Went for a trail run at Vasquez Rocks. This gave me the chance to put some climb into my workout. Although I stuck to a slow or moderate jog on the downhill and flats, the climbs were tough enough that it made it a strenuous workout. Since I didn't have biggins to protect me, I sang my "mountain lions please don't eat me" song while I ran.

10min/1min jogging/walking - 5 reps. Not quite long enough yet to call it a "long" workout but I'm getting there. This was my first work-out since starting up last week where I didn't feel sore while running, so that's a good thing. Did the first and last rep on dirt roads and tried to stay off in low brush as much as possible for the middle three reps.

Fairly slow jog. I accidentally forgot to wear my O shoes so I stayed on the dirt roads instead of going cross-country. More rabbits!

Green Course at Tahquitz Scout Camp. A very nice course. Some lack of contour detail caused a few errors, but not too bad. I felt fairly slow and was definitely walking the uphills.

Picked up four controls after the Tahquitz meet. I just walked fairly leisurely through this.

I love flushing rabbits in the morning! Slow jogging 10min jog/1min walk (4 reps) around the perimeter of the lot. Hot and slow, I was really dogging it by the end. Ran with my camelback, which I never do - I usually just wear it when hiking or mapping. The only time I did this before I had a really bad sore back as a result. Hopefully, that won't happen again, I've moved on to a slightly different model since then.

Event: Rocky Mountain 1000 Day
 

My first training run at my new address and my first in a long time. There is a large bit of vacant land around and I went running through it. Mostly flat and open - short grass, with scattered bushes and Joshua trees. I expect to do a lot of training out there. Now that I've moved and am settling into a new routine, I plan to pump up the training volume.
