Some on road. Late afternoon -- getting dark in woods and tricky following trail.

Monday Oct 29, 2001 #

Off Trail Running (Ma & Pa/Gunpowder Falls) 45:00 [2] 4.0 mi (11:15 / mi)

Sunday Oct 28, 2001 #

Trail Running (To / from map) 51:00 [3] 5.6 mi (9:06 / mi)

O-course Training (Patapsco Avalon, MD) 1:01:00 [3] 4.8 km (12:42 / km)

Leaves have dropped here now, too, and running is much better.
Tumbled over a log covered by leaves, however, and am lucky nothing popped.
Checking out features (wells, etc) for this Feb's local meet. Found a couple neat ones.

Note

Missed workout yesterday due to job interview in PA. This job stuff is no good -- already interfering with training.

Road Running (Warm up/ cool down) 20:00 [2] 2.2 mi (9:05 / mi)

Running to Cromwell Valley Park and back.

O-course Training (Cromwell Valley Park, MD) 55:00 [3] 4.5 km (12:13 / km)

10 controls. Mostly open now, some steep sections.

Wednesday Oct 24, 2001 #

O-course Training (Grt Falls / Bear Island) 1:13:00 [3] 8.0 km (9:08 / km)

Ran 18 controls today. The leaves are dropping and Great Falls is opened up for excellent running. Bear Island is fast running, but slow travel due to intricate rocks and knolls. Best navigation was working off of dry water holes and marshes.

Tuesday Oct 23, 2001 #

O-course Training (Soldier's Delight, MD) 1:12:00 [3] 5.0 mi (14:24 / mi)

Ran 12 controls on Soldier's Delight map. Area has been cut over to reestablish grasslands. Also has succeeded in growing more thorns and briars. Not a good area to run in shorts. Had to pick through a couple of thick sections not on map.

Note

Planning to run on a different o-map every day for the next two weeks. Didn't realize how many maps we've got within a 45 minute drive.

Monday Oct 22, 2001 #

O-course Training (McKeldin / Patapsco Pk) 1:12:00 [3] 6.5 km (11:05 / km)

Ran 19 control legs practicing map reading.
Taped around foot; doing better. Thanks Kenny and Peter.

Sunday Oct 21, 2001 #

O - competition (Pine Wood Red Y) 1:03:00 [4] 5.4 km (11:40 / km)

No warm up today; foot sore. Taped it securely and it felt mostly ok.
Too hastey on the first control; had to do some serious searching -- maybe 6 minutes lost. Other minor bobbles later on, minute here and there.

RedY Day 2 - Splits

Saturday Oct 20, 2001 #

Trail Running (Warm up) 10:00 [2] 1.0 mi (10:00 / mi)

O - competition (Letchworth Red Y) 1:33:00 [4] 8.4 km (11:04 / km)

Pacing errors two early legs; one weak route choice. Probably lost 7 minutes total.

Used new inserts, but foot still got very sore.

smooth and good footing.

Tuesday Oct 16, 2001 #

Trail Running (Cromwell Pk / Loch Raven) 1:14:00 [2] 7.0 mi (10:34 / mi)

Longer run today, but still at easy pace.
Arch very tender.
Trying all the Spenco supplies.

Monday Oct 15, 2001 #

Road Running (WLIF road run) 37:00 [2] 4.0 mi (9:15 / mi)

Easy run to test R arch.
Foot still sore, but seems to work. Not ready to stress it.

Sunday Oct 14, 2001 #

Detour up Short Job to check out view of fall colors

Backpacking (Mt Marcy) 4:00:00 [2] 5.0 mi (48:00 / mi)

Climbed Mt Marcy from Slant Rock (2,000' ascent).

Wednesday Oct 10, 2001 #

Trail Running (Cromwell Valley park) 34:00 [2] 3.0 mi (11:20 / mi)

Very slow run on grass to see if my foot will bear weight.
Destroyed my R arch on the first Highlander road run Sunday
(had a previous minor injury) and then proceeded to pound it
to oblivion for the next 15 miles.
Today is the first day I can move around.
Foot actually works with two arch support insoles and an ace
bandage wrapped around it.

Road Running 20:00 [2] 2.3 mi (8:42 / mi)

Quicky just to stay loose.

Thursday Oct 4, 2001 #

Trail Running (Ma & Pa Trail) 49:00 [2] 5.0 mi (9:48 / mi)

Running the Ma & Pa Trail along the Little Gunpowder Falls.
( In Maryland you don't call them brooks or streams, you call them
"falls", "runs" and "branches", in decreasing size. Below the last rapids, in tidal waters, they are "rivers", "creeks" and "guts" -- you really wanted to know all this, right?)
As for the Ma & Pa, that's another story.
