Orienteering 1:11:30 [1] 4.5 km (15:53 / km)
shoes: VJ Supra
Exploring Lynn Woods with Ross and scouting some possible arena locations with Ed. I drew a control picking course to explore the terrain and check out a lot of features and vegetation. Ross and I ran it together, picking often picking different routes and discussing the usability of terrain for good courses. It was green.
The whole day felt Clem-esque, as I began in New Haven, drove to Boston for orienteering and lunch, then drove to NYC for the evening.

Morning tour of Westwoods Trails with Becks (at first) and feet. Beautiful morning and a great place to run. I really liked all the crazy rocks and the passages through them. Too bad I felt really weak. It was a strange feeling - my heart rate got high on the short uphills and took forever to get back down.
Too much too soon?

Kat's surprise gift for me hurt me.

According to my new training plan, today had to be long intervals or a threshold run. Since I hadn't done much speedwork in a while, I thought I'd start with a low-volume session. I did 3x1200m on the indoor track at Payne Whitney gym with 2:30 rest. My dream was to run them at 4:04-4:08 pace, my goal was 4:10-4:12, the reality was

Wow. Saying that WOC-team-qualifying form is a long way away is a massive understatement, but I guess you have to start somewhere. Very disappointed.
Nice to chat with Becky at the gym afterwards and to hoist my wife up to the pull-up bar a couple of times.

Sore and achy this morning, but feel like I have finally started training again. Time to set some goals for 2011. The goal for the first half of the year is clear: stay relatively injury-free and qualify for the 2011 US WOC Team. Given my present shape (awful) and the current level of competition (much improved over previous years), this will be really tough, but doable if I manage to train consistently through the winter and spring.
Also, my flag counter shows hits from Mali and Mauritania. Really?

Nice evening run with Becky, Anne-Louise, Marie, and Mattias. Started at Lake Wintergreen, ran back to Mike and Marie's house where Becky and Anne-Louise left us. Then back to Lake Wintergreen and further north for a while. Cold, with most of the puddles frozen. Enjoyable run, speaking Swedish most of the time (quite poorly for my part.)
