Brown course at Fountainhead. 4.8 km

My second fall yesterday was a Superman sprawl in which I must have really wrenched my shoulder. It hurt a little for the rest of the run, but by last night, it hurt a lot but I could still raise my arm. I put the heating pad on it and took 800 mg ibuprofen.

This morning it still hurt, but I really wanted to go orienteering, so I decided to just walk the Brown course and work on navigation. I did walk the course, my navigation was not stellar, and I made some bad decisions in the woods...the kind that I always have trouble with -- I decide on a route choice and then halfway through, I start modifying it, most often for the worse.

It was also unbelievably hot and muggy. I was sweating before I even started. On some of the controls, I had to help my hurt shoulder/arm with my other hand so I could lift it high enough to punch in at the control.

My arm still hurts.

I went for a run today even though I knew it would be pretty muddy. Little did I know. I fell twice early on, hard. Then I slowed down a lot. At the turnaround point, I decided to explore other trails to see if they were less muddy, but they were not. At one point, a huge oak tree had fallen down across the trail, so I had to go into the woods to go around it. I saw I was walking through poison ivy. such an enjoyable run. I got through the rest of the run without falling down, but it was quite slow.

I didn't think trail running was supposed to be a contact sport!
