AM : early walk to start, dynamic stretching, easy jogging, got to start just right, no more than a 2 min wait. Wore Garmin and did not keep time, so lucky I wasn't late.
PM: just easy walk/jog uphill to start (5 min)

Hawn SP - Middle O - green course. Left 2, headed S into the dead fall and backtracked left to trail up ridge. Boom to 10. Saw Mary Jones leaving 9 ahead of me and I thought she was taking a direct or a route more to the left. First left 9 going higher to roughly contour around 1st bowl of rentrants, then lost concentration while climbing and climbing going to the knoll just E of the direct line. Ended up on a trail 100m further NE than I thought and ran the trail to the opposite side of the reentrant NE of the control. An aha moment - knew where I was and slowly got to 10. Having not practiced this sport much recently, one mistake wasn't bad. QuickRoute

Hawn SP - afternoon campground sprint course. easy walk to start from parking area. 1-2 - legs felt tired and stiff, better from 2-3. 4-5 took power line to the left and down, didn't see that the straight shot wasn;t that steep. 7-8 straight to nose of ridge then contoured around; didn't even see the road as a choice. Near finish and thought I still had to find a #13.

Thought about doing an ice bath afterwards for quicker recovery.

After work, cooked dinner, then watched KU-KSU game (the good guys won). Damon called and said he'd pick Dee up from the airport, so I was
able to get more sleep before the trip to Hawn Friday.

AM - ran from Allen FH to GSP/Corbin and back (about 2.5 mi); then Dog Days calisthencis, then 6 laps (3 on lvl 2, 3 on lvl 3)

Red Dog was back to lead us in exercises different from Kenny Baldwin's sets. More stretching at first. Emphasis - core muscles.

7 AM - to Dunn Bros (but didn't see the 7 at 7 group), so headed to 27th, Haskell campus, back via James Naismith's grave. Saw Karen Hyde on her run at Haskell. Sunny, no wind, 26F. 3 Clif Blks, Gatorade. Even though I raced yesterday, it was short, need to to get thsoe long runs in consistently now. Biofreeze on left back side overnight - couldn't sleep on that side.
