Note
(rest day)
No energy. A blah day and did nothing even though an afternoon bike ride would have been good. Dinner with Dee and Damon at the Nagoya Restaurant. A bento box again; it was good.

biking (road bike) 1:41:35 [2] 23.6 mi (13.9 mph)
slept:8.0 shoes: Specialize Sport MTB
Lawrence Loop - rode thru Mutt Run Road to get to Arboretum. Very rough for road bike tires. Managed, but won't do that again. A little sluggish at the stay, but felt better later on. Mild breeze from the west; temp: 70F - much nicer than the 90+ yesterday.
I spotted 2 indigo buntings - one along the Martin Park Rd just before getting to Queens; then another along the newly paved Rock Chalk Park bike path. I was proud of myself for remembering the species. It was about 4th grade when drew pictures of birds. The shade of blue was so different from a bluebird. Then saw a deer in clearing along the Rock Chalk bike path.

orienteering 26:52 [3] *** 2.64 mi (10:11 / mi)
14c slept:6.0 shoes: Hoka One One
Ran the OK Sprint course from June 3rd on KU's West Campus. Familiarity with mapped area can cause errors if I don;t read the map carefully. Error at point #7 - slow to digest clue as "under the bridge." Gate was opened to construction area at #8. Buildings didn't match up, looked to my right and saw the corner of the building I was supposed to go and circled back out.
Without markers misread pt #11 - ran by the manmade object up to the bend in the wall (there were construction workers there already, but that's not the excuse. Basically a 90 degree error reading the shape of the building. Tired at the start of the Dog Days workout - so not in the best shape physcially and mentally this morning.

orienteering 9:37 [3] 0.8 mi (12:02 / mi)
shoes: Hoka One One
Window O' -
errors:
1. did a 180 going to pt #1 (nearly got to front of Nichols Hall when I should have gone to SW corner of Youngberg.
Pt #4 - My hunch was right where to go to find #4, but got close and didn't see the trail head and went further W before figuring the orientation of Nichols Hall didn't fit where I was. Back to corner of the field and found the trail.
Pt #5 - stared at the building stone sin and spent way more time trying to line up the parking lot corner to confirm the location.

strength/stretching (Dog Days) 25:00 [3]
DD#4 - did just the exercises and drills and skipped the run. I thought I was scheduled for an EKG stress (treadmill) test), but the appointment was set up wrong, so it was postponed until next Monday. Twice now my doctor's office has miscommunicated my appointments and had to reschedule.

DD #4 - exercises and drills before run/walk and stretching afterwards.
running/walking 14:00 [2] 1.0 mi (14:00 / mi)
shoes: Brooks Pureflow 5
4 laps walk/run with last lap running stadium steps on the west side (up/down each aisle). Went very easy on the run/walk around the track. Put some effort on the steps (anaerobic threshold but easy on the legs - one step at a time and no bounding).
