With the March 31st runs, March 2018 is now the month of my highest ever time logged exercising as well as the most monthly miles I've ever logged (261.75, beating out JAN 18 by 0.5 miles). It's also been the month of some significant orienteering success, as I rose from 49/53 to 31/59 on the OUSA rankings.
A great first quarter to the year!

Same trail (but a different section of it) as what I did Tuesday. What a difference a few days makes! There was no longer ANY snow or ice, and it was a balmy day with no fog. Made for some excellent trail running! At four miles in I had a prominent stream crossing next to a shelter where a group was hanging out, which made a convenient landmark. Then at 6mi, I reached a trail junction on a hillside which made the perfect turnaround point. Fast out and fast back in, with enough hilly struggle sessions to feel like I earned the improved pace (less time than Tuesday's trail despite 20% greater distance and roughly equivalent climb considering the inactive time on my GPS). Unfortunately my GPS lost signal for a while on the way back, so it only showed 11.5 as the net result but the GPS track straight line section makes it pretty clear where some of my return trip data is missing. Not a problem to confirm my total distance since 6mi was my exact turn around point.

While I am still classifying my local hamstring pain as an injury, it has decreased significantly--it appears to have a half life of 24 hours. So if that continues I hope to put it behind me this weekend, which is great considering I didn't cut back on running at all due to it. I love trails!

About 4/7th roads, 3/7th trails (first roads, then trail).

Maiden voyage of my New Balance 990v4 running shoes. About 85% of the run was on trails. Right upper leg still hurting--I hope it is just something with the muscles that will work itself out.

Pure trail running. As I am travelling this week, I'm at a place where snow, ice, and slick rocks are part of the experience. Unfortunately, that led at the 4.75mi turn around point to me falling down and having some right leg pain that throbbed prominently through my return trip and persists a day later. Only faint signs of a bruise--hopefully it clears up soon.

About 2/3 earth trails, 1/3 road
