 | Orienteering race 1:49:00 [3] *** 9.6 km (11:21 / km) | |

| Short Stumble at Little Bennett Regional Park, Clarksburg, MD. I had contemplated doing the Long Stumble (~17 km), but decided I didn't want to possibly hurt my knee. It was an extremely hot day (low 90s), but I think I could have done the Long. When I finished the Short, I felt like I could have done some more. I didn't have any real problems at all; just a little off (but within eyesight) of a few controls. I was running well and didn't get hurt, except for a few small blisters/hot spots on my feet.
It was fun to run with different people throughout the course, including Don Davis and my brother, Erik. For the second half of the course, though, I pretty much didn't see anyone. All in all, a good day.

| Running 44:29  | |
| |
| I ran some hill intervals today. I parked at the pool and ran about a mile warm-up, then 5 hill intervals at about 2:10 per interval, and then the cool down back to the car. This felt pretty good, although I could definitely feel it in my legs on the last interval. |

| Running 43:29 [3] 4.6 mi (9:27 / mi) | |

| The Hood Loop. I almost didn't run this morning, but as I was opening my front door to check the weather, a perfect V of geese was flying overhead, and it filled me with such a good feeling, that I decided it was a sign for me to go running. And it was fine Tuesday morning run. I was especially delighted to find that my knee is still feeling good. I think it is the weirdest thing that after Sunday's run, I didn't feel any pain. It's almost like I knocked something out of place in my knee during my run at Hemlock, and then it fell back into place on this past Sunday.
Another weird happening today was my trash sightings...10 empty cigarette packs. That's 10 packs in only 4.6 miles. That seems like a lot to me, especially since all you hear is that smoking is on the decline. I also learned that Newport seems to be a popular brand. |

| Just an easy session of yoga to stretch everything out from the weekend. My knee was remarkably not sore this morning, for which I am eternally grateful. |
