A quick run late in the evening, a great way to unwind after a two test day! It was quite nice to just get out and run fast on grass and concrete. My legs felt strong, but I could definetly feel that my fitness has been lacking since I stopped my training program in Montana. I have been doing tons of orienteering this fall and summer without much of a plan to go with it. It seems that the best way to improve fitness is to follow a program where you are working towards specific goals as opposed to just the general goal... to get better. This is why I feel like it is time to set some specific goals in orienteering. Not just what I want to achieve in the next year, rather what I want to achieve in ten years when I am at the peak of my orienteering ability. Yeah, it's a long way off, but what I do today and tomorrow and the next day will make what I am when I am 29 and 30. I am tired of doubt and people looking down on dreams and goals that they think are too lofty. It is time train.... I mean really train. Ahh but I must remember the baby steps that lead to giant leaps and bounds :o)

A nice session of continuous core work. I hope that my present motivation and inspiration level sticks with me and is not a passing phase. I will work to keep my inspiration forever high so I am always striving to be better.
