Training at PEEC / Stuckey Pond map. Took a green course map from 2005 DVOA meet and did some of the controls, tried to do line O, etc. Thick woods, warm day, and plenty of mosquitoes made for distracting conditions, so I didn't keep in perfect contact with the map (what a surprise). Forerunner says 5.2 km. I was sure of my location at 2 of the 4 green course controls; not sure of # 1, and skipped # 2. Worked my way in from 4 to keep the time reasonable.

Weekend's plan was to orienteer here, on to Stroudsburg for overnight, and run at DVOA Hickory Run meet on Sunday. Sun. morning we visited the Stroudsmoor Inn just south of Stroudsburg which is where Greg and his fiancee will be married in less than a month! They picked a very nice place and gorgeous location -- now we'll just hope for excellent weather.

Took a day trip with a quilting friend to the Adirondack Museum (Blue Mountain Lake, NY) to see the museum as well as a display of about 30 quilts (from 150 years ago to recent) from the area. Fun day. (As far as training goes, I guess several hours on my feet is better than all day sitting, right?)

At the Y with a different substitute than Tuesday's session. This lady was more direct (and talkative) than Kendra, and easier to follow (she "cued" well).

Class in Chatham. I could feel some muscles I worked yesterday in Pilates, but nothing that held me back. Pilates again tomorrow? I wonder if it will be Kendra again?

At the Y. Different instructor today (Mary should be back next week), who appears to be all muscle and no fat (and petite too).

Incline 1%, speed 3.6-3.8 mph.

On treadmill, inclines between 5.5 and 8.5%.

Break is over; class in Chatham started again. Pilates last week kept me in pretty good shape, though. I only had trouble with one or two shoulder exercises (since my right shoulder gives me grief anyway). Good to keep using it, though.

Ran at Albany Pine Bush from Madison Ave. Extension. Weather was just about perfect, mid 70s with lower humidity and some clouds. A sandy trail with few roots and no rocks made for comfortable running, too.

More places had been bulldozed (i.e. habitat revitalization -- removing invasives that aren't pitch pine or scrub oak, I guess) than the last time I was there (probably last winter), including some of the trails, so I got a little more sun than expected, but it felt good. Didn't try to take it too easy either.
