Jogging on the trails at Rockcrusher. Some of the trails were very icy. Even with spikes the ice was slick.
Ran in my new O' shoes, getting them ready for the spring season.

O' practice at Rockcrusher. I don't run at Rockcrusher very often. But when I do I always enjoy it. The map is showing its age (fieldchecked in 1988, I think).
My orienteering was working well today. I had a few lapses in concentration. I also had some very good orienteering. Fun.
Went to the Free State for lunch with Dad and Pam, then made it home in time to watch KU-Mizzou. Nice game.
At PNS on the way home from work. Still some ice on the trails, but warm weather (40s at the start). I ran without a headlamp, which was fine until the last 15 minutes. I was too lazy to put the lamp on and instead headed over to the Park U. campus and ran around there.
On the way home my sore knee started feeling a little uncomfortable. Bummer.
Lots of fun. Nick did a nice job setting the course. It felt more like control picking than anything (24 controls over an hour). I was happy with how moving through the forest felt. One control was hung in the wrong reentrant. I didn't find it and just went on because I was sure I was in the right spot and didn't feel like wandering around.

I jogged back out to find the control I couldn't find. This time I attacked from a different way and looked in a different reentrant (not the right one) first...and I found it. It was a reentrant off.
I started feeling tired. I probably should have had some sport drink before I went out, but I started to feel cold and figured I'd better get moving.
Lots of small aches and pains by the time I was done - left knee, left ankle, right foot.
