Training Log Archive: Spike

PTOC meet at Wallace State Park. It was a bit cool and wet, but running was nice. I ran ok. I felt like I never had a good feeling, but never had a bad feeling either. The forest is a bit thorny in places, but it is bunchy - so you can weave around and avoid the worst thorns. Here's the course:

Angie B did a bunch of the mapping, set the course and made the chili that was waiting at the finish line.

Warming up.

No training, not even a work commute. But, we had a nice pot luck with some OKers. The highlight may have been Clemintine exploring the house, finding a copy of the Shawnee Mission Park O' map and then announcing "oh, a treasure map!"

Work commute plus a little extra.

Work commute. Another warm day.

Row, row.

Work commute.

I had a long work day with the final SWTF meeting.

The LJWorld ran a strange opinion bit on the solid waste issues:

I ran the window course on West Campus that Mary ran yesterday. I went without a headlamp and made it less than half way before it was too dark to read the map. That just added to the challenge. I had to run over to a street light to read the map at each leg. Fun. I skipped one control that I knew would require me to get in some rough vegetation. I wouldn't normally skip a control to avoid a few scratches, but I was wearing shorts because it was so warm out. I think the afternoon high was 67. Bizarre weather for January.

Jogging to/from the start and finish.

I ran Mary's Clinton SP long course. Lots of fun. I was tired on the hills.
