Group run at Volunteer Park in Seattle, with Eric S, Eric B, Terry, John, Dave. Followed by yummy Indian dinner at Ellie, Rob & Rosemary's house. Followed by me crashing on the couch and then a red-eye to Boston.
About Thanksgiving training, perhaps the less said the better.
A scrumptious dinner with friends; homemade music; some familiar old favorites like Dead songs and pumpkin pie, and some new experiences. Like the stuffing, laced with locally grown spices.
Work commute plus Hvd Sq round trip.
After work, Dave and I rode our bikes to the Aquarium, and took a water taxi to Logan, to fly to Seattle. It's the first time we got to the airport that way. Pretty nice when there's a lot of traffic, because it doesn't affect us at all.
Right knee hurts a bit. In the middle, under the kneecap.
David finished the Blue Hills Traverse T shirt drawing at the very last minute, in the airport waiting for the plane taking him & Isabel to their dad's for Tgiving. I think the design is quite nice.
Had a great moment this evening where I was really wanted. David was upset and needed comforting, and Isabel was struggling with her homework and wanted help, and Dave was holding the phone out to me because my ex wanted to talk to me.
This barely counts as orienteering. After doing a couple controls from an old Traverse course, Dave and I just ran trails.

Note
So my computation for the O marathon goes like this: 75% of 46km (28.6mi) actual distance on trails at 12 min/mile + 25% of 42.2 km crow-flies distance orienteering at 15 min/km = 257 + 158 = 415 min = 7 hours. I'll have 9 hours, so the remaining 2 hours allow me to orienteer slower and do some walking. Still would rather start at 5...
