Run 1:00:00 [2]
shoes: February 2008 Asics
Level 8 hills, 7mph.
Bike 1:00:00 [3]
This should be level 2, but it was a lot of work today. I was either strangely tired or more likely (based on normal effort from running) they did some sort of maintenance on the bike (eliminating the clunking) which had an impact on the resistance?
Note
Hips and hip flexors very tight today. I was initially at a loss for why, but then recalled the knee raises I did recently. That would do it.
Also, the right glute does not hurt today. Strange.

Wamup. Too short.
Orienteering race 55:31 [4] **** 6.5 km (8:32 / km) +300m 6:56 / km
shoes: Spring 2009 Integrators
Note
(injured)
So, in today's race I tripped on a fence and hit the ground hard and later, while hurdling a log on a trail, got rammed my a branch in my left shoulder and hit the ground again. My shoulder is sore, but seemingly only bruised.
However, my right glute, the one sore on Thursday is very sore. However, it doesn't have the burning sensation and doesn't seem to hurt under contraction or resistance. It just hurts to touch and to sit on it. Strange.

NEOC Gay City
Run warm up/down 10:00 [1]

Warmup before NEOC. It was warm, but I felt good.
Orienteering race 59:50 **** 7.04 km (8:30 / km) +250m 7:13 / km
shoes: Spring 2009 Integrators
NEOC Gay State Park Red.
A really poor race. One unforced error on number 2--an orthogonal route--and then hosed two subsequent controls. In both cases I maintain they were not correctly placed, but they were no doubt close. Definitely in the circle. PG had no problem with either; I lost multiple minutes on both. What does that mean?
I ran OK the rest of the course. The map isn't great, but is OK; the terrain in nice. The ferns are nothing compared to FC.

Cross Training 45:00 [2]
Level 8 hills. Just felt like I needed something more today. Mentally, an hour of training has started to seem like not enough.

Note
Yesterday morning and day I felt like I was developing faint twinges of Clemitis. I had soreness/stiffness in the suspect area and was a bit concerned. CSU had decided to do intervals yesterday, and I really wanted to. I didn't want to run fast. So, I decided on the 4 x 1600 program. During the first lap it felt a little off, but then it was largely smooth sailing. During the last 2 intervals I felt like I was tightening up, but just general tightness which often happens. And afterwards I felt great. Feel OK today, too, but may bag the tempo run. Hopefully I can do some faster stuff next week.
Run 1:00:00 [2]
shoes: 9 2007 Saucony
Level 8 hills, 7 mph. Just getting in a run.
Bike 1:00:00 [2]
Wow--an epic night of movies on AMC. I watched Roadhouse, US Marshalls, and Carlito's Way tonight. None great movies. None even that good. But Roadhouse does make the running go fast and Carlito's Way does feature one of PG's favorite actors.

Run 3:00:00
shoes: Salomon SpeedCross 2 2009
Back to the Blue Hills. Explored the western portion this time, including the ski hill.
Concluded that the Saeger Family Ski Slope is runnable, but barely. It is definitely not fun. I tried it once, at about 1:19 into the run. My split was 3:45, although considering the amorphous start and finish location, this is a largely meaningless number.
Breakfast: 4 slice of toast with honey/nutella. One Paulaner mug of OJ/water and one Iron Hill mug of cranberry/water. [edit: I think the Iron Hill mug is 24 ounces and the Paulaner mug is ~36 ounces. That is my standard post-workout serving size.]
No drinks during; 64 ounces of Gatorade Rain after.

Note
I've now logged more running miles in 2009 than in 2008. Although this is a silly comparison since I stopped logging for a while in 2008.

Run 1:28:40 [2] 11.33 mi (7:50 / mi)
shoes: 9 2007 Saucony
Nice run. Felt super easy and super light. Time includes time at lights (I seemed to get caught today.) Maybe when not pushing, you are less inclined to dart across at the last instant.
