Hanging controls for the VF training. Jogged about half the time; trying to finish in under an hour including driving to the parking spots which I did - just barely.

A pretty sorry outing at today's VF training. I'm not sure if it was the hanging before hand or the beers last night, but after about the second control I couldn't run much at all. Got worried after #6 that I would be out way too late (we didn't start until after 4:30) and we still needed to pick up the controls. I was pretty far out, so I just bailed and ran/walked trails all the way back.

TNT - 3 miles on the track plus the walk over and back, plus a little bit of stretching.

Kept a steady pace of between 2:35 and 2:38 for each lap (in lane 2) with one at 2:30 and one at 2:25 to finish things off. So, getting closer to being able to do 10 minute miles again. 6 months ago 10 minute miles were routine but 6 weeks ago they seemed impossible. Progress.

C • Keep it up 2

Core workout plus some extended stretching and a few yoga poses.

Too much time on the computer today; my neck is really stiff this evening.

TNT - three miles on the drive at just under 11 minute pace, plus the down and up. Not fast, but at least I did string together 3 miles.

Karl had some great stories to tell of his trip to Minnesota with Outward Bound to learn how to dogsled.

Stayed overnight in White Haven and did some more woods work at Hickory Run this morning. I pretty much had had it after three hours; not a good sign for doing a 24 hour rogaine.

I think I've checked any and all features that might make good control sites and also noted where the woods are nice, where they're not so nice and where some map corrections need to be made.

The weather is supposed to be crappy the next few days, but today was another gorgeous day. I was overdressed, and that's pretty hard for me!
