orienteering 53:40 [2] ***
14c

Latokartano

Nice to get out on a sunny day. Should really be going to non-local maps on days like this, but going back to bed for a couple of hours seemed like a good idea. I think the pollen is affecting me, but since my normal state is woeful, the pollen doesn't make matters much worse.

Sprinttipäivä tomorrow!

Note

WotD: itkukouristus ~ convulsive weeping, crying spasms; paroxysm of weeping.

Though on the same page was itiö ~ spore, and itiöpöly ~ spore dust - which would be appropriate given the season.

Slept poorly again. Early night.

trail run 47:00 [3]

4 hill loops, back via the arboretum.

Sadly this counts as a long run. I'm happy I at least got out the door despite being tired. It being sunny today helped, even if my sun was at sunset.

WotD: puutuoteteollisuus ~ wood product industry.

T&S brought cake for after dinner, yum.

My little sister turned thirty today. I'm not sure that's supposed to happen.

trail run 18:30 [3]

Brief morning spin. Had the intention of running in the evening too, but went to bed for a couple of hours when I got home instead. And then didn't sleep properly later. For a change. On the plus side, I got out the door.

Monday Mar 24, 2014 #

Note

Ugh. Didn't sleep particularly well, so slipped back into unproductive mode. Did a bit of strength at least before another late dinner.

WotD: ryysyköyhälistö ~ the ragged proletariat

and on the same page: ryytineilikoita  ~ cloves (in the partitive plural, our current topic in class);
ryökäle ~ wretch, despicable fellow; villain, rascal
and for the orienteers... ryteikkö ~ brush heap; entanglement (formed by fallen trees in a forest); tangle.

trail run 29:30 [3]

WotD: turmio ~ ruin; destruction; havoc; perdition; disaster; blight, bane;
... turmion päivä ~ fatal (ill-starred) day, day of calamity
... turmiollinen ~ pernicious, noxious etc

It wasn't that bad though. Body is nearly recovered. After doing a bunch of maths and a touch of core and a little shopping and some more maths, eventually got out for a jog. My shoes felt heavy.

And there's still a bunch of ice. Why? Oh, and someone 'borrowed' my sheets from the drying-room.
