I went to Meadowood to run the Red course from the QOC meet in December. It went very well, with no falls at all! It's really fun now to have a Forerunner so that when I run old courses I can see how close I came to where the circle was. And today, I hit them all just fine.

On top of that, it was a stupendous weather day. The thermometer in my car read 68 when I started and 70 when I got back. It was just an unbelievable spring-like day. So nice to be outside.

Jack and Lucy's newest game is to try and bite my hair as I'm going up and down, doing crunches. They think it's hysterical. I do not.

A short, slow run around the Hood. It was nice to get out early, but man was it cold! My legs felt frostbitten by the first mile. It got a little better, but I was glad this was just a shortie.

I am back in New Jersey for a few days. I didn't get to do my yoga this morning because work got busy very early, so I brought the DVD with me and worked out in the hotel room. That was kind of cool. It opens up another opportunity to work out.

Event: QOC: Lake Fairfax, VA
 

Qualifying sprint at Lake Fairfax. I ran this early so I could help Valerie with registration and e-punching, and the ground was still very icy and slippery. I overshot #4, which put me way behind, but it was still a fun course.

Final A at Lake Fairfax. I was busy helping to start people in the very hectic finals, so I couldn't start at my appointed time. Plus, we ran out of Final B maps, so I just grabbed a Final A map and ran it with Valerie. We made a bonehead move while trying to cross the big stream, but otherwise it went well. It's always fun running with Valerie!

And, finally, Dave Pruden and I went out to collect controls.

This was a great meet...the running was a lot of fun and the potluck Winter Meeting afterwards was very enjoyable.
