running race 1:15:55 [5]
Caatlewood Cup 15k trail race, lots of vertical challenge. 4 minutes better than last year. The best moments were when I thought this is not a race, just enjoy this beautiful trail run, and the other time, when I felt like nothing in abeyance of something.
Here are my times from the last 4 years...I'm not saying I'm going to keep improving, but right now the result is very encouraging after a series of bad to abyssmal events:
56 1:23:42
57 1:21:18
58 1:19:48
59 1:15:55

Event: SLOC - Cliff Cave Park
Note
Before todays meet i asked myself 'whom am i doing any good by going to this meet?" After encountering my broken orienteering thought process again, the answer is 'not even myself'.'
I'm going to take a break from AP for a while, from numbers, obsession, self-interest. This is a good transition into a meditative Lent. I'll do things on an as-needed, positive-tuned basis.
God bless you, so much.

running 57:30
4k race. Slow as molasses and lost maybe a few seconds on last year, but inspired by the masters and pro runners, I don't see why I can't get faster.
Note
totally wiped out from standing out in the cold 6 hours watching other people run fast:)

running intervals 1:45:00
big river cross country workout in FP. Mile, 1200, 800, 400 w/ 3 minute rest. I knew better than try to go fast for the mile (takes a while to blast all the rust out of my system in the am). Mudrocs were much better than i remembered them, now if it had been truly muddy that would have been fun.
7:15, 5:05, 3:15, 1:40
Lots of warmup/cool down since the bus was re-routed for Frostbite, and, uh they forgot to tell me! So when i figured it out, I ran to the metro station and then home from near Shrewsbury. Though I cadged a free ride from a bus driver to Watson w/ my sob story (2blocks???!!), once I got going i felt ok, even tho it was a lot of stop/start running.

biking 1:10:00
to cliff cave via busses. includes extra out and back on gravel track cuz i missed the first bus. then got off on grants trail to go home. studied spanish on the bus.
running tempo 1:40:30
20 minutes warmup and cool down in the woods at CC. + some extra
Tempo: 3 x 11:30, 10, 12 min. w/ two minutes rest. Trails have changed dramatically, so just improvised rather than trying to do the old loop (tho a lot of that is still there). Was able to run on the map at tempo. Then jogged the new trails following location on map, very twisty and loopy, easy to get turned around!
WHAT WORKS: Heavy workout every other day much better than trying to run every day, no matter how easy. Felt good to be on a map in the woods, need to do that more, kind of got away from these.
