QOC Hemlock Overlook Green. Fairly easy control placements, but interesting route choices. Overall, I was happy with this run. I had spent a lot of time in this park last fall, and there wasn't much that could surprise me. The only time I lost was from 1 to 2, I headed back to the parking lot and down the trail along the creek (washed out and hard to find), then turned right and ascended the ridge, also on a trail, then down the NW slope, which was very steep, and the control was at the bottom of the feature, which involved downclimbing the rock. I thought my route was good up until the very last bit, so steep and rugged. Probably better to stay low and go around the ridge. I think good choices everywhere else.

Green - Splits

Surgery today to remove some lesions from my scalp (let's not use any word beginning with "c"). Not supposed to get *any* exercise for the next few days. But I've been walking a few miles a day, and I still did it today, it's too nice out and I'm too bored otherwise. I'm making an interpretation that "the next few days" doesn't include Sunday.

I could definitely feel yesterday's core strength exercises just under the ribcage. So something did come out of it.

Some core strength plyometric-type exercises. Haven't done this in a long time. It hasn't improved with time.

A walk in mid-afternoon, too nice out not to take advantage of it somehow. Butterflies: I saw a Great Spangled Fritillary and a Buckeye. Both are late-season species, but still, this is pretty late.
