Better today, but I still didn't do well running in the grass - just feel sooooo slow. About 2 x 2:00 in error. I can't believe I am even saying that. I still shake my head when the "elite" runners say they had a five second error! I used to be thrilled with 15 minute errors.

I got out a little later than planned because the printers were acting up. I didn't want to leave download until the system was "up and running" - at least when I left. I didn't care what happened after that.

It was a little chillier today, but the rain held off. The technical side of things went well also. The trip home was ~ 2 hours (versus 4 hours on the way up). So, life is good.

Green Y: Day 2 - Splits

Fair Hill - early start. Lost about 3-4 minutes from 1-2 with a poor directional execution, and not sorting out where I was sooner. Disappointed not to break 60 mintues. Knew it was doable, but I tired across some of the fields near the end. I was happy with my effort. Third on F45 behind a smokin' Heidi O who was 3.5 minutes ahead of Eileen - sixth on the Green Y course.

Beautiful day out. Epunching went very well with Mary & Mark Frank, and HVO's Jeff and Alan as today's apprentices.

Day 1: Green Y - Splits

Event: DVOA A-Meet (Interscholastics)
 

For Bash's photo contest. The "PU" control at the Extreme-O in Georgia in February.

This morning's weight was 3 pounds lighter - just had to keep up with Tim - at least temporarily.

Yard work after work, so had to pass on a dreamed about bike ride. Lots of digging holes.

Did 5 pushups too.

This just seemed really hard today. I probably should have taken another easy day, but with temps at ~ 80 F, it just seemed like a good day to run.

I struggled breathing going outbound into a stiff wind. Then I got further out then I should have, so I felt pressured to get back in time for dinner. It isn't polite to keep the cook waiting without prior notice.

So, my breathing seemed even worse coming back as I struggled to get a deep breath even though the pace didn't seem that hard. I made it home with 5 minutes to spare.

The good news is that my calf feels 100 %, and my shoulder is stiff but not too painful unless I rotate my arm.

The last mile I walked, including the hill behind the house. I am going to have to name that hill one day. Today, I stopped and looked up towards the house, and the house seemed so tiny and far away. It isn't even like it is a huge hill, but when I am all tuckered out, it is. It is the one coming up to the USGS symbol on the left side of the map.
