Went out with ElRay to hang flagging with control numbers on the last two points, then decided to add one more. Cold and windy, but felt good after I got out of the open area.

Busy day at the gym. I shared rounds with another woman, much younger, and we alternated on some of the stuff, which kept me on my toes since I needed to keep the timing. Good practice.

Burpee Friday. My HRM quit working in the middle of my workout, and I figured the battery died. About five minutes later, it came back on. Must be Christmas gremlins.

Putting out tapes with control numbers on the southern two-thirds. I had ElRay with me, and that took longer. Also, I found more fences. All but two tapes are out now.

Flagging at Hodge Park. The south entrance was locked tight, so I flagged all the northern control locations, and decided I didn't like one, so it will be changed. It was really muddy and slick on the trails. I wasn't wearing O shoes, and had to go really slow in a few places. Great weather for the end of December. I hope to finish flagging tomorrow before the weather caves.

Took ElRay to Jesse James Park, where we actually did quite a bit of slogging.

Workout with Jared. Did my agility drills with resistance today. Then, at the end when my arms were already worked out, we did the ropes, except I did them on one leg which was on a balance cushion.

9Round was very challenging today (or was I just tired). I stayed in the red through several stations, and was in the yellow most of the rest of the time.

My HRM reset itself again to a max of 181, so I'm sweating like crazy and can barely make it to 70% maximum heart rate. Good whittle your middle.

Multi-tasking by bringing ElRay with me on the Orange Course. I moved two controls, and put in a fence, a ditch and some more trails. They are making trails out there faster than I can map them. Quite a few are even flagged. It was an interesting exercise when I went around one side of a small tree and ElRay took the other side. She did a good job of jumping over fences and stumps, and crossing streams. It was really slow going because of lots of wet and slick trails. My shoes are really trashed. I had planned to go back later this afternoon, but the mist showers and mud changed my mind.
