ran the yellow course as a warm-up. O so little needed to just run on a map to refresh myself on using the compass etc. Felt more like Park-O just have only done this a couple of times. The woods were very open.

Finished the yellow, downloaded, drank some water and went back out for course #2. Ran somewhat well on trail still slows me down versus the roads. Based a little bit on the fact that Tim beat me yet I have faster road racing times. Technically the difficulty was equal to the yellow course just the terrain was a little tougher with a little more time which translates into slowing me down. Almost went out on a third course.

Ate some of the food I brought and went out for a run. Went around some of the areas off the map- Didn't you hear me scream when I fell off? Made a big loop. saw lots of wildlife on the far end; I think this is where it all went with all of us in the woods.

Sprint: Long - Splits

Ran on the Greenway trail inspecting parts of it for possible upgrade plus took some pictures. Afterwards went to a meeting with others who had checked out other sections. Ended up being a REAL long meeting, but rather productive since the group seems committed to getting some of these upgrades done. The trail was incredibly fast or maybe I'm improving since the dirt was solid from the consistent cold weather. Only cold for about the first mile otherwise the sun kept me warm.

Another cold and windy day. Really want to put some mileage in on Saturday.

Building mileage being careful not to do it so fast. It is easy for me just to build up mileage too fast and quickly be in the 80's and 90's. Another very cold night, but feeling much better now. No cold body parts to report just one police officer that would not let me through the gate eventhough I had my ID and had to run to another gate.

Ran on the W & OD. For the most part it was dry just in a few places snow was still on the trail. Saw two really large hawks almost the size of an eagle.

Played frisbee golf until I got cold. ONly in the upper 20's with wind. Thought I would have the whole course to myself caught up with two other groups out playing. Played a little better versus the first time. Actually was able to use the wind to my advantage.

Concentrated a little more on my upper body this time.

It was so cold and windy I ran to the gym, used the treadmill and ran back. Planning out what race to run maybe an ultra in late April.

All the more time for lifting. This time gained some strength in my legs. Had to skip a couple of lifts since the gym was so crowded. Checked out the pool which has "warmed" to 65 degrees.
