orienteering 1:36:59 [3]
DVOA local event at Camp Rodney. Green course. Although some were complaining of the thick woods, I actually liked this course and thought the course setter did a good job setting legs that gave you reasonable routes through the not so bad stuff. Made a lot of silly small errors. Had no drive to push hard.

An uninspired outing - 4 miles on the drive at 10:30 pace plus walking down and back up.
Just found out my mom is really ill. It's not clear exactly how bad things are but it doesn't sound good. She's always been so healthy and full of energy, travelling the world and seeing the sights. It's really hard to get my head around this.

TNT - Media. Eric, Tom, Randy, Sandy, me, and Clem for a short time. Dasha joined us for dinner.
Not really sure of the total time - although I was dutifully taking splits and while the watch was beeping back at me, it wasn't recording anything but it was dark enough out that I wasn't looking at the watch so I didn't notice until yesterday when I tried to read the splits.
Had assumed we'd be on the track at the high school so didn't bring my headlamp, but there was a soccer game. So ran a warm-up lap around the fields while it was still light enough to see and then settled on a short stretch straight that was lit by street lamps from the parking light and did intervals; run hard one way, jog back. Did 12. Was very consistent in terms of strides - I was pace counting the last half since it makes it easier for me to get through them.
Did a good bit of stretching while waiting for everyone to finish.
Excellent dinner by Tom. Worth the wait!

TNT - Clem, Dasha, Sandy and Bob. Clem and I did hills while the rest ran the drive. I knew I couldn't keep up on the drive so I figured at least hills were my own pace.
16:16 down to the drive and then to the bottom of the hill
454/503 up/down
452/504
459/505
3:18 stretching while waiting - Clem finished his hills just as the others came by; quite good timing
rest of time is back home where I jogged the road part of the hill home - it seemed almost flat after the other hill!
Found a way to "run" down the road that doesn't hurt my knees - a combination of running when there's some softer stuff on the side that is runnable and the road isn't too steep and a weird walk/run where I keep my knees bent pretty far and keep my weight back. May look/feel weird but it works!
