Just me and Steve this morning and we headed out for a big loop… which got cut a little short when it began to rain, and then pour on us. Ugh. Headed off to Clarendon for my post-weekday-run shower at the gym, and by then it had stopped, so I ran just under 2 more miles there to finish it out for the morning.

Biked home after work on Monday, and the fact that it had been 20 days since the previous time out on the bike (thanks to lots of ill-timed afternoon thunderstorms) meant that I paid the price Tuesday morning. My legs felt like lead the entire time and it was a struggle, but I kept going, so that’s a big victory.

Another crazy humid day, to the point that no one wanted to climb Capitol Hill. On the bright side, definitely was moving at a good pace (for me) despite the adverse weather.

Still warm but not quite as truly awful. So that’s an improvement, right?

Super, super humid this morning; by the time it was over, I was soaked to the bone. Bleah. That said, maybe we all just were desperate to get out of the humidity, but we moved at a nice clip.

The original plan was to swap out shoes this morning, but we’re having a lot of rain and storms this week. Decided not to trash the new shoes on their first week, so they’ll wait until next week, most likely.

Definitely was feeling the humidity today… uuugggghhhhhh. Also, time to swap out the shoes. Probably the first run in June will be just that.

It’s definitely getting a little toastier. Pushed hard though, and Steve and John followed suit.
