hiking 33:01 [3] 1.49 mi (22:08 / mi) +104m 18:12 / mi
weight:126lbs
Quick early morning jaunt. Wore the wrong shoes - needed studded icebugs this morning for sure as there was a sheen of ice all over the roads and trails. But wore my high top snow sneakers since I had rolled my ankle on Sunday and wasn't sure how sore it might get. Ankle was fine but almost fell on the ice several times.
4 PM
trail 1:03:21 [3] 3.94 mi (16:05 / mi) +377m 12:24 / mi
TNT - solo version. The people coming kept dwindling until it was just me and Ann and we decided to each run on our own in the daylight. Decided on hill repeats and cranked 6 out with the last two going a bit further up the hill. Took my headlight and a jacket but stashed them at the top of the repeat hill. Much nicer to do these in the light! Got home just as it was getting too dark to see easily (got out the door at about 4:45).
I wonder why the climb is showing less than the last time I did the exact same work out.

strength & stretching 1:15:00 [3]
weight:128.2lbs
Yoga. A somewhat low-energy class. Unusual for Bridget.
Have to be more disciplined about getting out for my hikes - I kept thinking I had time and then suddenly some things happened and I didn't. :(
And I think the weight is like DOMS, a delayed onset weight gain from Saturday's bad eating since Sunday was a good day eating wise. We'll see what tomorrow brings.

cardio 20:00 [3]
Woohoo - got in a quality 20 minute stair stepper workout. Good sweat and could feel it in my legs. Have to remember to do this - pretty painless in front of the tv.

Note
weight:127.4lbs
Yesterday was a stressful day and I overate and ate crappy food. Happy the weight damage wasn't more.
Note
The club gave me a very nice plaque as a thank you for NAOC at the meeting last night. I hope people didn't think I was ungracious - but I was a bit overwhelmed and just couldn't say anything. I should have taken the opportunity thank everyone who helped out and expressed how much I appreciated everyone's support.
11 AM
orienteering 55:09 [3] 3.2 mi (17:14 / mi) +129m 15:19 / mi
Slept in this morning and showed up at the SCEE with about 15 minutes to go. So cool to go to an event a mile or two from my house.
A fun course by Vadim - mostly trails with a memory-o section stuck in near the end. Was not completely clean but cut corners reasonably effectively I think. The splits will tell. Didn't hang around to see results.
Temps were in the mid to high 20's I think and I finally dressed right for cold. Wore two pairs of tights and my legs were just right - warm without being constricted. Buff came off my head (and used as a nose wiper) about halfway through but gloves stayed on. I had a yoga top (to keep my belly warm), two long sleeve shirts and an oversize thermal shirt that comes down over my but to keep that warm. Unzipped the neck zippers but never felt overdressed. I ran some, walked a lot.

Part of a Rodney Yee yoga dvd, some specific stretches for my knees and hips, some pushups and some ab stuff.

HR rogaine work. Met with the rangers to get approval - we did - and then did a short loop. It was 9F when I started but I was overdressed and had to keep stopping and adjusting layers. It was 19F when I finished. I went early to beat the snow and it's just starting to come down now that I'm safely home. Glad I decided to go earlier than usual despite the cold.

Cold as it was, I actually overdressed a bit! Also took my headlamp as it was dark when I started but then never had to turn it on.

Will try to do something this evening but more than likely today will be a total rest day, the result of an early morning meeting and an evening meeting. Couldn't make myself get out of bed early enough to hike. Phooey.

running 58:39 [3] 3.63 mi (16:09 / mi) +275m 13:05 / mi
TNT - So tempted to stay inside and do a dvd but Sandy was strong and so out we went. She, Bob and I did hill repeats while Karl did his scheduled training. I did a bit better last time we did them but I think a lot of that was the cold. Only did 4 repeats tonight - again, just wanted to get done and get back inside. I also forgot to turn my watch off when we came inside but I'll do 5 minutes of stretching this evening so I'll call that a wash.
Karl made peanut soup and we celebrated his birthday.

Yay - made it back to class for the first time in ages. An easy class by Bridget's standards, but my leg muscles were tired by the end. Hopefully I can get to class most Mondays.
2 PM
hiking 1:30:21 [3] 4.33 mi (20:52 / mi) +270m 17:29 / mi
Hike in the Wiss in the cold. Took a while to warm up. Debated going up into the Adorra Woods section but decided to save it for another day.

