Old golf course

Ran the new route again today, a little longer, about 4 miles, absolutley perfect day out.

DY level 2-3

Crazy amounts of splits tonite, held for timed periods, a few other unpleasant things like that as well.

DY level 1-2 and Tuscarora trail @ Pinnacle shelter

Pretty difficult class this morning, tired me out. After lunch ran and hiked (mostly hiked) on the Tuscarora trail and a side trail from Shawnee land to Pinnacle shelter and back, about 4 miles.

3rd Winchester

Ran about 3 miles on the cross country/mountain bike trails through the woods next to the battlefield. Very nice, like being out in the woods.

DY level 1-2 and DY level 2-3

At lunch went to a pretty strenuous class, did my handstands again. Tonite went to a much harder class, did my handstands for the little girl, got a hug!

DY level 1-2

Handstand! Pressed up into handstand from headstand on a couple blocks, absolutely wonderful.

Old golf course

Definitely struggled today, it was hot out and I actually cut my run short, about 2.5 miles.

DY level 2-3

Headstands on blocks, very cool. I did it on 3 blocks, probably the closest I will ever come to a handstand with this stupid elbow.

Elizabeth furnace

Ran this morning down in George Washington park at Elizabeth furnace on the Tuscarora/Massanutten trail, up Massanutten mountain. Very pretty place, constant uphill was a bear tho.

DY level 1-2

Not such a hard class this morning, enjoyed it tho.

Old golf course

Someone mowed along the airport fence, but the grass is way too high along lots of the path so I ran a different route today, to the first turn, back along the road to route 50 and back. About the same length and time as usual, 3.5 miles.

DY level 3

Not such a tough level 3 class tonite. A few things I can't do very well but not too tough.

DY level 1-2

Class at lunch, not too hard, crammed in a bunch of headstands and neck is good.

Old golf course

Ran on a heat advisory day, grass up to my waist, my legs got all splotchy from allergy to something, 3.5 miles.

3rd Winchester

Ran this morning at the battlefield, found and ran on several of the cross country trails. It looks like there is a bunch of new trails for me to run on there, about 3 miles.

Raven Rocks

Ran this morning from the lot at route 7 up to Raven Rocks and back. Up, down, up, down, up and back, great route and great views from the rocks, about 6 miles.

DY level 1-2

Good class this morning, my neck held up nicely to headstands, even no hands, thanks to the one week break.

Boga

Cindy and I went to boga tonite, harder than I remember those flows being at boga, good food and beer.

Tinicum wildlife refuge

Slept in a little bit this morning and ran at the refuge again, bright and sunny today. Saw a bunch of turtles and some foxes, about 4 miles.

Tinicum wildlife refuge

Got up real early to run at sunup at the refuge. It was dark and misty out, I was the only one out there and got hassled by a bunch of geese, about 4 miles.

Tinicum wildlife refuge

Before the conference in Philadelphia today ran at a very cool nature preserve. Wetlands with tons of birds and other animals, very pretty place. About 4.5 miles.

DY level 1-2

Fairly difficult Saturday morning class, mandala siriya and headstands, messed up the neck some more.

Old golf course

Ran at lunch, 2 ticks but felt pretty decent and had a OK time.

DY level 3

Tough class after work, very sweaty.

Old golf course

Ran the route again, a couple ticks, no geese, a little slow.

DY level 3

Tough, long flow tonite, hard and fun. Back bends and twists.

Balls Bluff and DY all levels

After dropping off Carissa at the airport, ran at dawn at Balls Bluff battlefield in a light rainstorm. Beautiful place, got lost a few times with all the different colored trails. About 5 miles. Afternoon went to the class now taught by Amanda. Like an old school gym yoga class, not easy and all familiar poses, I liked it.

DY level 1-2 and AT @ Morgans Mill rd

Class this morning with Carissa, pretty difficult, did a lot of headstands at the end. After lunch ran the same location as yesterday, just south instead of north. Down, up, then down and a little up, very nice out, about 5 miles on tired legs.

AT @ Buzzard Hill

Ran this morning on the trail about 6 miles south of Bears den. Cool waterfalls and view on the hill. Ran from Morgan Mill Rd to the next drainage after Buzzard hill and back, about 6 miles. Absolutely wonderful out.

Old golf course and DY level 3

The usual route at lunch, 2 ticks and a pretty slow time. Class after work was good, some very difficult new poses.

DY level 3

Went with Carissa tonight after a nice day out with her. Difficult class with lots of headstands again.
