Orienteering 1:06:00 [3] ***
slept:8.0 weight:180.5lbs shoes: Inov8 Rocklite 315
Had to go up to Brunswick to get ED gear from Jerry and Heidi, which put me close to Mill Stream. Since I never have a chance to train there, I brought a map, broke out my new Suunto Arrow compass, and worked on running bearings. It's a pretty ood place for this, with some 200-400m areas with few features. About 8 bearing legs, in pretty featureless areas. The first one was way off right, but I gradually got a little better, though still tending right. I can't identify specific problems and strategies, but maybe just time on task will help. For some reason I fell a lot (~6 times) - mostly snagging a foot on deadfall and grapevines.

RunCommute 55:00 [3]
slept:6.0 shoes: Brooks Adrenaline GTS 8-1
Began trying to be attentive on uphills - not 'just running' on them, but paying attention to effort and trying to get in the ha bit of running a little harder uphill. Hope I can keep it up, and hope it helps me improve on that weakness.

Today didn't work as planned. My 13 year old greyhound has a swollen jaw, and after an emergency room visit and some xrays, combined with past evidence, it looks like she has terminal bone cancer (which we suspected but didn't confirm as the cause of her leg amputation 9 months ago). We'll get confirmation tomorrow, but since the xray shows that her jaw is literally broken and eroded on one side, and she's not done anything violent to the jaw, no matter what we're probably facing euthanasia since she can't really eat or heal. Sadness throughout the family.
All this on the first real spring day - 70F, first real visits to crocus by apis, time outside... I am reasonably sore in quads and butt, but not too bad. Still, a quick step or two said 'no running' today. Decided to stretch the legs on the road bike, and was amazed to see that i had no soreness for biking (except a little on climbs). So, toured the neighborhood in the 60" gear, and felt really nice (probably could have gone on a 20 miler at an easy pace, though I discovered that my back wasn't used to these handlbars after half an hour).
