orienteering 1:12:36 [4] 7.6 km (9:33 / km) +1050ft 7:53 / km

Local meet at Mt. Tom. Ran not so bad. Routes and comments.

It would be nice if my legs would stay healthy long enough to get some decent fitness back. I've got some good motivation to do the work, partly from some events I want to go to next year, and partly from feeling so bad at some recent events and wanting/needing to get away from that.

trail running 7:00 [2]

A bit of easy jogging afterwards.

Note

I've been spending some time looking at old maps and in the process reliving some good memories. It's also good motivation to get back in shape. I hope to add some maps and stories to my website on a frequent basis. I'm starting off with candidates for my best runs ever. I imagine at some point I'll balance things out with some of the worst....

road running 35:49 [3] 4.5 mi (7:58 / mi)

trail running 48:23 [3] 5.3 mi (9:08 / mi)

Over on the low route to Middle Mt., long grind up it to the power line, back along the line and North Mt. Decent effort, working on my breathing (the things you forget when you don't train much....). Continuing to do a bunch of stretching and massage (Gail has a cylinder-shaped device that combined with my body weight does a number on any complaining muscle). Don't know where this will lead but I have to try something.

Western Connecticut local meet at Sessions Woods (site of day 1 of their A meet a year ago). Perfect day. Didn't have the muscles aches of last week, which was a real pleasant surprise. Routes and comments

Felt so good I did a little loop on the trails afterwards....
