Played golf today....great fun with the wind.... felt dead today.... I think I have hit the wall and need to back off a little....didn't want to run today but thought a short run would help get the blood moving ....just need to push through until Wed. and then some down time....

Event: WCOC Ansonia Nature Center
 

Ran the green course at Ansonia N.C. .... legs felt good wanted to run faster today and trust my nav. a little more then I did in N.C. .... 1-4 all bingo's..... went off to the left on No. 5 about 50 yds... could see the bag off to the right... but it cost me a good min. and half.... I must have gone up through the wrong gap in the cliffs....6-8 no problem.... on the way to 9 went to far to the right and saw the trail on my right and tried to adjust to left but not enough.... pace count saved me as I knew I went far enough and the bag should be over a little knoll to my left.... but it cost me a min. ... the rest of the course was ok and I hit everthing dead on.... legs were a little tired by this time...(need more woods running) but kept my head and had a plan at each bag before I moved out....that seems to help keep me under control.....wish I could read the map as I run but every time I try I end up on my face..... I took the home bound leg by going though the wet area by the homes west of the baseball field.... It seems to have worked out ok... I just did not want to go over the hills .... All in all it was a good day.... fun event.....Thanks Marie and Mike .... Great job....
and Thanks George for doing the shirts they look good out in the woods...

Wanted to get a few more controls.... so I ran the orange course.... alot of trails to run on .... but I tried to stay off them to get more woods running....had flash back as I ran by the gun range pace did pick up a bit !!! fun extra workout.... leg were tired at the end... good days work..

Green - Splits

Ran with the Mlfd R.R.'s ....out along the water to Walnut B. and Mlfd Pt. and back ..... ended up going solo as most of the group turn back for the 6 mile loop..... the two lead runners were out of sight by the halfway Pt.... with out the group I thought my pace was slower this week....But it was faster.... I got another long run in..... will have a break in training over the next two weeks when I go to the Flying Pig and then up to U of Mich. to do so research..... Found another tick on the back of my leg when I woke up this morn. ...I ck'ed three times last nite.... and still I missed this little sucker....

Went up to five ponds and ran last springs Green course ... set by Jim and Rich..... legs and whole body were dead today..... felt like I had lead shoes.... good Nav. but No. 7 which I goofed up last spring also..... went tearing up the hill sure I would nail the dam thing this time.... and went by it again and over ran it...... but this time I know it right away.... but I was so mad I went back to #6 and redid it..... bingo !!! what was so hard about this control..... its like my golf game I just keep doing the same things wrong..... fell down a few time and slide down a steep hill on my butt.... which I did not plan on .... but landed on some soft ground.... as I got up and dusted my self off I thought of the story in the last issue of the O mag.
when I got done with the course I went back and got a few more controls but from a spot.... just as I going to leave I thought about No. 7 and got mad all over again.... and headed off from where the car was parked and got it again from that area .... again bingo... why not the first time.....

Early run today.... I hate running this time of the day.... but I got it out of the way....Did the Narrow Lane loop.... warm out with a little fog..
