Indoor soccer. We lost, but it was a good game and I got to run a lot. Except for the part where I tripped on my own feet and bashed my knee.

I went to REI after my soccer game, to buy a new pair of everyday winter gloves. (I wish they were sold as singles -- because that's usually all I need...)

I checked out the face masks for biking to work on cold days, but I couldn't bring myself to buy one.

I really want these gloves for snowy days -- I like the wierd lobster-claw look. ;-)

"Strength Training for Runners" has started up again. And thank goodness, because I need *something* to get me back into some kind of routine.

Jog six laps on indoor track to warm up.

Three sets of:

High knees / butt-kickers / galloping / prancing

60-second plank

Three sets of:

Crunch-things x 15

Jumping (front/back x 15, side-to-side x 15, up x 15)

Two sets of:

Squats x 12

One-leg squats x 12 per leg

Push-ups x 25 (the easy kind)

Jog 11 laps on indoor track to cool down. One of my classmates gave me electoral vote updates from the TV every 60 seconds as I passed the stationary bike area. ;-)

My left palm is really sore. I wonder if that's the result of clutching onto a map for three hours yesterday?

Event: RMOC Devil's Thumb Mini-Rogaine Training Event
 

Three-hour Mini-ROGAINE at Devil's Thumb. We had *perfect* weather (mid 70s). I did pretty well "for me" -- cleaned the first map and had 25 minutes left to go out for two controls on the second map (#61 and #20, which I added to the first map in this scan). Total points: 760 out of 1,300 possible.

My ForeRunner dropped the signal a lot, so my tracks are not continuous (is it time to upgrade to the 305???). My impression was that I only messed up at #50 (wandered backing and forth looking for the right boulder), and #20 (parallel error). Otherwise I felt pretty accurate.

Gordon and Nancy (course setters) hosted dinner at their house nearby after the event. For once, a potluck where the food was really great instead of the dreck that turns up at most potlucks! ;-) I got to take home some of Nancy's chocolate cake that was left over.
