| Well an indoor workout at Carthage College at the Indoor Track. No problem getting in and I met Steve W for 8 X 400 at 1:30 avg.
Not bad for the first time in a long time. This will become a weekly workout now till the snow flys and we begin grooming Parkside again. As usual we say that even during ski season we should still run at least once a week, but on a Tuesday night when the skiing is great how can you go to a gym and run inside ??? |

| Orienteering Meet race 3:04:00 [4] **** 16 km (11:30 / km) | |
| spiked:22/25c |
| 3 hour Turkey Score O, Hawn State Park. Yes the Hawn St Park.
It was perfect weather, about 45 degrees, slightly cold on the bare hands.
It seemed that Kevin had the same course laid out, except I followed the crowd to the wrong first control and i could never catch Kevin after 4 controls. This was all because me not being ready at the start, I had no insoles for my O shoes, oops and my water was not coming out of my camel back. The race started and I was still at the car fixing stuff. I did not give near enough thought to the route, though it was ok plan, just head to the west to the best part of the map and near the end, work the controls in the green area. I never got to the green area and with my few bobbles came in 3.5 minutes late or 4 control penalty. I don't know the results but it was a great day and I saw just about no one on the course while i ran. |

| Down road 2 miles in wind ,rain and cold. Just the challenge I need.
The tempo 2 back with the north wind pushing me was nice, kinda felt like a guiding hand, too bad I was not running to fast. porbably skip the Kenosha Turkey Day Run cause I saw that the Bodeans were playing at the Brat Stop as I happen to drive by this morning. Now that is close, I bought the ticket after school and of course the main band always starts late. |
