Running (Street & Trail) 30:30 [3] 3.3 mi (9:15 / mi)
slept:7.6 weight:200.4lbs
Rock Creek Park, MD. From Cedar Ln., the Rock Creek Trail to just past Kensington Pkwy., then the trail on the left to Kingston Rd., to Saul Rd., to Kensington Pkwy., to the Rock Creek Trail, to Cedar Ln. It was 42 F while I was running and I was running near sunset on a clear day. It took a while to warm-up. There weren't many in the park. Posted signs indicate starting January 15 and going through March, the park and trails will be closed after sunset on weekdays. It's probably to cull deer.

Running (Street & Trail) 20:55 [3] 2.17 mi (9:38 / mi) +29m 9:15 / mi
slept:5.1 weight:200.8lbs
From Northfield Rd. I ran up to Custer Rd., to Wilson La., to Exeter Rd. to Glenbrook Rd. to the Bethesda Trolley Trail, to the NIH grounds, to Maple Ridge Rd. to Georgetown Pike, to Huntington Pkwy., to Custer Rd. to Northfield Rd. It 55 F with a light rain shower when I started. I was going to take the day off but I realized I wouldn't have much chance to run tomorrow. My left foot was a little numb again. Mostly, it was hard to get any smoothness to my stride. A half mile before finishing the rain started falling harder.

Running (Street & Trail) 33:17 [3] 3.4 mi (9:47 / mi) +55m 9:19 / mi
slept:5.7 weight:200.5lbs
From Northfield Rd., to Old Georgetown Rd., via Greenwich Park, to W. Cedar Ln., to the Bethesda Trolley Trail along Rockville Pike and up to Maple Ridge Rd., to Old Georgetown Rd., to Huntington Pkwy., to Custer Rd., to Northfield Rd. It was yet another damp and warm day--61 F, 94% humidity--good Georgia training weather. I started out feeling pretty good but I slowed on the hills.

Running (Street & Trail) 24:51 [3] 2.49 mi (9:59 / mi) +45m 9:27 / mi
slept:5.9 weight:199.2lbs
From Norrthfield Rd., to Grant St., to Sonoma Rd., to Lindale Dr., to Bradmoor Dr., to Ewing Dr., to Roosevelt St., to Jefferson St., to Northfield Rd. I could feel myself adjusting to getting up earlier for work again, resulting in a slower and more tired run. I did hit a hilly route for a short run. The first was steep, the second was average and the third, long and gradual. It was 68 F, humid and breezy. My shorts were good but my long sleeve t-shirt was too much.

Running (Trail) 37:00 [3] 3.23 mi (11:27 / mi) +77m 10:40 / mi
slept:7.5 weight:199.1lbs
Cabin John Regional Park, MD. From the playground parking lot off Tuckerman Rd., I went north and did a trail loop. On the way back, I ran in the central section of the park by following the trail parallel to the power lines, and the loop up besides the kiddie train. It was warm enough (low 60s F?) to run in shorts and a t-shirt. Trail conditions were pretty good but there were just a few muddy spots. I didn't feel that strong but I ran faster than I thought I would.

Orienteering (Course Setting) 1:15:53 [2] 2.6 mi (29:11 / mi) +88m 26:25 / mi
slept:7.25 weight:200.8lbs
Prince William Forest, VA - Course setting for the Royal Romp that's coming-up in March. Things were a little damp but not much. There was a 50K ultra-marathon going on. I saw several of the competitors throughout the day. The park was also very full of families too. All the parking in Pine Grove was full and I lucked into an angled spot on my right just as someone else left. A third person had wanted to take it from me even though he was coming from the wrong direction.
Orienteering (Course Setting) 49:49 [2] 1.5 mi (33:13 / mi) +58m 29:40 / mi
Prince William Forest, VA - Course setting for the Royal Romp that's coming-up in March. I was enjoying the weather. There's a good chance the actual competition could have similar weather--sunny and around 60 F.
Orienteering (Course Setting) 59:39 [2] 2.6 mi (22:57 / mi) +68m 21:13 / mi
Prince William Forest, VA - Course setting for the Royal Romp that's coming-up in March. I missed getting to a control! I guess that while getting there I was focusing more in the other direction on some potential changes to the map.
Orienteering (Course Setting) 48:55 [2] 2.22 mi (22:02 / mi) +123m 18:48 / mi
Prince William Forest, VA - Course setting for the Royal Romp that's coming-up in March. I was rushing around to get done before it got dark. It was good that the sun set is much later now--just before 5pm.
