Walking 20:02 [2] 1.3 mi (15:25 / mi)
shoes: Saucony Shadow 6000 8.5 #2
A walk before (fixing) dinner just to enjoy the cooler air (~68 F). Nice!

Exerc. Class 1:00:00 [3]
shoes: Asic Gel GT2110 8.5D
Step aerobics at the Y; tough class today (I think she had the music speed up a little -- I was definitely producing a lot of sweat...). But I could follow along most of the time.
Strength 10:00 [0]
Fitlinxx equipment (8 machines; 4 arms, 4 legs), plus 10 lat pull-downs @ 50 lbs. I'll try more weight on the pull-downs next time.

Walking hills 52:50 [3] 3.3 mi (16:01 / mi)
shoes: Saucony Shadow 6000 8.5 #2
Rt. 66 to Pratt Rd. to the turnaround at Bachus.
Not up for running, I went for a walk (once I got my right hip warmed up...). Right knee bothered for awhile, until I got on the unpaved road; then it was fine. There are lot of dirt roads around here, but they start 1/2 mi or more away from home, so I either have to deal with the "crowned" paved ones until I get there, or drive to them....
Saving myself for the 5K this weekend (though I think it will be mostly roads). :-)

Exerc. Class 55:00 [2]
It felt good to get back to exercise class, though my knees didn't necessarily agree. Stepping first, and then some of the strength exercises, didn't agree with them. No major pain, just minor irritation (doesn't that make them stronger?).
Need to go grocery shopping (Rob let the fridge get empty), otherwise I might even go out for a run because it's so cool outside! (mid 70's and breezy)

Note
Well!
I would have posted something yesterday when we got home, but we didn't get home as expected. In fact, we didn't get home until about 23 hours after we were scheduled to depart, due to some fun at the Colorado Springs airport on Monday (I think Glen is still kicking himself for not taking Delta up on the offer to switch to an earlier flight that would have gotten us into Albany an hour later than scheduled, but he didn't know what was to come). Since we didn't get to Cincinnati in time to catch the next flight, we stayed overnight and returned home by 1:30 today.
I wimped out and didn't exercise today; wanted to catch up on e-mail (and AP) anyway. Tomorrow is another day...

Orienteering race (sprint) 38:47 [5] *** 3.5 km (11:05 / km)
spiked:13/15c shoes: Jala Jukola Spider 6 #2
Sprint relay (US Team fundraiser) at Manitou Lake (CO). Glen and I did a 2-person relay at the 3-leg event; he ran the first leg, I ran the 1st 4 controls of the 2nd leg then handed off the map and dibbler at a spectator control (knoll near the road) and waited for Glen to return for the next handoff, and then ran the whole 3rd course.
I managed to mess up my first control on the 2nd leg (C course); I aimed directly for the tree I was supposed to go to but then about 40 meters short of it, I second-guessed myself (mis-identifying the mapped trail) and ran around a bit until I decided I was right in the first place and headed back to the tree--time lost about 1:30 (on a sprint!). I also messed up control 10 on course B; I ran down the correct spur but drifted a little to the left of the line and when I got to the reentrant didn't look far enough up the hill. I ended up going almost to # 11 before realizing what I was doing and turned around. In the meantime Nancy K. and Mark Dominie passed me as I was trudging back up the hill to 10. Oh well. We still managed to beat the H-T team by about a half a minute.
John F. had set up a short string-O course with about 15-20 controls, which crossed over itself a few times, and challenged runners for a donation to the team. We watched a number of variations besides just fastest (43 seconds?) -- 3 legged; blind (J-J holding the string); 1 legged (hopping), etc. Lots of fun for the spectators too. :-)
