Putting out controls for tomorrow's Score-O event at Landahl. Very cold, but registration tomorrow will probably start in the single digits.

Sore and tired, and I had a lot of PTOC business to attend to. Skipped working out and had my first massage in two months. Feeling much better.

After yesterday's all-day project and climbing very steep hills, I thought my breathing was good. Not so. I went to the allergist this morning, and they wouldn't give me an allergy shot because my air flow was much lower than normal. Try again Monday.

Then I went to see Jared tonight, and I had sore glutes and quads from the hills yesterday. I was really sweating during the workout. A new type of plank workout. In plank position, I reach with my right arm under my body and pick up an 8-lb sandbag from my left side and place it on the right. Then reverse. Four sets of eight repetitions. Wow!

So happy to have gone to Weston Bend yesterday. Really cold wind and falling temps all day.

Went to Weston Bend to put up flagging. Talked with the person-in-charge for almost an hour, then spent about 4.5 out in the woods, climbing up and down hills and rocks. Everything went well, except for the white course. I couldn't find a couple of the trails I had planned to use, and got into lots of gnarly stuff like multiflora. I'm too tired to put it in the map tonight, but happy about being out there when the weather is great.

Nice day, but it will be cold later this week, for 2-3 weeks. Also, since I'm in the relay the end of next week, I need to practice a little running for my teammates. Twenty-one runs down the driveway, and twenty-one walks back up the driveway. That's what I counted, but then I took ElRay out and walked her down the driveway a few times, and ran back up. Lots of good heavy breathing to clean out my lungs.
