Steve was out of town and Ben hadn’t gotten any sleep, so it was a run with just me and Ira Glass buzzing in my ears. Hoofed it up and down Capitol Hill for part of the route, which clearly I need to start tackling a little more often.

Dragging big time today. We went to a baseball game last night with my Dad and brother-in-law last night, and I was feeling the lack of energy this morning. Pushed through as best I could though, and actually did a pretty good job, so… victory.

Nice cool morning for the start of June, to the point that I could’ve possibly worn long sleeves (but didn’t). No complaints here!

Went for a run by myself in Sligo Creek Park, since I was home and by myself. A little warmer than I’m used to just right now with the sun and all, and clearly I need to try and include hills a little more often, but on the whole a good effort.

Ben came back out for today’s run, which was thoroughly pleasant. Nothing out of the ordinary!

Back-to-back

Start time: 5/12/2014, 5:41am

Distance: 6.45 miles
Average pace: 9:13min/mile

Current Shoes: 74 miles

Originally I was supposed to run w/ Steve and Ben (after having our long run yesterday), but for various reasons both had to bag out. Still, I was already up and changed, so I headed out on my own. On the plus side, the fences around the Washington Monument are finally gone (with the repairs from the 2011 earthquake complete!) so I marked the occasion by running up and over the little hill that it sits on. I don’t normally tackle back-to-back runs (I like to have a day in-between with either something else or nothing at all) but everything was a-ok.

Ah Weekdays

Back to the weekday runs, hurrah! Steve was having some calf muscle issues so he had to drop out, but Ben ran 4 with me on Mon and 3 on Wed. All in all, a good run.

Quiet Saturday + Monday

Two nice, relatively uneventful runs. Looking forward to a touch warmer weather (but not too much), which should hopefully be soon. On the plus side, I think in another week or so the need for bright/white shirts on Mon/Wed mornings will be retired since it’ll be light enough out.
