Busy day getting ready for Christmas. Made my first ever continuous bias binding today; I feel like an honorary quilter! Squeezed in a bit of exercise before heading off to Gene and Dee's annual Christmas pot luck.

Couldn't pass up this lovely weather (58 degrees!!) so I went for a short jog on west campus and explored all the construction projects.

weights 30:00 [3]
Found out that I have to take a business trip to Scotland in January. Good news: I get to visit a new country and meet colleagues I only know through phone conversations. Bad news: I'll miss the Georgia meet, which I enjoy every year and was marked as one of my important races for 2014.

Tonight's exercise: Run as fast as you can for 1 minute, while maintaining good form. Try to get up to 6 repeats, with 3-4 minutes rest in between.
This was difficult to judge how hard to run. I tried the first repeat on grass, but I was thinking too much about the surface, so I switched to the parking lot for the rest.. I managed 4 repeats tonight, which was probably enough for the first time trying this exercise.

Practice at Clinton. I pulled an old course, and decided to take it backwards. I walked today because I think I jumped into O too hard, too fast this season. Wanted a long slow day to start building a base.
Concentration was mixed. I had a busy morning, desperately trying to finish sewing some Christmas gifts. Then I had to chose between watching the Giants game or getting out in the warm (40s) weather. Unfortunately, that was an easy decision, with the way the Giants are playing. And I had to rush back to get ready for FIL and SMIL's Christmas party. So it took me a while to turn my brain to orienteering. Did OK, except for one leg where my mind wandered to "how to plan a birthday party for a 5 year old girl".
I had fun taking the culvert between 16 and 9. I hadn't been through there in years. It was easy to get through, but hard to get out. A big tree has blocked the end, and I had to crawl over some branches to get out.
This map is old, so the trails and vegetation are changed. I like the challenge of being flexible in reading the map.
