On the way up to the Y, saw a pair of great blue herons flying together. Time to set up housekeeping in the great north again!

Weight needs to start going back down!

Before class, I was thinking we should use balls as tools today; and she said, "Let's use balls today." ;-). Big class, though, so a few folks had to substitute (ring works almost as well for some but not all of the exercises).

Level 2 again, equivalent of 2.01 miles, MHR noted was 136. Upped the time, though this gets pretty boring after about 15 minutes. Listened to the latest episode of Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me on the iPod, with guest Judy Collins.

On the rower again. It again switched off on me at just over 2 minutes (didn't note the distance "traveled" at that point, over 300m, I'm sure), but I started up again and went 1000m in 5:58, over a half minute faster than last time. Damper at 6.

Followed by adductors, 70 lb weights, 12x2; and lat pull-downs, which felt really hard since my right side didn't want to pull evenly with my left (sore right shoulder -- maybe from Pilates pushups? which are rather easier than regular ones, but still stress my shoulder). Forgot to do leg stretches after all these, so I hope that doesn't affect anything.

GNC results are now posted [splits and RouteGadget linked from GAOC page]. Seems that I managed to hold off Shelagh for two-day total, but I was 4th of 4 women on Green Y on Sunday.

Travel day -- back to snow! :-(

My routes: (Quick Route on photo -- may post better copies when I can get the scanner to work)

Day 2

I think my problem at 7 on day 2 was that where I crossed the stream looked like the "end" and so I angled from what was mapped as the east "end" of the stream. Of course I wandered far longer than I should have...
On 8, I think the green/slash extends farther than mapped (or I just wasn't reading it correctly). And I have no excuse for 10 -- compass, anyone?

Day 2 green Y at GNC. While climb was noted at 50% more than advertised yesterday, I don't think I climbed as much, taking the 'around the deep reentrants' more often.

Good through 6 then bobbled attackpoint near 7 and wandered a bit before relocating. On 8 I took route through woods south of frisbee golf course and thought I rounded the 'green' properly but apparently followed the next gully, for a minute lost. Biggest error was 9--I crossed wide reentrant south of 8 thinking I was crossing the one east, and ran down the wrong spur! Relocated from the 4 stone pillars. Okay from there on in.

Meg P had an awesome run, under an hour today, a couple minutes behind her dad.

Monday Edit: FR said 8.8 km (AP widget says 9.08, 190m climb). No results posted yet. Weather on Sunday was SO much nicer than on Saturday, with temps around 60 and overcast. I did not feel all wiped out after running as I did Saturday (when I went in search of salt --in the form of Goldfish-- on the ride back to the motel and then went to bed early).

Green Y day 2 - Splits

Event: Georgia Navigator Cup 2011
 

Green Y course (F50), day 1 at Georgia Navigator Cup where there was a nice turnout for the SE interscholastics but not much else; 3 F50s registered, only 2 ran; one F45, and an F-20 were all the women on Green Y. The older men also ran Green Y with fastest time turned in by Tim Parson, around 48 min.

Monday update: added track -- FR registered 6.621 km, 172 m climb

(Hard to do a longer-than-five-lines entry on the iPod.) I felt like a slug on the uphills (and we get more tomorrow!), and didn't have quite the right attackpoint to 4, but recovered after going far enough and realizing I had to correct to the right. Mapping a bit flaky in a couple of areas but I didn't let it bother me. Road routes to 5 and 6. Saw Charlie Bleau (meet registrar) out there a few times at controls but thought he could've been on a different Green (he wasn't). Nice bright red shirt helped a bit at 5.

Very warm (80, with a nearly-noon start). FR track later...

2nd of the 4 women (Meg Parson did about 61 min) on the course. Supposed to be cooler tomorrow (I can only hope), and earlier starts by about 2 hours.

Green Y day 1 - Splits

Weight on rebound. Last night's lasagna didn't help. Ah, well.

Pilates, using rings to really work the hips.

Level 2 program this time; resistance varied between '5' and '15'. Sped up when at 5, a bit slower on 15; went 'farther' than last time, 1.78 mi. MHR noted was 140.

And again on the erg machine. I watched the 'how to do it' video on the concept II website last night and learned I wasn't finishing the stroke by leaning back at the extension. Went farther in the same time as Tuesday, and with a lower stroke rate (25-26/min). Damper set at 6.

1000m in 6:33

Chatham class. My exercise buddy (lady I usually stand near, and chat with), turns 80 tomorrow. :-)

After a cool, damp morning, the sun started to come out and warm the ground. This photo also shows the little bit of snow that remains in the field behind us.

C • March 3

Temp around 50 and partly sunny -- how could I resist?

Hamstring achy after first mile, but tolerable. Stopped about halfway to stretch and had a hard time restarting.
