Walked to the start of the orienteering course from the parking lot.

Did a technically difficult course at Harriman. I walked the whole way and tried to identify as many features as I could on the way. There was one control on a cliff which I attacked from the top and thus couldn't see for about fifteen minutes. But all in all, I think my navigating is slowly getting better.

Running along trail from start/finish of course to parking lot.

To and from start of short orienteering sprint in Forest Park.

Two rounds of the short orienteering sprint in Forest Park and another half of it (collecting controls).

Did 6 strides, about 16 seconds each.

5 minutes of crunches.

Went running in Brooklyn with my friend Adam. It took us 37:30 to get to the boardwalk from his place. Then we circled around for about thirty seconds to get a look at the waves and headed back. It was raining all throughout the run so my sneakers got completely soaked and I got some minor blisters. This was a very easy run, slow enough for non-stop conversation and completely flat. We kept the same pace for the entire run and I didn't feel tired at all when we got back.

10 minutes of crunches
4 x 15 reps bench dips

Ran to the outdoor track in Forest Park today. Did one easy 8-minute mile and then 8 x 400, some fast and some slow. The fastest one was 87 seconds. Then ran home.

Lifted some weights.

Went for a run in Forest Park. It was very hot and humid so I felt like I was barely moving. The distance to and from the park loop was about 2.5 miles. In the park I did a 1.1-mile loop three times with short rests in between. It was a very slow day.

A very easy run in Forest Park. With so many trails on the map and so many new trails in the park, it was entirely too easy to get lost.
