other) 1:00 [1]
	ahr:130
	15 minutes, then 5 stretching, 15 strength, then 45 more... kat was right... this was not exactly riveting reading but made the time pass much faster. On the other hand, HR was lower than usual... guess I wasn't pedalling so hard.
	strength 15 [3]


Wednesday Jan 23
	Note

	rest HR before going for a run this late morning... high 50's... with a bit of effort got it down to 50 momentarily. Either doing maths way too late last night or am very unfit! Note added after run: In general, getting too little sleep I think. Also, I had the feeling today I was in some C-rated horror movie. Trying to leave the building today to come to the office I got stuck behind a hunchback, serious case - her hump was barely higher than my waist, her head was lower... incidentally, I reckon the average age in my apartment block must be over 70... then on the tram... it was full... and while there were some young people, the majority were again over 70. If it weren't so scary the battles over who got to sit down would have been hilarious. Visibly healthy 75 year olds with seats were deliberately not looking at the 80 year olds tottering as they stood. Proud healthy 85 year olds would offer a seat to a weaker granny with a condescending remark. As one left the tram, whole flocks converged on the momentarily vacant seat. Some poor 55yo was sitting in a seat reserved for the pregnant and the infirm and looked very perturbed when asked by one of the zombies for her seat... was I glad to get out of there before my skin turned grey maybe all the young people are in Ireland...
	running 55:00 [3] 10 km (5:30 / km)
	ahr:157 max:175
	down by the river... lovely day, still a little of the snow that fell yesterday left on the grass, temperatures above zero but the ground still cold... occasional sunshine, a fair bit of blue sky... still very conscious of my foot...
Monday Jan 21
	aerobic (bike/other) 50 [2]
	ahr:137
	gym starting to get extremely bored. even the prospect of ogling girls as they traipse in and out of fitness class each hour no longer enchants me also a bit tired... need more food maybe

	C • Gym 8
	strength 15 [3]

	15 minutes of strength training (no honestly), also did 5 or 10 of stretching running is so much more fun
