Training Log Archive: Sandy

Had power when I got home at 9pm but it's off again now at 9:45. Bleah.

And it's back.

No power. Not too bad yet. I have a gas stove and while it won't light automatically I do have matches so I've been able to have tea and coffee. But it will get old fast. Don't teach tomorrow but plan to go in all day where it's warm and I have power.

Emily's surgery was postponed. Not really a big deal but emotionally a little draining.

Some of the core dvd exercises - need to ease into it.

Walking the trails in the Wissahickon. An exhilarating day to be outside - reasonably warm, windy, grey skies, fantastic fall colors.

Having trouble sleeping. I think it's lack of exercise so I will try to fix that.

Emily's 2nd surgery is set for Tuesday. Really hoping the storm doesn't mess with that.

Event: DVOA Washington Crossing State Park
 

Was dressed to go out but ended up at the computer all day. Although the line occasionally got pretty long, I think I handled the pressure reasonably well.

With Dasha on the Penncrest fields. Got to start somewhere.

Super pleased with how it all came together. Feeling very lucky to have so many good orienteering friends who kept offering encouragement and support all weekend long.

Event: 2012 North American Orienteering Championships
 

Woohoo - made it to yoga class. Not a particularly strenuous class, but it did stretch me out a bit.

I have some really fine friends. Sandy chauffeured me to yoga this morning and Karl correctly guessed the state of my refrigerator (empty) and sent some soup over.

I need to stop checking the weather forecast for NAOC. Every time I do, there's more rain predicted than the time before.

TNT - around the track with Dasha, Jim and Kolya. I am stressed. I couldn't stop talking. I'm sure everyone that has to deal with me will be very glad when NAOC is over.

I took home 3 of Ann's cookies from TNT last night. Had one at midnight, one for breakfast this morning and one to finish off my lunch today. Tasty!

TNT - jog/hike with Dasha and Ann.

TNT - nice hike with Sandy, Bridget and Margaret. Great soup by Karl afterwards.

My feet were really sore on the walk home. I realize I am completely out of shape due to hardly exercising at all the last month, but I didn't think the bottoms of my feet would be a problem!
