Strength Training 1:00:00 [1]

Helped my sister move her stuff that has been in my basement for the past two months to her new house. Tomorrow will be more of the same.

Note

So, this has been a totally sucky week. It was bad at work with a lay off on Thursday where 30% of the work force was let go. Many good friends whom I've worked with for a long time. The worst was a husband and wife who were both laid off. Bad at training...or the lack of training. Just seemed like there was no time and no motivation. Hopefully things will turn around next week there. I'm going to try to get in a long hike next Saturday in preparation for the rogaine. And I need to get to REI to use my gift card on some winter items. Just a blechy time.

Orienteering 1:20:00 [3] ***
shoes: Salomon

After a day of rain, today dawned so beautifully that I decided I had to get out in the woods before helping my sister move. So I headed to PWF to run part of the Red course from the 1992 NA Champs. I ran most of it, but had to cut off the last bit so I could get home on time.

One obstacle was that the bridge over Quantico Creek was closed again but I couldn't sneak across this time because all of the planks had been removed. So, I found a thinner section of the creek a little downstream and crossed it there. I still ended up to my thighs, courtesy of the rain yesterday. It was a good test for my shoes as these are the ones I'm going to wear for the Rogaine.

I felt great again today. I can't be exactly sure why I feel so good lately, but maybe, just maybe, it has something to do with the medicine I started taking for my hypothyroidism. I hadn't been very consistent with taking it, but now I've placed it right in front of the coffee maker, so I can't miss it. Hopefully, this good feeling will continue.

Strength Training 30:00 [1]

I helped my sister and brother in law move from their temporary apartment to their new house. They're renting out their house in Stafford and moved to Herndon to be closer to both jobs. Since my sister bruised her rib two weeks ago and her husband strained his back about the same time, Graham and I did a lot of heavy lifting. I think I'll be feeling it tomorrow.

Next weekend, we move the rest of their stuff from my basement. Hopefully, they'll be more healed by then.
