Part one of hiking around the new mapped area just getting myself familiar with things.

Part two (after getting back to the car and getting some lunch) of hiking around on the new map.

A quick jog from the likely start area of the long courses - down a trail, up a trail and then through the terrain back to the car. Just wanted to do a little something faster after all the slogging.

Decided I needed to run. Felt good on the downhills for a change - more stable somehow.

Hour and a half to hang all the controls for today's event. But I'm sure I was standing still for half of it. Really nice in the park early this morning with the birds going strong.

Had to get up really early to hang all the controls, but on the flip side, the controls were all picked up and I was home before 3! Ran out of sprint maps early but someone chipped in and drew and people were willing to leave their map for someone else to use.

The poster my niece is working on is almost done. It is so cool.

All of my recent emails to the deciders have not netted a single response. Very odd.

short hill loop

4 miles on the drive plus the down and up. Not pretty but the farthest I've run in a quite a while.

Taught again without the knee brace. Not at all bad during class but a little sore afterward. Felt better a few hours later. Knee was a bit sore while running this evening towards the end - not sure if there's any one thing or just a combination of longer run, serious twisting and stretching in yoga and pt exercises, and teaching. I'm certainly working it harder without the brace than I have in a while and it doesn't hurt any more than it has recently and probably actually less.

Will test it some more the next few weekends as I start to do some serious woods time at HR and at events coming up.

Weight loss plan is still on track. Should have made a bet with someone...

Regular hour and 15 minute class but we didn't do nearly as much as usual so I settled on 45 minutes of actual training. That's okay though - I was pretty tired today.

No sign of furry little rodents for two days. Keeping my fingers crossed.

C • Nice job on the exterminati... 4

Taught without my knee brace on for the first time in years. Knee was a little sore but not too bad. Another thing to keep my fingers crossed for!
