| Maine & Maritimes Championships A meet, Green course. Lots of fields, several trail & road runs, so a pretty fast area. But also somewhat thickish woods and some of the fields were not fast at all. A few small errors, nothing big. Felt basically okay. Beautiful day! 1st on F40; Jim Eagleton, Don Davis & Bob Lux a few minutes faster. |
| Trail 8:00 [3] | |

| Warm up before the race, mostly on the trail. |

| A little woods training at Pawtuckaway. Re-ran parts of the Green course from Sept '01. Trying to stay in contact but got off a few times. Delightful woods, great weather, really nice!! Except for the mosquitos... Glad to have the time to get a run in between visiting K & A and picking up NA at the airport. |

| Nautilus for legs, 5-lb barbells for arms. |
Wednesday Sep 22 |
| Road run 31:42 [3] | |
| |
| Rosedale Park & East Bethesda roads to Georgetown Branch Trail, to Connecticut & back. Morning before a long day at work. Cool, not quite 60, but sunny & calm -- overdressed a bit. Foot sore. |
Tuesday Sep 21 |
| Trail 14:22 [3] | |
| |
| Mostly C&O Canal Towpath, plus some footpaths on Bear Island -- to & from the terrain. |
| Woods run 29:13 [3] | |
| |
| Great Falls, MD, Bear Island. Rocky, open, quite delightful (though the spiderwebs are still out in full force). Right foot a bit sore, and I aggrevated my right Achilles a bit. I think it'll be okay. Top-notch weather (unless I'm being picky, in which case it was a few degrees too warm for comfortable running). Just free-form running through the woods, over the rocks, up & down the small hills. Good stuff. :-) |
Monday Sep 20 |
| Trail 52:46 [3] | |
| |
| Lake Fairfax Park, Reston. From class at Sunrise Valley & Wiehle Rd, across all the very pedestrian un-friendly roads to the trail at Lake Fairfax. Love the trails, through decent woods. All my sore bits (left knee, right foot, right hamstring) hurt to some degree. But the weather was perfect, about 70, clear, & calm, and the route was very nice (except for the half mile to & from the park -- LOTS of cars & waiting to cross busy streets). |

| Hemlock Overlook, Blue course. Nice woods, nice course, except for the last part through the really hilly/green/yucky area. Made a couple mistakes -- turned the wrong way on a hillside & had to run back, and a worse one, when I was almost on top of the control, didn't see it, and thought I was somewhere else -- did a largish loop and ended up in the same place but this time I saw the control. D'oh! Pretty slow mostly but felt strong, running up most of the hills. Great weather for o', around 70 & clear. :-) |
