MoboGoGlobo - navigating Eric around the course. Eric was awesome getting to where he needed to be faster than I could believe especially the downhills. It takes me about the same going up as down but he was flying down the downhills and would be asking for information before I could imagine he was where he needed to get to. Only a couple of small hesitations, we messed up a bit to #1 because I had no idea what the feature was and then we lost the phone connection as well, then #14 must have been hard to spot because he got where he needed to be and didn't see a flag. Momentary panic as I couldn't imagine where else he could be but then he spotted it And then at the end I couldn't read the map since there was a lot of details but luckily the controls were out in the open and I headed him in the right direction and he would spot the control and just run to it.

Very fun and interesting too. A little strange to just hang up the phone at the end though.

short hill loop

Surprised at the time since my legs felt really dead. Was trying to rationalize why I was going to be so slow the whole last bit through the meadow and hill home.

Nice hike with Sandy. Thank goodness for peer pressure. ;)

New short hill loop. Still pretty slow but improving! Pretty good effort up the last hill in the park and the final hill to my house.

I was thinking about my pace and whether I am running what I always see referred to as "junk miles". But, if I went any slower I'd pretty much be walking and I can't go any faster for that distance at the moment so it seems like that's the only pace that makes any sense. Perhaps there is no such thing as junk miles until after you can run at some reasonably fast pace so that there's a significant difference between jogging and running.

TNT - hike with Sandy, Jim and Bob.

I was unable to exert even an ounce of willpower and so what started as a quick snack turned into a full dinner before heading over to Sandy's. Good thing we were hiking and not running!
