| Went to WRSP for the day. No one there when we arrived. 2 one-hour sessions with lunch in the middle. It started to snow after lunch and got about 1-2 inches by the time I was finished. |

| Orienteering (course checking) 2:10:00 [3] 8.6 km (15:07 / km) +120m 14:08 / km | |
| shoes: Salomon XA Pro 3D (2007, gray) |
| Checking points and taping for the Nerstrand event. Had about 3-4 inches of snow with some crust on the top from a short period of freezing rain.
As set now, 8.6 km is the straight-line optimal route. I've got a plan for adjusting if the snow is deeper by the time of the meet, but I don't want a lot of people being able to get them all in 90 minutes. |
Thursday Dec 20 |
| Trail Run 55:00  4.5 mi (12:13 / mi) | |
| shoes: Salomon XA Pro 3D (2007, gray) |
| Good hard trail/snow running at Battle Creek. Went off trail several times, and in some places it was almost easier since the snow wasn't packed so unevenly. |

| Jerritt is right - it feels bad not to have anything in the log for the past 7 days! Did a late evening run down Summit - Fairview - Jefferson. Brought the watch to pace myself to 8:00. Fun looking at all the Christmas light displays on Summit. |

Monday Dec 3 |
| Note | |
| (rest day) |
| My calves are sore from all the climb yesterday. Since there were a lot of flat areas, the slopes were relatively steeper than if the same amount of climb had been distributed over the entire 16K. |

| Possum Trot at Shawnee Mission Park. A fun fast run - tried to stay up with the 2nd pack but got peeled off the back going up and down the steep reentrants near #23. Caught up with Tom on the last section and skipped 32-33 for an easy finish. |

| Moderately easy course at Woodridge Park outside of Lawrence. Navigated well but the tall grass fields were really draining. Kept up with Steven G for much of the course but had to let him go at the end. |
