orienteering race 1:08:57 [3] *** 5.2 km (13:16 / km)
Iron Hill green course. Messed up 3 & 4 losing many minutes; relatively clean to everything else. The woods were thick but easy to move through in places - as in no prickers and thorns to grab you, just stuff everywhere. Enjoyed myself which I didn't expect - the vegetation seemed much more benign than in the past.

Note
Again, hip is okay while running, but hurts when standing up after sitting for a while. Guess I just have to not sit down! Feels a little better this morning - did some new stretches last night.
running 27:49 [3] 3.0 mi (9:16 / mi)
Didn't feel particularly good, but good enough to try and push hard for three miles. I wasn't as tough mentally as last time, letting the pace drop several times. But I'm still pleased with the effort.
warm up/cool down 36:03 [1]
Getting down to the drive and back home.

trail 1:06:35 [3]
TNT - trail run with Dasha and Anne. A nice refreshing run in the rain; ran part of our normal route backwards so long, slow uphills and quick, steep downhills instead of the other way around.

walking 1:01:00 [1]
Walk home from the bus stop.
There was a guy on the drive playing something similar sounding to a steel drum but it was kind of flying saucer shaped, convex not concave and he was playing it with his hands not sticks. The sound was extraordinary, so beautiful - incredibly rich but clear tones. I was mesmerized.

running 1:07:33 [3]
TNT - trail run with Anne, Lou and Jim. (Followed by a yummy salmon dish a la Anne and strawberry short cake.)
Took some time off this weekend; my hip has been hurting and I'm not sure what the problem is. It doesn't hurt at all when I run, but after sitting for a while when I stand up there's severe pain. I had something similar a few years ago and stretching seemed to take care of it but that hasn't helped this time around. I thought maybe resting it would help but either housework and yardwork doesn't count as resting or resting isn't the answer. Anyway, too little exercise and too many occasions for overeating made tonight's run hard work - mostly a slog, but at least Anne and I pushed the pace for the last half mile.
