 | orienteering (mapping) 2:45:00 [1]3.0 mi (55:00 / mi) | |
| |
| Mapping in Nottingcook, started on a north slope on edge of forest under heavy hemlock cover, proved cold & even a touch depressing as it was hard to get it right, so spent the rest in relative sunshine, easier work. Dogs along as always. No nature noted but 5 mice now live on kitchen counter. |
Saturday Dec 30 |
| orienteering 1:30:00 [2] | |
| |
| in Nottingcook with usual company; used color copy of field work, actually did some orienteering, no compass, got confused once or twice... Brightening sky. Wanted to map but can't in falling snow. Not a peep from nature, not even a mouse. |
Friday Dec 29 |
| weights (and run) 50:00 [3] | |
| |
| not that i would yet know (ie, take/have the time) how to separate run from weight, producing color graphs et al
20' earlyAM run in Nottingcook to keep dogs happy & were they ever with discovery of coyotes, a den we'd also 'dug up' more than a year ago - indignant yelps for quite a few minutes, no flesh exchanged. Rest Fri post-work at gym, rather boring, rather necessary...beneficial if consistent
AOWN - mice abound in this house, a few have joined us as pets for the winter, as they did last winter (at home on the kitchen counter) in their Petco trophy house |
Wednesday Dec 27 |
| trail/woods running 49:06 [3]5.0 mi (9:49 / mi) | |
| |
| Run from NHH around noon - by Concord Hospital, into St Paul's property. Manage to stay away from roads. Not much energy. |
Tuesday Dec 26 |
| weights 35:00 [1] | |
| |
| 35' at gym, not been there since last April... a 'necessary burden'... various muscle groups need more use than they get. |
Monday Dec 25 |
| trail/woods running 40:00 [3]4.0 mi (10:00 / mi) | |
| |
| laps north of Burlington, Vt - woods to bluff by lake a few times. |
Sunday Dec 24 |
| orienteering (mapping) 2:15:00 [1]2.5 mi (53:59 / mi) | |
| |
| out with usual companions. Windy, nice. Saw a hare closeby (saw one 3 wks ago, pure white) this one was mostly white but what color to be in this snowless terrain.... Reasonably satisfied w/ mapping but under hemlocks alot on a slope, hard to get any useful point objects in place with respect to each other. |
Saturday Dec 23 |
| trail/woods running 1:06:36 [2]3.5 mi (19:01 / mi) | |
| |
| in Nottingcook, starting on far side (car ride) with Zoe & Mocha. Picked up 3 controls and 3 streamers in dripping, getting-dark woods. |
Thursday Dec 21 |
| trail/woods running 1:02:27 [3]6.8 mi (9:10 / mi) | |
| |
| run home from work, do this not often enough. start 2 flat miles then ups and downs. dark roads but not much traffic so not a hassle, even some starlight. need to recheck distance to earn the pace claimed -:) |
Monday Dec 18 |
| trail/woods running 30:00 [3]2.0 mi (14:59 / mi) | |
| |
| out the 'work door' at lunch, 5' jog to Concord HS track. Ran 1 400 'warmup' then 8:00 & 7:42 miles. The eight was exactly 2 minutes per lap without thinking about it. Wish they could have been a minute faster but this is the dark season, unlike the expectation of spring. |
Sunday Dec 17 |
| orienteering (mapping) 4:00:00 [1]3.0 mi (1:20:00 / mi) | |
| |
| another 4 hours mapping, great weather. Dogs would not give up on dead deer leg, rotten meat etc. Guess I didn't yell enough.Found streamers stating 'lot line' from some 8 yrs ago when forest was the mindset of the local developer. Fortunately, town woke up, otherwise whispering pines would only be a name. |
Saturday Dec 16 |
| orienteering (mapping) 4:15:00 [1]3.5 mi (1:12:50 / mi) | |
| |
| mapping in Nottingcook Forest - great day, dogs for company. Looks alot like West Point where I spent my time. Picked up 4 controls from UNO mtg, 2 more can wait when I happen by,
probably won't be found or eaten. |
Thursday Dec 14 |
| orienteering (mapping) 4:00:00 [3]6.0 mi (39:59 / mi) | |
| |
| ran back from Saab garage for 6 miles around 9:30 pace, warm day in the making. Felt like I was due a day away from work & so took one. Went out mapping for 3 hrs with dogs, great walk for them. Put some bends in trails, worked under tall hemlocks, finding rock faces and doing my best improving contours...a day meant to be outside |
Tuesday Dec 12 |
| orienteering intervals 57:00 [3]3.5 mi (16:16 / mi) | |
| |
| 2 runs today...out the door at 0720 with eager dogs, 22deg, wanted to see if i enjoyed a loop before work or would rather be lazy...former was true. brought back a control from UNO's Sunday mtg. Went to St Paul's school at noon - was going to do the 'loop de loop' thru woods & fields (causes honest pain) but came upon the track,, sun was so nice. Ran 8 400's in tee shirt, not bad for dark period of year...started around 118" and ended up around 94-96" |
Saturday Dec 9 |
| orienteering 3:00:00 [1] | |
| |
| 3 hrs on a new map (mine) putting out controls for the UNO club mtg Sunday. Always interesting to use your work (currently 1/7500 color xerox of field work) for the first time - it's been since early '80's that i was out on a map of my own making.

Thursday Dec 7 |
