| Woke up dehydrated and legs were feeling quite beat.
Spent about 3 hours in the afternoon at Osbornedale, field-checking points for the Relay Champs. Made some good progress, in fact made some really good progress, especially psychologically, as this has been hanging over my head for a long time and I just haven't been able to get going on it. Woods are very nice, especially for summertime, most places are no different than they would be with the leaves down, at least where I'm sending the courses. Ought to work really well for a relay. I didn't get going until about 1 pm, most of the morning was spent on possible course designs, interrupted more than once by trying to get the latest sprint standings posted. Left Osbornedale about 6:15, came back via Waterbury, stopped there to take a quick look at a public course I'd never been to (East Mountain). Got there at 6:55, asked the pro if I could play just a few holes, he gave me a scorecard and smiled and said he was leaving at 7:00 and then I could do what I wanted (i.e. at no charge). By the time I fetched my clubs he was gone, and I enjoyed a quick 6 holes in the waning daylight. Which unfortunately is coming sooner these days. Home by 9:30, in a very good mood after a productive day. | ||

| hike (with pack, 6 pounds) 39:01 [2]2.6 mi (15:01 / mi) +340m 6:38 / km | |
| shoes: Montrail #2 | ||
| Back from a nice trip to Maine, a couple nice visits, some good rogaine practice, and a lot of good food. Up to the top of Toby. Hot and humid, not feeling too zippy, and time was a minute faster than before. Must be well rested. Certainly not overtrained. And certainly not wasting away, though the current value of the G is temporarily classified.

| And then run back down via the S curves. Sweating like crazy, didn't feeling particularly speedy, but time was a minute faster here too. Maybe the stride is just getting a little looser. Still a touch of soreness in the left quad, almost in the left ITB, I'm not sure. Only noticeable on the steep downhills.
---------- On the trip to Maine I did some unplanned further research into the FDF matter, as I came across another product for dealing with them --  While this is specifically aimed at horse flies, it claims to deal with FDFs too (well, actually it just claims to deal with DFs too). The only problem might be figuring out a way to bring it along. At 2' x 2' x 5.5' (and an unknown weight), that would not be a trivial problem. Though I'd guess it would be really, really good rogaine training, especially if you were going off-trail at all. But maybe it is destined for stationary use, perhaps in estate settings. Chez DeWeese? More details. | ||

| road running 48:13 [3] | |
| In Camden, Maine, visiting Gail's aunt and uncle. A pre-breakfast run from their house over to Mount Battie, then up it on a nice trail, about 550' climb, legs felt good, great views from the top, then down the steep rocky ridge back into town. And within a couple of minutes my left outside quad was cramping/hurting and my right one was thinking of doing the same thing, so it turned into a very slow and careful and uncomfortable descent. Ran back the last mile on the streets, leg quite sore.
This has happened a couple of times before, both times I was doing a lot of biking. Don't know what's going on, but I don't like it. At least the legs felt good going up! | ||
