Running (With Hanna) 4:15 [2] 0.39 mi (10:53 / mi) +19ft 10:25 / mi
shoes: Hoka Conquest 2

Morning run with Hanna on the HJ trail, before I went into work. Actually I should say attempted run, because it came to a sudden and crashing stop when I apparently stubbed my toe on a small rock protruding no more than an inch above the ground, and took a very rapid fall. Skinned up my right arm and left knee and bruised some ribs. I was OK enough to walk her for about 20 more minutes, but thought it would be foolish to try to run in the state I was in. As it was, I was bleeding from a few places, and I fairly successfully managed to stop the flow of blood, thankfully before I encountered anyone else on the trail because I would have been a bit embarrassed to be a bloody mess in front of someone. And I did in fact encounter a number of people.

Running (With Hanna) 20:00 [2] 2.01 mi (9:58 / mi) +86ft 9:35 / mi
shoes: Hoka Conquest 2

A bit too warm of a morning for Hanna (low 80's, since I didn't get out real early), but she was acting quite bored, mainly because I'm home alone with her for a few days while Cheryl is in Michigan (along with our son Greg and his son Fred), visiting Cheryl's sister and niece. Hanna had multiple water stops, and seemed to like the run just fine.

Walk/run 12:00 [3]
shoes: Hoka Conquest 2

Stress echo cardiogram. I was put on a treadmill for 12 minutes, not a very fast speed but steep incline, topping out at 16%, when I was going 4.2 mph. The incline was enough to put me into jogging mode. Then as soon as 12 minutes was up, the treadmill came to an abrupt stop and I had to move to the nearby bed as soon as possible, for an echo cardiogram, to compare to the baseline echo test that was done before the treadmill.

Event: ROC - Seneca Park

6 PM

Running warm up/down 6:23 [1] 0.66 mi (9:42 / mi) +1ft 9:41 / mi
shoes: NB 410 v5

Orienteering 44:22 [4] 3.9 mi (11:23 / mi) +217ft 10:48 / mi
shoes: NB 410 v5

Seneca Park Trail Challenge. I started out way too fast, trying to keep some sort of contact with the lead pack. I quickly lost the two top runners, and was running pretty close to Steve from the beginning to #5, then at the start of the next leg. He went through the fence opening which didn't seem like a good idea to me since the control (#6) was on the inside corner of the fence. It turned out well for him because he was able to reach through the fence and punch the control, and then he had an easier route to #7. I met up with him again at #8, and we ran down along the rail-trail to the next fence opening a bit before #9. He passed me soon after that, as I was quickly running out of gas. Then I got passed by a few others -- Mike, Stina, and eventually Zak Borden. We met up with Zak around #18 when he was inexplicably coming from a totally different direction than Mike and I were. They all beat me to #19, but Stina took a different, apparently less efficient, route to the finish and I edged her out. I was 7th out of 12 finishers.

Running 41:19 [0] +62ft

Andrea's run. GPS said 4.2 miles; adjust the mileage to 0 so it wouldn't look like I was racking up the mileage this week.

HJ trail with my daughter Andrea who is visiting for a long weekend, and Hanna. Slightly fewer rest stops than I had to do last Wednesday. Hanna did pretty well, she was very enthusiastic for the first 1.5 miles or so, then needed a few water breaks.

Whiting Road, with trailsnail. First time running there in ages! We used to train there very frequently. Only one loop, and that was plenty. I can't believe that two loops used to be our norm.
