Orienteering race 51:07 [4] ** 2.7 km (18:56 / km) +121m 15:28 / km
ahr:124 max:144 spiked:16/18c shoes: INOV-8 Trail Talon 225
Fun meet today at Antioch Park. Doing well until control 14. I was wearing my contact, so didn't bring my magnifier, but some time during the course, my contact moved. And I really needed it to read the map. So I ran up and down and back up the trail by the stream until I finally got it. Then, leaving 14, my route choice to 15 was not a good one. Otherwise, I felt pretty good about it. I ran some of the time and felt good running.

9Round 32:00 [5]
ahr:117 max:141 shoes: Skechers GoFit
Another tough day. We ended up at Round 9 with a special challenge--number of Burpees in three minutes. I got 30, but I had to stop about the two minute mark because my heart rate was soaring. I think I could have done 35. All the ragweed is causing chest congestion and breathing problems.

Dog Walking 27:54 [2] 1.55 km (18:00 / km) +9m 17:30 / km
ahr:98 max:127 shoes: INOV-8 Trail Talon 225
Hot already, but a good breeze. We didn't have a long walk at Riverfront Trail, because of the heat. Elray had a nice haircut, but she's still really fluffy.

Not quite as tough as yesterday. I don't know whether the workouts are getting harder, or if I'm just working harder. Lots of good moves.

Elray and I went to Watkins Mill, but only walked to the swimming beach and back, because it was already hot. Twenty-seven minutes in and twenty-three back. I got 5000 steps in.

9Round 32:00 [5]
ahr:122 max:139 shoes: Skechers GoFit
Another tough day. During Round 1, we held a medicine ball overhead while doing jacks and squats, then with Round 2, we held the Swasher overhead for the three minutes. We ended up at Round 9, holding plank position for 3 minutes. Whew!

ahr:120 max:141 shoes: Skechers GoFit
My car went in to get a new windshield today, so Bob dropped me off later, and I forgot to use my inhaler. It was tough, and I almost ran out of breath once, but did a good effort. It will be good to get my car back.

9Round 32:00 [5]
ahr:112 max:130 shoes: Skechers GoFit
My heart rate stayed up in the yellow throughout most of this workout. It seemed tough, but I thought I did a good job of keeping up a good pace. The CHOW was crunches with a medicine ball, touching the toes with the ball each time. I did 137, but it was making my neck hurt.
9 AM
Dog Walking 18:20 [2] 1.13 km (16:13 / km)
shoes: INOV-8 Trail Talon 225
Mack Porter Park. I missed the turnoff, and had to go in the main entrance. After walking around the north side, a pickup pulled in and three large dogs, all off-leash got out. Elray was much too interested, so we turned around and walked the other way. When we got back, I thought we could walk down the one-way road because they had gone that way, and I figured they would walk the circuit. Wrong! They were headed back up the road towards us, so I gave up, walked back to the car, and we left. Which is why our walk was cut short.

Note
Not an exercise day. I spent most of the the day with Nick and Dick L., in Shawnee Mission Park doing the Park Palooza. Lots of people, lot of little kids. Since next Saturday is Antioch Park, and many of them live nearby, a few may show up. The Turtles came by and visited with us, and it was really good to see EW was doing some better, but he has lots of eye problems, which is limiting his ability to go on a course.
