Running (From car dealer) 22:15 [2] 2.3 mi (9:41 / mi)

Dropped the car off - something is loose and rattling around in the steering wheel... Measured half was 450 - flat. First mile all down hill almost. Nice evening for a run.

Walked the rest of the way home.

Mowing/Yard (Mowed lawn) 5:00 [1] 0.0 mi
weight:178lbs (rest day)

I don't record the lawn mowing to be able to claim training anymore...I record it more to see how often I have to mow the lawn. Luckily, it isn't very often - it stays healthier when kept longer through the summer.

Orienteering race (Pohick Bay Green) 1:26:19 [3] *** 5.5 km (15:42 / km) +190m 13:23 / km
slept:4.0 shoes: Silva K80

A beautiful day. Out early before working epunching. Legs a bit sluggish, go figure...though I managed an excellent run-in. Would have been better but I couldn't remember what tree I had stashed the finish control behind.

Trail Run (Fountainhead to Bull Run) 2:30:00 [3] 12.0 mi (12:30 / mi)
slept:8.0 weight:180lbs shoes: Saucony Hurricane 6

Slept better last night. And I was right - the 175 from the day before was very temporary.
Woke up early enough but piddled around answering email, so I didn't leave the house until 7:30 - 7:00 was my goal. Anyway, had one of those stupid mornings where I wasted 15 minutes being mislocated while driving to a park that I have driven to often.
Started my run frustrated for being stubborn and not stopping to sort myself out resulting in a 10 mile detour.
About 6 minutes into the run, I look at my watch and wonder if I can even make the 6 minutes back to the car. I am thinking the last 2 weeks have caught up with me. But I decided to go on a bit further and try to get a couple of miles in. With a GU around mile 5, I did 6 miles out and 6 miles back. Never really felt terrible or really great either.
The trail was leaf covered and I had to really pay attention to the blazes.
And I really need to find a trail shoe that I can bond with. The running shoe is just not enough traction - don't feel like I am getting much push off.
Beautiful day with lots of runners and dogs with owners out.
Miles: 1351 1223 1222 1102 1218 1319 1321 1339 1039 1211 1236 1214
I was 178 after my run...
