6 PM
Bicycling (Commute) 7:30 [3] 1.41 mi (5:19 / mi)
(injured)
From the Bethesda Metro Station, to Northfield Rd. I rode in the dark slowly with a cold rain at first. It was good that I left when I did. As I got closer to home I could see frozen rain particles on the ground. My rear tire was pretty low on air too. The numbness on my left foot continued though most of the time it wasn't very noticeable.

Some numbness is starting to pop-up on my left foot. Previously, all of the numbness was on the right side.

Orienteering (Foot) 1:37:01 [1] * 2.8 km (34:39 / km) +95m 29:37 / km
spiked:8/8c slept:7.5 weight:190lbs (injured)
QOC: Patapsco State Park, McKeldin Area. It was a cool (low 30s F) and damp day with lots of fog on the drive going and coming. I felt pretty good about going out. I had on rain gear and O'shoes. Luckily, the rain from earlier in the day had ended. The spikes helped me even though the ground was frozen everywhere; even where it looked like mud.
This was Samantha's 2nd outing on an orienteering course. Since both Peggy and I are on the injured list, we went together. This was a good thing since just as we were going to the start, we talked with Vido (Videlin Aleksiev) about taking his 6 or 7 year old daughter Nicole along. She was pretty good, knowing how to read the map and almost always cheerful. She did talk-up a storm as we went. Nicole would run along but we had to coax, cajole, and urge Samantha along. It was an alien environment that we were taking her into. We'd comment on how pretty it all was (visibility was great) and in what is a kneejerk reaction a resounding "No" would be the answer we'd hear back. It really is a long way for Samantha to stretch herself. In China and for a long time at home just months back she'd still walk down stairs using only one foot to lead. The idea of walking on wet grass or icy trails was anathema. Sometimes the contrast with Nicole would motivate Samantha but as before, the main thing was that Samantha had to keep going to get to the finish. There were plenty of times when she'd stop and look to us and say "finished" in a half question, half demand.
We went slowly though it didn't seem like we were really stopping a lot. I did feel some strain on my back, perhaps from having done field checking the day before. Afterward, my back was a little more easy to aggravate too.
