Trail Run (Prince William Forest) 2:30:20 [2] 10.0 mi (15:02 / mi)
weight:190lbs shoes: Saucony Hurricane 6 S10
Beautiful day with temps around 35. I really like Prince William Forest but the drive up/down 95 can be a deal buster. I didn't let it deter me today.
Legs flat - probably due to yesteday's workout on pavement. Stuck with my original plan to get 10 miles in. Trail in excellent shape except for about 10% which was quite muddy and/or slippery.
Time includes stoppage time for a dog off leash with owners way behind. I really hate that - the dog turned out to be friendly but it stood in the middle of the trail and I wasn't going to try to get past it until its owners arrived. Very irritating and anxious time since I am a bit leary of dogs.
Carried my O map - which was a good thing because the route I was planning to take was closed.
I enjoyed the trip to the woods!!

Running (Bike trail) 1:07:00 [3] 6.6 mi (10:09 / mi)
ahr:145 shoes: Saucony Hurricane 5 Men's
Almost let the day get away from me - was enjoying a trashy book and too much junk food. Probably needed the rest after 4 straight weekends with O meets (including a canceled one). Now, physically, they weren't all that hard, but mentally it has been a lot of work.
Anyway, head out and feel decent until I turned the corner into a strong head wind. Where did that come from? The trees and wind chimes in the back of the house are quiet.
Tough it out to Bluemont and happily turn around and head home with the wind behind me now (at least most of the way).
Splits coming home were an amazing (for me) 854 and halves of 446 426 429 and 502.
I was so shocked about the 854 mile, and how great it felt, that I had to walk a little of the next one just to make sure I was really okay. :)

Walking warm up/down (Hill home) 7:07 [1] 0.4 mi (17:47 / mi)
shoes: Saucony Hurricane 5 Men's
Measured the hill behind the house today as .18 miles with an elevation change of 85 feet.
My poor left heel is doing well with orthotics - no new blister despite the miles the last couple of days.

Running (Treadmill) 41:20 [1] 3.25 mi (12:43 / mi)
shoes: Saucony Hurricane 6 S10
Snowing out, so the treadmill would have to do. Turned up WMZQ and got to it... Did my favorite workout - couple minutes of walking to warm up, then .25 mile at 4.6, 4.8, 5.0, 5.2, 5.4, 5.6 and back down. Walked at the end to cool down. I am not sure if I could have added one more up to 5.8, but dinner was almost ready so I didn't have to find out.

Walking 5:52 [1] 0.36 mi (16:18 / mi)
shoes: Saucony Hurricane 6 S10
Put my orthos in shoes and took a walk around the outside of the school building. Also playing with my new GPS device. I remember why I don't like the inserts - the leather cover is slippery. I wonder if I scuffed them up a bit if they would be easier to walk in...
Running (Neighborhood route) 47:15 [2] 4.65 mi (10:10 / mi)
weight:189lbs shoes: Saucony Hurricane 6 S10
Lots more pep in the legs today. Temps in mid 40s - short sleeve and short weather. Well, at least for me - not one other runner out in even short sleeves... Wore my ortho inserts - probably not supposed to run in them as far as I did the first time out in ages, but they felt good. Feel very positive after today's run.
Walking 12:39 [1] 0.8 mi (15:49 / mi)
shoes: Saucony Hurricane 6 S10
Walk up the hill and back to the house.

Running (Glen Carlyn route) 1:03:41 [2] 5.2 mi (12:15 / mi)
shoes: Saucony Hurricane 6 S10
Wanted to play with my newest GPS device - Garmin Forerunner 301 - includes heart rate monitor. But I mostly bought it becasue the ENTER button is a big red one I can actually see while running. The software I have used to import the data & overlay it on an orienteering map is not working with the new device. I wanted some fresh data to send to the software developer to see if the problem could be resolved.
Otherwise, I would have bagged a workout today...Legs sluggish, but I still managed to make it out to Glen Carlyn and back. Threw in a couple of laps on the track to get up to 5 miles.
Developed a new blister in the usual place - the inner side of my left heel. Don't think I'll ever resolve this problem.