Still have a runny nose but feeling a bit better. Still, figured I'd take it easy and just do a short loop this morning.
1 PM
trail 35:27 [3] 2.89 mi (12:16 / mi) +110m 10:58 / mi
Well, that was interesting. It's 57 degrees outside so I decided I really had to go run my loop regardless of whether it was terribly smart. I figured I'd just walk a lot if I had to. So off I went - and it was so nice and warm and sunny - but I couldn't run up all the way on even some of the small hills and I took frequent walk breaks whenever it seemed like I was just pushing a tad too hard and so I figured the time would totally suck. I must have been going way fast when I was running is all I can think of. Yay for warm weather!!

Most of a pilates dvd I have that I haven't done in a while. Not feeling great, but after a whole day of laying on the couch watching movies on tv I wanted to do something.
8 AM
hiking 50:04 [3] 2.41 mi (20:46 / mi) +131m 17:46 / mi
weight:127.8lbs
Woke up to a decent head cold - no wonder I felt crappy yesterday. But I got a good night's sleep (and slept in quite late) and figured a hike couldn't make things worse and this way the day couldn't turn into a total waste. Went on the slow side though.

Probably should have stayed home. About half way through I realized I was starting to really fade. And mistakenly thought the Forerunner was charged so time is an estimate based on when I think I left and when I got home. Not feeling sick, but also not feeling real peppy either.
The good news is that it's light noticeably later than a few weeks ago.

Hike in the Wiss in the drizzle. Tried to jog on the drive a little but it was feeling pretty forced so didn't do much. Did hike up through the woods a bit on the way home instead of the trail.

TNT - ran with Ann and Sandy - although Ann was frequently off ahead of us - while Karl did his thing. Did 1.5 jog, .5 walk, 1 jog on the drive. Ran about half of Cathedral. Good work out. And good clam chowder by Karl afterwards

Event: QOC Fountainhead
walk/jog 1:38:12 [3] 7.0 mi (14:02 / mi)
Had thought about driving down to Fountainhead but it just didn't seem worth it.
Did 5.5 miles on the drive so probably about 7 miles altogether with the down to the drive and back up. Jogged half, walked half on the drive so jogged 3 miles.

Talked a few TNTers into trying the core dvd. The side planks are improving.
Then some rousing rounds of BH; with Ann on vocals we rocked. She had the moves down.

Morning hike before the rain sets in for the day. Dark when I started so thought about just walking the roads, but by the time I got to the trail head it was getting light so went the usual route.

trail 38:00 [3] 2.88 mi (13:12 / mi) +112m 11:46 / mi
Got home from school early and decided to run the loop.
Wore headphones which I've never done before while running (only while hiking) and listened to music which I've definitely never done before (usually listen to audiobooks) and found it really helped to keep me moving.
Walked the really steep hill in the middle, a bit of the hill right before the final meadow section and from the crosswalk home.

Yoga DVD. Did the whole thing instead of stopping at 40 minutes even though I modified big time. Worked up a sweat towards the end but knee was getting sore.

I was at the SCEE for a meeting about summer activities for the interns on my grant and decided to hike the trails when I was done. Nice day for a hike.

TNT - Hill repeats with Sandy. These were hard - haven't done them in a long time and it showed. Had to talk myself into a certain number of paces that I could jog for before having to walk. Pretty depressing to look at the graph and see just how little climb it was (not even 30m) and realize I couldn't sustain a jogging pace up the whole thing. Will have to do these more regularly and see if that can't be improved.
Nice dinner afterwards with Ann, Bob and Karl. And a fabulous addition to the soup lineup.

Event: QOC Patapsco McKeldin
orienteering 1:26:56 [3] 5.7 km (15:15 / km) +225m 12:44 / km
weight:130lbs
Green course at QOC McKeldin event. Reasonable navigation although I goofed up #10 a bit. Not sure I took the best routes in several places although quite happy with several others. Did not go down to the road for #9, but did run around on the roads for #12. Feeling wasted this evening.
Very enjoyable drive down and back though!
And a little more running than I was able to do two weeks ago at Oregon Ridge so heading in the right direction at least.

So Peggy told me about her L&F attempt for the spring and I joined in. I was 132 on Jan. 1. This is more - a lot more - than I've been in a really long time. I gained about 10 lbs over the fall and most of it can be blamed on NAOC. In part I wasn't exercising enough and in part I deal with stress by eating. And even after NAOC I just couldn't put the brakes on. So I am determined to lose that weight plus an additional 5 lbs that had crept slowly back on during the spring and summer. Let's see how I do.

Looking at potential control sites for an event at Hickory Run with anniemac.
Super fun outing. Followed lots of animal tracks figuring they would know how to get through the green stuff. But, in fact, the mountain laurel was not nearly as bad as I feared and the vegetation mapping is still extremely accurate so pretty easy going all in all. Except for the snow. And the sometimes rocky ground. And the sometimes wet ground. But still super fun!
