Ratlaf's training course at Fox Run. Super fun, despite the chilly weather. I walked the whole time...

We were one player short of a full team, but the other team was nice enough to give us one of their players (and not even their worst player, by far!). I think they were confident they would beat us regardless...

It was really fun -- we were ahead by a goal or two at times, then down by five, and we ended up losing 10-8.

I was thrilled to score TWO solid one-touch goals. Woo-hoo! I don't think I've ever scored two goals before in a "real" game.

I plan to sign up for Erin's Bolder Bolder training group (twice-weekly sessions). Not because I plan to do the Bolder Boulder (I don't like road races), but because it'll give me some structure and general running improvements (hopefully). She said she would tailor my training plan for orienteering if I could give her some guidance on what that might mean.

* Any suggestions for what I should focus on, as compared to a typical road-race training regimen?

* Note to self: Erin said this type of intensive plio is not necessary during the spring/summer/fall if I augment with things like hill repeats and sprints. In that case, just do one plio session per week.

Ten laps to cool down: 61, 62, 59, 57, 58, 61, 60, 60, 60, 59

OK, we finally had a few subs show up for the Monday night league. But we still suffered a butt-kicking: 12-2.

I had hoped to continue the streak of daily activity I started on 2/21. Our plan was to jog up and around Castle Rock today, with the dog.

But, the snow in Elizabeth is blowing sideways at 26 mph right now (gusts up to 36 mph). It may not be Laramie-caliber wind, but the dog won't even go outside to "do her business"...and I certainly don't want to venture out in that nastiness, either.
