| shoes: new Integrators |
| Northeast Sprint Champs at Trout Brook Valley. Good run, started a little slowly, decided I better pick up the pace, but then didn't have any staying power on the uphills. But not too bad. |
| orienteering 16:40 [4]2.37 km (7:02 / km) +50m 6:22 / km | |

| Sprint 2, similar to the first, good run, but a little feeble on the ups. |
| orienteering 18:57 [4]2.25 km (8:25 / km) +75m 7:13 / km | |
| shoes: new Integrators |
| Sprint 3, about the same physically, which is perhaps encouraging as I didn't feel much worse than on the first 2 sprints. Mentally was another matter.... routes/comments. |

| With George, out to take another look at #5 from Sprint 3. Shouldn't have been the slightest problem. |

| trail running 33:13 [3] | |
| shoes: Air Max Trail 09/05 |
| Stopped on the way back from Litchfield to run a little of the Tunxis Trail, heading north from 219 in Barkhamsted. Nice late afternoon, felt ok after I had been going a little, but only had in mind to do 30 minutes, so that's all I did. |

Thursday Oct 20 |
| track 5:37 [5]1.0 mi (5:36 / mi) | |
| shoes: Pegasus 10/05 |
| Stopped at the track just before dark. Plan was to run four quarters hard, and I managed it even though I felt like quitting after each one. 86.0, 83.4, 84.0, 83.9, with about 90 seconds rest between. Not much of a workout, but better than I was on the verge of doing (i.e. nothing). |
| track 13:57 [3]1.75 mi (7:57 / mi) | |
| shoes: Pegasus 10/05 |
| Before and after, included a couple slightly faster 200s to shake out the legs. |
Wednesday Oct 19 |
| road running 35:30 [3]4.3 mi (8:15 / mi) +20m 5:03 / km | |
| shoes: Air Max Trail 09/05 |
| Loop around town, flat. A struggle, legs sore/tired, marginally better towards the end. But better than doing nothing.
Went to Sugarloaf's Movie Night for two films. "Run Like a Girl," old footage from women's running over the past 40 years, and "Five Thousand Meters: Nothing Comes Easy," about 9 guys trying to make the Olympic 5K team in 2004. Both make you want to go train.
Why aren't there films like this about orienteering? |

| trail running 52:10 [4] | |
| shoes: Air Max Trail 09/05 |
| With Phil, Mill River to Atkins Reservoir (28:03) and back (24:07). Progressively harder pace. Nice to have company.
I have to say that there were a number of places where I spotted a rock or a log or a tree and had this image of my head making contact in an unpleasant way. A bit unsettling. |
Monday Oct 17 |
| trail running 32:34 [3] | |
| shoes: Air Max Trail 09/05 |
| Up to the power line (17:54) and back (14:41). A struggle to run a slow pace. Quads felt sore, back a little sore afterwards.
Followed by a round of golf, notable for getting three 2's, one of them on a par 4. No, it wasn't miniature golf. |
