Control pick training this morning. This is the first training that I designed myself here in CT, and I think I did an ok job with it. Corpse7 is the only course design program that works on linux, and it definitely took some time to get used to. But better get the learning curve out of the way now rather than wait until Switzerland.

The course itself went pretty well. I messed up number 9 really bad though because I crossed an unmapped trail and let myself get pulled very far off my compass line. I would have hit my control had I stayed on my line, but I was iffy on the first part of the leg and then lost all confidence when I hit the trail.

Went for a run at West Rock, which is basically this giant ridge overlooking the area. The little trails I was on were incredibly rocky and rugged, which was great for testing the progress I've made with my knee.

I was able to go at a pretty decent pace for about 20 minutes before my left leg got tired, which is awesome given the circumstances I was running in, seeing that it was so rocky and I had limited visibility with the sun going down and all.

My left hip is still significantly weaker, so I'll have to start doing some other exercises to try and target other muscles in the area. My left side is currently just as strong, maybe even stronger than my right in the leg raises I'm currently doing, so I'll definitely have to change gears.
