Running (trail) 1:57:51 [2] 9.25 mi (12:44 / mi)
Went out on the trail loop I have been running lately in PWF with Valerie, who was measuring the distance with her GPS thing. Unfortunately, what the park trail posts had measured at 9.8 miles, she measured at 9.25 :-( So now I have to tack on more trail to get to 10. And now I realize I wasn't moving along quite as swiftly as I had thought.
It was a nice run but the trails were still icy in many spots, but not too muddy. We moved with extra caution, but not carefully enough across this one little bridge. I slipped on some ice and my right shin smacked down on the edge of the wood. I almost cried and probably would have if Valerie hadn't been there. I now have about a 6" scrape sitting on top a linear bruise that is swollen. Should be beautiful by tomorrow.
All in all, though, it was a nice run. I get set in my running ways when I'm always running by myself, so it's nice to run with someone new who will make me push myself when I might normally not.

Note
I have been a ginormous slug this week, but today that ends!
Running 46:57 [3] 5.0 mi (9:23 / mi)
After a rather busy week at work, I decided it was time to get out there and do something. So I did my new little pick-up workout (sliding some 5 min. intervals into the middle of a workout). It was freezing cold and the roads and sidewalks were very slippery. Of course, with my first step, I slipped and totally pulled my hamstring that I've been trying to nurse back to health :-( I guess it's back to the heating pad and Vitamin I.

Cycling (Trainer) 1:00:00 [3] 16.7 mi (16.7 mph)
Did my usual hour on the trainer, but made it a resistance workout versus a spinning workout. It just makes me feel like I've worked harder...which I think I have!

Orienteering 45:00 [1] **
Went back to Prince William Forest with other folks from QOC to survey the terrain as compared to the LIDAR base map. Walked a section of an area near Turkey Run Ridge. This really helped determine what we need to do to be able to use this for making a base map. I had to cut out early to get home for when the boys came back from camping.
