Running 51:07 [3] 9.43 km (5:25 / km)
slept:6.0 shoes: 200811 NB Absorb EX 12
I went on a late night run (3 AM), with the objective of 50 minutes of moderate intensity running. I brought a headlamp and the West Point Long course map from 2008 (on which I met my Leipzig and DNF'd); I was inspired by Gerald's similar exercises.
The West Point map is non-trivial to navigate; I have concluded that the contours are the most reliable features for navigation, but they are often difficult to interpret. Last year, I had just come off a 16 minute/km middle distance course; I am better prepared physically and navigationally, though I need work in both areas. My goal is 10 min/km on the long, though I would be content with 12 min/km. I will go well armed with GU.
The work for the CSU A-meet and my job this week have coupled to completely wear me down. I don't expect to get much sleep tonight and Friday night as I struggle to finish the volunteer schedule and start list before West Point. It is unfortunate; the demands of my current circumstances (exacerbated by my sluggishness to execute them) have stoked my fury at a certain director. I hope to be judicious in all that I say and do in the next few weeks.
