| No one at the forest this AM so ran the sampler before heading into work. About halfway through, decided to follow a new bike trail - nice winding trail dropped me out on Sodom opposite the Shenipsit Trail - so I took that which cut probably 800m or so off the distance... A few walking breaks on the hills... not into it this AM, chest tight. |

| parked outside Forest Park to avoid larcenous out of state parking fees. Checked watch - 9:54 - for a 10am start and I didn't know where that was - ran some trails and through some streams coming up by the zoo - luckily saw PG warming up and pointed me to the start - also lucky they don't start on time... |
| Road Run race (Snowstorm Classic - Santa) 20:53 [4]5 km (4:11 / km) vdot: 47.3 | |
| shoes: Adidas Response Trail XI |
| Cool, drizzly day - but want to get one real run in before end of year. PG & the Walkers were there. Started behind everyone(about 100 or so) and started zig zagging past people up the hill. Legs felt really good, but poor lung capacity slowed me down. Held a pretty steady pace (I think) throughout.
Happy with the result considering my total lack of anything resembling exercise iin the past few months |
Sunday Dec 17 |
| Fieldwork (Crandalls) 3:20:00 [1] | |
| shoes: Kumasi GTX |
| Spent the morning doing field work on top of the hill. Although everything is in the correct spot, I think I'll go over this section again as the subtle contours are subject to a lot of interpretation and quite a bit of deviation from the basemap. Lots of little rock outcrops and bare rock knolls that will surely need tweaking..
24 hours of fieldwork so far, about 0.9 km done |

| Bike - Road (commute) 50:00 [3]20 km (2:30 / km) | |
| shoes: Cannondale ST1000 |
| Got my ass out on the bike this AM - (ok, the car is in the shop). Boy I'm out of shape. The short route, but certainly not as lively as it was back in September. Feet were a bit cold when I got in, but otherwise just feeling the lack of general conditioning... |
| Bike - Road (commute) 50:00 [3]20 km (2:30 / km) | |
| weight:170lbs shoes: Cannondale ST1000 |
| home - 50F, leave at sunset - took direct route to minimize riding after dark, lots of traffic, but felt stronger than I did this AM (but not strong by any means) It'd be nice if I could continue to commute occassionally, but I think it unlikely unless circumstances force me... |
