Training Log Archive: Spike

PTOC red course at Blue and Gray. I felt about as expected - not too terrible but far from normal. Bob Lane set the course and was pretty nice to us. He put the controls on big features that you could usually get to without much crappy forest. He also gave us plenty of options to avoid the forest and, mostly, to avoid the trails. With some warm weather last weekend the horse trails (nearly every trail in the park) got lots of traffic. Then the last few days of cold weather made the hoof prints like rocks.

My Quickroute track:

I planned to run and loaded gear in my car this a.m. But, I'd expected a temp around 40...not 20 with a howling north wind and a bit of snow. I'm not prepared.

C • Did you forget a hat again? 2

Another easy jog on the river trail. It felt better. I forgot to bring a hat. A hat would have been nice as a cold wind kept the temp a bit low.

Jogging on the river trails in Lawrence. I could have used a hat. Yesterday was 70s and warm, today was upper 20s and a cold wind.

I felt odd - worn out from being sick, I guess.

This was the first workout of the year that didn't involve any orienteering. That'd be pretty impressive if I'd been doing much training the last couple of months.

Some easy jogging.

A bit of a course at Wyandotte.

I'm still not quite right, but I felt like a little run would be ok. I guess it was. I certainly feel weak, but the run doesn't seem to have made me feel any worse.

Really warm - low 70s.
