Running warm up/down (Grass, paved) 8:00 [2] * 0.8 mi (10:00 / mi) +20m 9:17 / mi
shoes: R-Heavy Winter Running Shoes

Taking it very easy to hope that foot stays fine, and as part of pre-Trials taper. Foot not sore during run or all evening. Good.

Orienteering race 56:30 [4] *** 7.9 km (7:09 / km) +200m 6:21 / km
shoes: O-Black/Green VJ Spikes

Brandywyne. 1st I think, 10% ahead of Mihai, but he had run a 15k trail race earlier in the day. Race was physically and navigationally okay. Biggest issue was a sloppy start. I was talking when they said Go, so I fumbled with watch and map and ended up going straight through too much medium green on the way to # 1. On # 2, I waffled on route choice taking a middle forest route between two trail options, and on # 3, I didn't even see the road option right next to me. Total lost there was probably over a minute - I need to get focussed better before I start next weekend.

Orienteering warm up/down (Good, for a change) 20:00 [2] 1.5 mi (13:20 / mi)
shoes: O-Black/Green VJ Spikes

Warmup & cooldown was long enough to be proper for a change. Reran start of course (via better route choice) as cooldown. L-foot was totally fine for 30 minutes of the race, and only a touch of soreness after that, recovering as soon as I stopped. But then about 3-4 hours after finishing it was getting pretty sore while walking around a store. After that I went home and put ice on it for 10 minutes and took 600 mg IB, and it got better.

Running long (Trails, Paved, Forest) 1:25:00 [2] * 11.33 km (7:30 / km)
shoes: O-Mixed purple & black

SW Evansburg trails. I can see why we don't have a map of that. There isn't all that much white, and hunting is allowed is most of it. Some of it could be worth mapping though.
L-foot was totally fine, except it was mildly sore for 10 minutes during the last 20 minutes of the run. After stretching at the end it was fine, and this morning it seems fine. Odd.

Running warm up/down (Paved, grass) 40:00 [2] 4.0 mi (10:00 / mi)
shoes: R-Heavy Winter Running Shoes

In light rain and 40 degrees, on the way home after dropping off the Jeep for it's annual inspection. The mechanic/shop-owner knows me because our kids go to the same pool in the summer, so I'm actually learning to trust someone who works on my car...

Running warm up/down (Paved, grass) 35:00 [2] 3.68 mi (9:31 / mi)
shoes: R-Heavy Winter Running Shoes

Back to the shop to pick up my car, in the afternoon, in moderate-rain and wind. A bit unpleasant at times, but for the most part the wind was on my side, not in my face.

The bad news is that my L-foot was sore about 3 steps outside my door (on soft, soaked grass) and stayed sore (although very mildly) through most of the run. I stretched it out after and it seemed fine.

Orienteering warm up/down (Grass, forest) 50:05 [2] *** 3.0 mi (16:42 / mi) +100m 15:08 / mi
shoes: O-Black/Green VJ Spikes

Foot test in terrain (Line O' at VF park.) same O' shoes as when L-foot was sore on Sunday, but no tape, and it was warmer (55 vs 40, and no long wait before starting.). L-Foot more or less fine. A little pain on and off in the 15 minutes or so after finishing, but a little ice took that away, and it's still fine 3 hours later. (And the following morning too.)

Orienteering intervals (Surges during terrain run) 10:00 [4] ** 1.67 km (5:59 / km)
slept:8.0 shoes: O-Black/Green VJ Spikes

5x2 minutes
Line-O', but not paying too much attention

Monday Mar 21, 2005 #

Running warm up/down (Grass, paved) 17:00 [2] 1.55 mi (10:58 / mi)
shoes: R-Heavy Winter Running Shoes

Taking it easy on my foot. It was fine although I was favoring it (habit already built...)

Strength (Foot/Ankle) 9:00 [1]

Normal clock squats, ankle in the air range-of-motion stretches, and then isomentrint inversion and eversion of both ankles.
