| I was less happy with this run. Seriously messed up on #2 - I was not paying attention and ran up a parallel stream before the one I wanted. Everything matched up until I thought I had gone farther than I should have and then hit a trail that wasn't supposed to be there...doh! And #8 - this was even stupider. Came out of the refreshment stop, feeling very refreshed, and ran down one finger to the left, but when I hit the woods, navigated as though I had run down the finger to the right. Again, everything matched up fine until I hit a big, fat ditch and then a trail, neither of which were supposed to be there. Oh, well...live and learn...hopefully! |

| I was very happy with this run. The orienteering was not extremely difficult, so I didn't have any problems with the controls. My biggest error was a stupid veering off between 12 and 13 that put me in the middle of a field of sticker bushes. So stupid. That lost me about 5 mins and dropped me back one place. Otherwise, I was pleased...first time under 10 min/km in a long time. But I guess if you're going to do that, this is the place. |

| Running 28:46 [3]3.0 mi (9:34 / mi) | |

| Ran my usual course through the neighborhood. There was more traffic than I had expected on a non-school day (Election Day...make sure you vote!). It felt like I was going so slow...I had increased my weights during Sunday's weight training, and I could still feel it in my legs. However, when I finished my run, the time was just about where it has been on the days that I felt like I was flying. Isn't it weird how your mind plays such an important part in how you feel while working out? |

| Cycling 1:00:00 [2]17.3 mi (3:27 / mi) | |

| Another hour logged on the trainer. I should start keeping track of my distances and plot out my course on a trans-US highway...maybe Rt. 50. Start in Ocean City, MD and finish in San Francisco (I believe that's where it ends). The movie tonight was an all-time favorite (although the books were better)...Lord of the Rings: Return of the King. |
