Training Log Archive: Kseniya

Sad to miss Pawtuckaway training weekend but had to go to Harriman to vet my courses this weekend. Woods are turning colors already since it's been so dry; blueberry bushes turning brown on high ground, die bushes, die. Normally, I'm big a fan of blueberries but running through them is just a pain in the butt. But, I went through some really lovely parts of my course today, just need to pat myself on the back for this section. Now I'm worried I'm being too nice for the Highlanders.
Funny thing happened today: I grabbed two of my O-sneakers that are the same brand and by accident I grabbed two right foot ones, and only discovered this once I was ready to go out in the forest. Ooops. Thank goodness I didn't grab two of the left foot ones. Because these shoes are so awesome though, I was able to run in them as is without much problem, only my big toe was slightly bothered. Now the bigger issue emerges: which pair do I log my mileage on??

One of those mornings when I just had to get out for a run, the psychological benefits of which outweighed any detriment to my plantar fascia and it band. It was humid but cooler, and I ran at a pace maybe a bit below tempo.

But, our new HVO website has been launched softly (http://hvorienteering.com/wp/), and if anyone has any comments, please let us know. Eventually, we will decide on a logo.

Stayed at Peter and Gail's last night (Thank you!) and set off this morning for some Highlander course checking. I had great energy while out there, even heat did not really bother me. I'd say this loop is complete, just need to correct the map in a bunch of places. Saw some wild turkeys and a lot of city folk who come chill in the parking lot and not even set foot in the forest, so strange.
