	COMMENTS	A geocache run. Started on Kinderkamack Rd, Oradel at the Burns and Roe Bldg. Went through many side streets to make it to Pascack Brook County Pk, found the cache fairly quickly(3miles away) decided to try for another cache about 2 miles away in River Vale, no luck in finding that one because I ran into problems with the river. Made an interesting course covering Oradel, Emerson and River Vale.

	COMMENTS	Training is paying off. Hit my first Sub 50min easy 6 miler in a long time. 40F cloudy felt colder though. Still only wore shots, light jacket over a short-t, cap and gloves.
2/28/2009	SATURDAY	16.02	Saddle River County Pk	2:20:03	XT
	COMMENTS	I was feeling fatigued a bit, maybe from the 6 miler the day before or Thursday's workout or most likely from donating, platelets and plasma the night before. The donation probably dehydrated me.
