Running 37:00 [3] 3.95 km (9:22 / km) +60m 8:42 / km
shoes: Brooks

Ran to the rec center with Katie. First real run in a long time. It's weird that my leg muscles are okay (from the walking up hills out at East Fork), but my aerobic fitness is in the toilet. I was sucking air so bad.

I did fartlek hill intervals on the way up the big hill. Again, the legs are strong, but the lungs aren't.

This is my first actual training in a long time. It's one month to the US ARDF Champs, so I really need to buckle down.

Note

I am tired. I was a pack mule most of the afternoon, carrying 6 and then 7 gallons for well over a mile (mostly on flat)---That's 48 and 56 pounds, respectively. I admit to being a backpacking wimp. Then a shorter bit (750m?) with 4 gallons.

I lot of planting stands and programming SI gear.

The unknown that got me was that I had to buy the water (7 cases of 6 gallons each), sports drink, and snacks (cookies and pretzels) myself. I've spent about 5 hours since Friday shopping unexpectedly---Costco didn't have water in gallons---Wal-Mart 1 was out of the cheap stuff, so I had to buy their 2 remaining cases of "Nursery Water, fortified with fluoride"---Meijer's didn't have any in cases---and finally, at Wal-mart 2, I had to wait 25 minutes while they found and carted out 5 cases. In the past, that was taken care of. (I'm not complaining, because other people in the club have done a lot more than I have.)

The last few hours was with a headlamp. I'm recharging the batteries now for some early morning Night-O to do a short loop we didn't place SI boxes on, plus some of the white course.

Up in 3 hours.
