| Tarrywile Red - Hilly tour of T'wile. Hit all the hills and lots of the rock. O was good but just wasn't going that fast and slow climbing. Wound up walking the ups towards the end as they got very steep.
Almost landed on a turkey enroute from 7 to 8, just above 5. He sauntered out of the way. |

| Strength (nycb 1) 1:00:00 [1] | |
| weight:152lbs |
| Legs creaky to start, but got better as went along. L knee seems back to normal, but R has developed same clicking syndrome tho not as bad yet. Still was able to do the little hops with no problem.
With this sudden appearance of creakiness in both legs, I'm wondering if this may be a new manifestation of Lyme Disease from the 2 brushes I had about 8 years ago. The last I read was it was a very unknown disease, could cause arthitic symptoms and could reappear many years after seemingly being cured.
Or it could just be old age! Nah... |

| Mt Tom Red (11/26/05) in reverse - 35, sunnyish, windy. Reverse to make course look different and bec Lyn did the Brown and we'd follow to much otherwise. This way we met half way. Nice run but had no push going uphill, and both knees complain about climbing/ think it's probably the start of arthitis in the joints or some other deviant means of preventing us from playing in the woods.
Today was about 4' faster than on the day, but had big booms then so that's not a good measure. Found that it took some time in many cases to find the little bits of orange streamer, esp 16 which was on the ground. 9 was missing completely and was the main one I had trouble with. The area is vague and I got a little too high. Plus it was like Micro-O out there - streamers everywhere! Could almost go to anything and claim to be there. So that was an interesting test. (1, 18 and 19 were missing but figured that was because of closeness to trails.) The O went well but probably bec took it slow and tried to make sure as I read the terrain and not outrun myself, esp w/o flags and alone out there.
Still, nice course. Thanks Phil for leaving the streamers up. |

| Trail run 1:03:00 [1]6.0 mi (10:29 / mi) | |
| weight:154lbs shoes: Asics DS Trnr |
| Purple loop - 35, sunny, windy. Sluggish run; easy go. Kept getting tweaks in the R knee- new! Tried a few strides - ok; and push the hills - funny stuff in R knee so careful run. |
Sunday Mar 19 |
| Trail run 38:00 [1] | |
| weight:150lbs shoes: NB 833 |
| Beaver Tr - 35, sunny, windy. Easy recovery run from yesterday. Kind of a slog going out so threw in some speed spurts coming back - 20 paces hard/20 easy, 6 or 7 times. Got into a bit of good form, then just ran it home not trying to stress anything.
Long week, right on target. Easy next week. |
