Orienteering 40:00 [1]
(injured)
Map hike with Kat and Peter on a map from the Gotland 2-days that Ulrik lent me. The terrain is interesting - very vague contour features and low visibility, combined with lots of thorny bushes. Fast if you are right on, but can get very slow if you miss by even just a bit.

Event: Gotland Orienteering Week
Orienteering 1:08:38 [2] **
(injured) shoes: 2006 VJ Falcons
Running around an old course that I had toilet-paper-streamered earlier in Stadsskogen with Kat and LittleMonkey, who is visiting for a week. It was fun to follow them around to the controls, but i actually felt pretty tired. I think i will take tomorrow off as we travel to Gotland for some races.

Running 38:12 [3] 5.0 mi (7:38 / mi)
ahr:144 max:157 (injured) shoes: Asics 2006
Morning run with Kat's heartrate monitor watch and footpod. That thing is fun! Ran around the paths in Stadsskogen, moving pretty quickly, and jogged to the park and back slowly with Kat.
Running 33:07 [2] 4.01 mi (8:16 / mi)
(injured) shoes: 2006 VJ Falcons
Running with Kat from the clubhouse to the start of the course and then back to the clubhouse. Saw sheep, horses, lots of snails, and a deer.
Orienteering 45:58 [4] ***** 4.4 km (10:27 / km)
spiked:12/18c shoes: 2006 VJ Falcons
Running a middle distance training course (4.4km, 18 controls) in one of the most fun and technical parts of Nasten. I had run this course previously, in late September, and really enjoyed it, so decided to do it agai. I was pretty disappointed with myself - lots of mistakes, especially early on, and I wasn't very disciplined and did not look at the map enough times. I also didn't trust myself and went into "relocation mode" a couple of times when I was very near the control, but things got better towards the end, and I finished well. Still, not the kind of feeling I'd like to have with just four weeks till the WOC middle qualifier...
Orienteering 25:00 [1]
Map hiking through the most technical part of the course with Kat. I made her walk from control to control and say out loud each feature she saw (in all directions) and anticipated to see and also made her described what she expected to see as she entered the control circle. It was fun and a great way to force myself to think about these things as well.

Biking 2:00:00 [1]
(injured)
A nice long bike ride on rented bikes around Uto with Kat. We explored most of the island and found a beautiful sandy beach to have lunch on before returning through a military training area. Lots of fun on a beautiful sunny day! Biking didn't hurt the hamstring at all, which was a nice change...

Kayaking 1:30:00 [1]
Kat and I went out to the island of Uto in the Stockholm archipelago and rented a kayak. After a half-hour of battling with the waves on the Baltic, we landed on a small island inhabited, oddly, by a deer and dried ourselves. Apparently, we looked like we were shipwrecked, as a military boat came by, landed, and a Swedish soldier came out, asking if we needed help. Having proudly refused help, we then went back into the water and proceeded to struggle for another hour or so before giving up and returning to harbour.
Running 1:00:38 [3] 8.87 mi (6:50 / mi)
(injured) shoes: Asics 2006
After a nice nap in the afternoon, I went for a run exploring Uto. Ran out for a half hour and then did a fartlek on the way back, trying to run fast up whatever hills I found.

Running 35:49 [3] 4.62 mi (7:45 / mi)

A Sandra-recommended pre-breakfast run in the light drizzle. Ran two ski loops in Stadsskogen, trying to avoid the myriad snails on the paths, mostly successfully.

Normal flexibility exercises.

Running 51:17 [1] * 5.1 mi (10:03 / mi)
(injured) (sick) shoes: Asics 2006
Most of the standard loop around Stadsskogen at easy pace, with Kat navigating.
Running 39:18 [2] 4.91 mi (8:00 / mi)
shoes: Asics 2006
Running to and from Sten Sture hill and jogging between intervals.
Running 10:40 [5] 2.4 km (4:27 / km) +200m 3:08 / km
shoes: Asics 2006
Decided to finally start running intervals again and went over to Sten Sture hill, the one nice hill around here, to do a few hill intervals to see how it feels. Ran up Gula Stigen from the bottom up to the monument and down the other side as rest. Ended up doing eight reps - up each side four times. Felt pretty good, but stopped after jut eight to be careful and not overdo it.
Splits: (the left side is going North, right going South).
1:19.7 1:21.3
1:18.8 1:22.3
1:17.4 1:20.3

Rest was about 1:35-1:45 jogging downhill.

Note
Went to see Thonny Wall, a naprapth recommended by Rob. He diagnosed me as having a partially torn hamstring (no surprise there) and did some vibration massage, as well as regular massage. He thinks he can heal it in three visits or so. We'll see. At the very least, there is some hope. Will see him again on Friday, and Kat will come see him for her knees, ankle, and calves...
