| Veterans Day 10K - third man 35-39, 16 seconds over my PR. Not bad given my less than ideal from the standpoint of tapering physical activity the previous day - felt as though my perhaps somewhat fatigued leg musculature rather than my cardiovascular system was the limiting factor. Still, I was in surprisingly good shape in 1998 for not really being in training - the vast cycling distances getting to and from dance classes while living in Rockville and hammering up that one big hill on my commute every day worked surprisingly well in retrospect (this was also the year I set my marathon PR on hardly any running in the preceding month and a half). |
| Hiking 2:00:00 [2] | |

| Cycling portions of round trip to Rosaryville. |
| Hiking 2:30:00 [1] | |
| |
| Just over 5 hours in the terrain at Rosaryville, discounted as usual for standing still a lot. Had rather unusual deer encounter in that I was standing still and the deer was the one that came running by less than 10 meters away. I assume it didn't realise I was there but it didn't seem at all alarmed when I said hello. Deaf, perhaps? Maybe predators other than humans aren't enough of a problem around here for that to be impossible. |
Friday Nov 9 |
| Cycling 56:30 [3] | |
| |
| Cycling to work. Didn't actually time it but felt good so logging it a bit shorter than default. Directly home in the evening, as far as I now recall. |

Thursday Nov 8 |
| Cycling 1:05:00 [3] | |
| |
| To work. Home by way of PCRM volunteer party. |
| Core exercises 10:00 [4] | |
| |
| Abdominal stuff. |
| Strength 15:00 [2] | |
| |
| One-legged squats with backpack. Actually wondering whether I ought to do fewer of these and/or back off on the weight a little bit - nothing broken yet and maybe twinges are nothing to worry about/psychosomatic but perhaps I've been doing these long enough to start in with more explosive stuff. |
Wednesday Nov 7 |
| Cycling 1:02:00 [3] | |
| |
| Cycling to work. Home by way of the pool. |
| Swimming 11:00 [3] | |
| |
| Flutterkicking warmup. |
| Deep Water Running 36:00 [4] | |
| |
| Another 10K-like effort. It's going to be hard to shift to doing longer pool sessions over the winter - may have to get a waterproof MP3 player to amuse myself with. |
Tuesday Nov 6 |
| Cycling 57:00 [3] | |
| |
| Cycling to work and home again. |
| Strength 15:00 [2] | |
| |
| One-legged squats with backpack. I think these are feeling a bit easier but suppose the adaptation may be psychological as much as physical. Not easy yet by any means so think I'll wait a while before thinking of adding any more resistance. Kind of wish I had a scale to know how much the backpack weighs but not enough to overcome my historic reluctance to obsess over measuring my training precisely. |

| C • Precisely...? 1 |
| Core exercises 8:00 [4] | |
| |
| Now that I revisit my log, I'm pretty sure I did a session of abdominal exercises too. |
