Misc 1:00:00 [3]
slept:6.0 weight:185lbs shoes: Saucony - Big Blue 2

Ahhh, the return to BC... No problem getting up at 5:20 since I was actually awake for at least an hour before that.

Warm up jog of .2 mile, followed by stretching, and 25 pushups. Then we ran .8 mile (down to Walter Reed and back) at a quick pace. I was at the end of the group since I stopped at my car for my light.

Back at the mats, we did super woman, leg lifts, and situps (sets 20, 25, 30). Ran again ~ 1 minute. Then more bands, then run, then bands.

Next set after that was pushups, Mountain Climbers, squats (sets 20, 25, 30). I was surprised that I could still knock the pushups out. The MC were a problem because I have a blister on my heel from yesterday, and MC move the shoe up and down.

Finally, 60 legs lifts while the class did 120 crunches. Then, Chris being a meanie, we did leg lifts! I barely got 30 more out. I finally crashed on the v-sit extensions.

About 2 minutes cool down stretching, and then it was time to go.

Orienteering race (McKeldin Green) 1:24:24 [4] *** 5.25 km (16:05 / km) +240m 13:05 / km
shoes: Ice Bugs - Red Storm

My route.

Poor route choice from 1-2. stayed high for a bit and then decided that low was better, but had wasted time staying high, so was kicking myself.

I had no problem with 5 becasue someone was coming out of it, but it seemed off at the time. GPS tracks says that it was mishung. (Edit: GPS says the feature was mismapped...)

I climbed sooner than others from 6-7, but the smart ones climbed right away. It was tough going along the river. I briefly considered going across the river because the other side was flat and open, but it was too cold to chance getting wet. If previous history held up, I would have fallen in and been wet from head to toe.

Fell apart from 8-9 weaving here and there and wasting lots of time.

It was a nice day in the woods, though I found the course pretty exhausting. Too much sitting on my butt the last two weeks. Happy that I didn't take a huge fall or anything. The leaves were dry and footing was difficult on the downhills.

Thanks Ted!

shoes: Saucony - Big Blue 1

Half before, the other half after.

Running (Treadmill) 24:00 [2] 2.0 mi (12:00 / mi)
weight:183lbs shoes: Saucony - Big Blue 1

Damn, and here I thought I was going to get a zero for the week. But when hubby is bugging me about running, then I really know it is time to do something.

It was a beautiful 41 F by the time I got around to getting this in. Should have gone outside, but that was more effort than my feeble attempt could have handled - having to think about what to wear and all.

Ran all at 5 mph and listened to Lionel Ritchie. Breathing felt good - really the first time in two weeks that my chest hasn't hurt while taking a deep breath. Nasal meds have kicked in so I am no longer draining like crazy.
