| Surebridge Day 2 - 70, clear. Good run, esp having psched out most of course Sat night. Still had trouble in same mt laurel as Sat on way to 7. Plan was to run white/red dot trail if this kind of leg came up. Well it did and I got on trail until it craftily zigged around a cliff and I went straight and lost it. Then tried to push thru the laurel. Eventually got to the tr and back up to the mt laurel rough open w trees area. Probably should just have gone straight at that point - up the way I came down Sat. Or even better seems to have been to go R out of 6 to bottle tr and up stream reentrant. Trouble with planning too far in advance.
OMA (Old Man Aches!) - Calf went ok. Developed hot spot on L heel going to 7 which was rubbed bare when took sock off. Shoe stitching in area worn loose so maybe that's it. Going down hill to 9, caught toe on stick and could see only many contours to tumble down and rocks to bounce off. Fortunately recovered but jammed R big toe in process. So reinjured toe that was about half grown out from last incident. At finish toe was swollen and turned from half normal/half blk & blue to all B&B. Very tender on way home - so took my advice to other recently and tried to relieve pressure with needle under nail routine. Trouble is with a half regrown nail is it tends to curve under making getting a needle under difficult. Finally found opening to one side that drained a bit. Pressure still there. So later tried again and able to get under the new nail bit for a major spurt of red fluid and instant relief!!! aah! Still woke up about 3 with major throb and barely able to walk to bathroom. In morning still a bit tender, but is only slightly sore now (8 pm). Know it sounds awful, but no feeling if go directly under nail. AOWN - Got home last night to a destroyed bird feeder. Looks like the sunflower seed was too tempting for the local bears. doesn't like thistle though as both of those were lest alone. Also got home to the welcoming sight of a major flock of daffodills! Amazing what a little sunshime and warmth will do. Very sweet. | ||

| Surebridge Chall Day 1 - 60, clear with light clouds at start to keep it cooler, getting warm as run goes. Tried to be very careflu and keep in contact. Bobbled 3, continuing on R stream and missing turn to L & bag. 7, headed R on main trail, missing bottle tr for a bit. Stopped when turn didn't happen and realized problem. Turned L and straight up to bag. L calf knotted badly just as hit that main trail; was able to run it out though the knot remains. Major problem with 10: Stayed R out of 9 going low with intention of going over rock flat. Missed it and went up later, passing control that turned out to be Day 2 #7. Then down into lots of mt laurel that is mapped as rough open with trees! WTF? Struggled thru trying to figure location and not trusting map now. Finally hit trail and rest was fine.

Green - Day 1 - Splits | ||
Friday Apr 20 | ||
| Trail run 36:00 [1] | |
| weight:149lbs shoes: DS Trainer XII | ||
| Beaver Tr - 55, clear - finally. Good run with sets of random length strides/rcy both ways. Felt good. Back still stiff but doesn't bother on run, just sitting around. So as Lyn will say= Get off your butt! | ||
Thursday Apr 19 | ||
| Trail run 51:00 [1] | |
| weight:146lbs shoes: DS Trainer X | ||
| Purple loop, shortened to drop down by Spring Pond - 48, grey to start, clearing and sunny by end. Easy run to loosen legs though not feeling all that spritely.
Back has been bothering since after Sunday, probably from carrying the controls in one hand and running. Mon, the muscle on my lower R back was tight, same side as held control bag. Same Tues but improving. Wed went birdwatching out in cold and after entire lower back was tight, as it remains today, esp if sit around. Ok once moving around - spent afternoon turning compost, cutting down grasses and picking some of the winter debris. Spring is threatening. More flower out - daff almost. Finished "Silence of the Grave" Another iceland saga. | ||
Tuesday Apr 17 | ||
| Trail run 1:06:00 [1]6.0 mi (10:59 / mi) | |
| weight:147lbs shoes: Salomon XA 2 | ||
| Purple loop - 40, lt rain at start, bit of sun by end. Maybe the deluge has ended! No - has started again. Easyish run, felt good at start but became a plod. So threw in some speed strides - 15 paces hard/30 easy.
Trails well drained for all the rain. Only one short section of the horse trail remained under water. Other long sections of trail/road had been well scrubbed along the stream, er- river. Stream was right up to its banks but had been up at least another foot flowing down the woods road along side for major stretches. So we had to go check out the bridges which had all become dislodged last year after much less water flow. All were in excellent shape though the approaches on all three had been flooded over. The rebuild was well done. Only one of the bridges had water reach it with evidence of debris on the deck and it was in good shape. | ||

| This is the Official Announcement! - Spring is here. Or in other words, I took the snows off and have summers on. So no more yuck weather. | ||
