11/4: Part of the Mall was already closed off for the follow week’s Veterans Day concert, so the run was a tiny bit shorter than normal due to the need to find new parking. Made an executive decision to avoid the Mall on Thursday and the following Tuesday.

11/8: Dragged a little at the end, but otherwise a nice jaunt through the Zoo.

Almost time for new shoes. Also tried out a new long sleeve running shirt that shows sweat in about 45 seconds flat, as it turns out. Good for layering but definitely not on its own in the future.

Wow, this was one windy morning. After Saturday’s Foxhell run, I’ve decided I need some more hills in my running diet, even if they’re small. So today we hoofed it up and over Capitol Hill. Not a huge hill by any stretch of the imagination, but it’s a good start (and a good addition to the weekday runs).

Ran with Ben this morning; it was wonderfully cool after this weekend’s warmer, summer-like temperatures. A nice way to start out the week… well, except for the part where I swallowed a gnat. Bleah.

Had a late Sunday night, so decided to get a little extra sleep and run by myself this morning. I essentially extended the run from Friday with a few extra miles in the middle, and it was nice to see the pace stay more or less the same. Considering I was struggling a bit on Friday, having 3.1 more miles with only two more seconds per mile is a good thing. (And I definitely moved up the Carroll Hill climb out of Sligo a lot faster today than I did on Friday!)

We had some special guest stars this morning; Michael was in town for a meeting and came out to run with us, and for the occasion John got up early and joined us as well. Hurrah! It was nice to have so much of the group together today. The run moved at a nice brisk pace, too, even with the thick humidity. Were it always that inspiring…

Added in a run up Capitol Hill on Monday, which was a good thing; I need to map out a route for my starting miles that includes that, I think. I could use the climb.
