here is day two. This time I really wandered off the map. Looking over this map I can see lots of mistakes that I made, but at the time they were all over shadowed by the big error on 6. about 5 mins lost on 6. but maybe another 3 minutes other places (2, 7, 12, 13, 16, 18 )

Blue day 2 - Splits

Map from Day one with QR. Note I didn't go off the map on the way to 4, I just didn't scan that part. Also, I think I need a better place to put map files... this is kinda small to read.

Blue day 1 - Splits

cruising in to work. took the bike so that I could get home quicker after work was over.

don't know why, but I felt just absolutely great. Fantastic for almost the whole day. I was in the greatest mood. No clue why, but legs were zippy, and work was fun and I'm pretty happy with all of that :)

Running to work. with the Garmin on. was thinking about getting some more miles in, but this was all I had time for in the morning.

After work met Zan and some of her other friends in Cambridge for dinner.

bike to work. Somehow I never seem to leave on time. I got caught up washing the dishes (still left from when Ed and Alex came over on Friday) and so I was 5 minutes late out the door. Luckily it really doesn't matter when I arrive.

I was worried that I would be late, so I was pushing hard to get up to Pine Banks for the CSU training tonight. I am very proud that I didn't get lost as I pedaled my way through cambridge and up to Medford.

A fun night sprint set by Ian as CSU training this week. I had brought my tiny LED light and discovered that it was not bright enough for the task. The woods were too rife with briars and saplings and the footing wasn't ideal either. I only did one of the courses and then came in from the wilds. On the plus side I found the most gorgeous view of Boston I've seen so far. There was ideal purple light pollutioned skies and a skyline of Boston that was amazing, right at control number 9 on the course. post card worthy.

After the orienteering I didn't stay long to chat, I hopped the bike and tried to get home again quickly, since I hadn't seen Sam since Friday. she was awake for a few minutes after I got home, but already in bed and curled up with a book.

don't really feel like tracking down my garmin right now to figure out how long this was or how long it really took. I biked to the orange line, and took the subway to mass Ave stop ( right at Northeastern) then I biked back along huntington and Rt 9 to home. It was a nice ride, but it probably would have been just as fast to bike straight back from Medford... I was trying to save time.

Running to work. Walked with my friend Jane to the T-stop and then ran into work from there. Jane needed to get up pretty early so I had a bit more time than normal to use for running. I decided to run loops of the reservoir until it was time to get to work by 9. 4 laps and the rest came out to 9.7 miles by my Garmin.

It felt great, now I just need to learn how to get up that early without external motivation.
