Warm up for the tempo run.

A fast run behind the Hawes' place. I felt a bit sluggish after the day off, but a few minutes of fast running took care of that. It was hot as well, the sweat was poring off of me. I tried to read the map when I could. I was mainly focused on running during this session.

20 min before the tempo and 30 min after the tempo, running at a comfortable pace, focusing on the map I was running with. A great run!

A follow john exercise with Boris on Hogencamp. We drove out to the extreme west corner of the map and headed out into some interesting, terrain along the margin of the map. At some places the terrain was quite technical. This part of Harriman was especially beautiful. We trekked up to the top the open hills and had a go at some more Scandinavian type terrian. It was pretty tough interpreting the map and making it fit the terrain, even while stopped. I think that these parts of the map were mapped in the winter when vegitation wasn't as much of a factor. Anyhow, it was a good exercise in technical orienteering. After the run, I didn't feel too bad physically. A good sign for my overall fitness.
