Event: WCOC Ansonia Nature Center meet
 

warm up

WCOC Ansonia, Red course

A bit hungover, left glute hurting uphill, lots of rocky grounds. Big mistake to 6 going too far right and downhill + lots of extra loops close to the controls.
Beautiful day and great to be out there though.

FR 8.458 km

Red - Splits

In the search for a new pilates class: CT Pilates Center less than 5min away from our house. They only have one mat class per week though, Saturday morning. Pretty nice, body toning using three types of balls (big, small and weight), the traditional pilates moves but adding equipment. Did squats against the wall with big ball in between, forced you to have a good form, cool.

My left glute felt sore and twingy, think I might have pulled it during zumba Friday, there are some pretty violent ass shaking moves.
Anyway figured a trail run could loosen it up. Went up the ridge of West Rock, on top and down to the lake via the orange trail. Some parts of these trails consist of sharp rocks, slow.
Popped out on the white trail and there was an older couple with two big black poodles, un-leached. One of them ran at me, I said Hey and tried to relax (hide my fear) it started jumping and bit my arm, fortunately not through the shirt. The owners were trying to call him, and I shouted "he bit me".. finally dog went over to them, no apology :(
A lap around the lake, and chasing the last of the daylight back home.

Calla's class @ the Edge gym in Milford. We danced to "Thriller" =)

Run with Mike & Boris at West Rock. Warm out. Rain and fog, really nice and easy to breathe. Ran with o-shoes which worked well in the wet and slippery. Haven't used them for a while and noticed how bad the support is, underside of my feet is hurting afterwards.

When I got out of the shower I heard Mike was talking to somebody downstairs. Turns out to be Neil who was unable to contact us with a dead cellphone and showed up just after we took off =( He had explored West Rock on his own though.

Head lamp jog/hike with Mike. Tricky with the leaves covering rocks and roots (and finding the trails in the dark, as you can tell by the gps track).

On my own at home.

to & from the gym. warm out.

They gotta do something about this room! Thermometer said 77 degrees F, full class, lack of oxygen. I was soaked in sweat, really pushing myself though.

Same problem with the shoes pushing on the sore area on my left foot.
