Training Log Archive: Sandy

4.3 km Brown course at Hickory Run. Some good legs, some use of sketchy features on what otherwise could have been good legs, some easy legs and some boring legs since I had already done them during the night-o. My back was really sore from doing the night-o and jogging some of the trails and roads on that and then sleeping on the wooden bunks in the cabins. So running was not an option and toady was all at a steady walk. Spiked pretty much everything though so that was good.

And, I had one pair of new contacts that I was planning to test this weekend and they worked well. So hopefully I can start using them for orienteering again now that I have my allergy issues under control. So eyewear success!

3.1 km Advanced Night-O course. Dithered about going out or not and by the time I decided I did want to go out, Anne had given up hope and bailed so then I didn't have a buddy. I was tired enough and I'm feeling fragile enough that there was no way I was going out there on my own, but Sam Kolins took pity on me and agreed to "shadow" me around the course since he still had plenty of energy after doing the course.

Was good up to 4 but then I just could not read the map as my glasses fogged up big time and I had to resort to just looking at the map without any glasses which means I can sort of see some things like roads and so on but not details. I know that park well enough that it wasn't a total disaster but I somehow got totally turned around on the way to #5. I mean really discombobulated - I was sure south was one direction when it was about 120 degrees in a different direction. Finally bailed, hit something I recognized and then went pretty much right to the control. But probably a 12-13 minute error. Hit everything else without too much trouble but had to ask Sam occasionally to decipher some of the details on the map. So fail on the eyewear. But glad I went out.

Advanced - Splits

Kelly workout. Really liked today's workout for some reason.

Yoga class. Still not sure if my knee can handle this well enough to make it worthwhile.

Kelly workout. Sweatfest.

Time to start trying to jog again! Four short bits of jogging on the drive with Sandy - two lightposts jogging; 4 walking. Plus down and up.
