Training Log Archive: vmeyer

Clear, crisp day. Start in the middle of the first hour with plenty of people around. No one around though when I fumble #1 and add a 7 minute error on #4. The rest are clean except for hesitating at an unmarked trail on the way to the GO control. Move up from 4th to 2nd.

Course listed as 5.79. Actual covered was 6.8.

Green Y - Splits

First day of the US Champs. Cold and a bit of snow/rain mix. Start near the front of the start window but do not prestart. See Katleen and Kris, but few others. Pretty happy with my run despite a couple of 6 minute or so errors. Place 4th behind Natalia (no chance of catching), Nancy K, and Barb D.

Course distance 5.6 km. Because of all the trail runs, actual distance covered was 7.7 km.

Green Y - Splits

Wanted to bike last night but had to mow the lawn instead. So, plan was to go right after work tonight if it wasn't raining. Well, it just started to sprinkle when I got outside. That usually is enough reason for me to go crawl into bed and watch the Gilmore Girls. But I decided to give it a go. Got a little wet out near Bluemont Park. Ride Bonus - trail nearly deserted - no strollers, no bikes with training wheels, etc.

Mowed lawn (50 mins) and weeded (30 mins). Now I can run away and play this weekend.
