| Umstead Day 2, Green - 65, sunny. Open woods with patches of downfall that were mapped inconsistently.
Lost a bit going straight to 2 thru med Gr and slowed climbing over trees. Better to go down ride maybe. Lost big time going to 19 - (-6or7') Went more or less straight aiming for trail leading to it. Bit low and wound up in gr below trail. Got up to trail and ran to bend to head off. But at the bend was a huge cairn/rock pile. Saw nothing on map until 200 m further on. So head back to another reentrant and dive into the med gr junk again. Explore large ditch for a while until realize error and head straight to it. Later got Baltered when he pointed out the rocky ground symbol used for that one cairn and that should not depend on just one thing. When the brain farts, everthing gets obscured. 1stM60, 9th Gr. Exc for that attackpoint issue nice fun run on good course. Thanks Peggy. | ||

| weight:147lbs shoes: Soloman XA Blue/Yellow | ||
| Beaver Tr - 36, sunny with hint of the clouds/weather to come (and actually arrived as we were trying to enjoy coffee;-{ Snow soft and varied from 2-3" down to a firm layer but good running anyway.
Threw in some speed strides: 5x 15 paces hard/20 rcy. One set going out/another coming back. Overall felt good. Couple days of non running has helped. Nice run listening to footsteps, birds and other non-Ipod things. | ||

| Skiing long (xc) 1:30:00 [1] | |
| weight:147lbs shoes: Fischer Hobacks | ||
| Same as yesterday (w/o the zigzags) - 40, severe clear exc for a brief flock of cumulus mid way through the excursion. Another nice. Snow had frozen up a bit overnight but by the time we got out ;-} the sun had gotten to most of the route and softened things up nicely. The sunny end of the field is getting really thin with soil poking through in spots. Rest has nice cover. The trail was fine - been skied a bunch so had a good track and only a few footprints or snowshoe prints marred it but they mainly stayed to the side. Not so in the fields. There is an entire field to walk across and two sets of prints went right along our track from yesterday. Of course one went down our tracks. As bad as dog owners and leashes. | ||
Tuesday Feb 27 | ||
| Hiking 2:00 [1] | |
| weight:148lbs | ||
| More zigzaging before we headed out. About 1-2" of new snow which cleared fine. The most notable part, and the only reason to log, was:
AOWN: We were seranaded by a female Cardinal throughout the effort. She was perched at the tip of a tall tree in the side yard. | ||

| Mcleans Fields to the woods rd to the main junc and back - 38, grey with peeks of sun, bits of snow and hint of mist towards end. Sticky wet snow, but a surge of inspiration conspired to remember to grab some wax. Just before hitting the snow, spread on some F4 Glide wax and it did the trick. Not sure if it's for xc or dh; doesn't matter as kept us from serious glomming of snow. Nice peaceful day. Saw one guy just after we turned around. Of course, he walked right down the middle of our track. But the snow was soft enough that it didn't matter. Snow was actually quite nice - the dense layer we were running on last week is a perfect base, and the trickly 2-3" received each of the last few days provide nice cover to that. | ||
Monday Feb 26 | ||
| Hiking 15:00 [1] | |
| weight:148lbs | ||
| As there seems to be offence taken about considering snow shovelling as training, I'll report about the hike I took this morning. It was really nice in beautiful winter conditions with about 3" of new snow at 28 deg. The route was rather zigzagy with zigs of about 30' followed by a zag of equal distance. At the end of each zig, a bit of back exercise routine was included though not added separately. No lifting was involved in the zag. The zigs did include pushing a snow shovel around, but that also is not included. May wear the FR next time to measure the accuracy of the route. | ||

Sunday Feb 25 | ||
| Trail run 1:06:00 [1]6.0 mi (10:59 / mi) | |
| weight:147lbs shoes: Attack II | ||
| Purple (sort of) - 37, grey sun. "Plan was to" do the Purple Trail loop, but snow, or rather ice conditions caused a change. The dense snow of a while back remains and a bit of snow, inch or so, fell Friday to renew the cover. The new snow is nice, soft, provides good traction. The old snow, where the sun had gotten to it today, was soft enough and ok. The old snow that the sun or warmth had gotten to and then refrozen without any of the new snow was slick. This was in a few areas esp under the thick pines or hemlock stands. Of course, those bits were usually on the sides of hills for a threatened slide into whatever...a Wyatt type experience without the river. And of course we forgot our slip-on studs - duh!
Main woods road was ok but as soon as we tried the single track Purple trail we hit a very slick side hill. A guy and his dog were heading towards us. A good sign? No! They were bailing. He just had Bean boots and the dog, a husky type, looked ready to pull him off. So we also bailed and headed into nearby fields with nice fluffy covering of snow. Did the rest of the loop up to the final section of Horse Tr, again a section along the side of a steep hill in a hemlock stand. Always slick and today we barely started in. Headed up a long reentrant to the road instead. Nice easy recovery run but we're both weary. Last week didn't provide the needed recooping. Think we'll take it more easy this week until NC. | ||
