It was much, much cooler on Thursday, to the point that I wore a long-sleeved shirt with my shorts. Skipped Capitol Hill this time because I was feeling having biked 20 miles home from the office the day before. (I’ve been neglecting my cycling, so this is an attempt to start adding it back in. Normally a 20-miler wouldn’t make me bat an eye.) Another pleasant run.

It was a pretty warm morning but Ben and I pushed through it fairly well. On the plus side, that means the eye candy is often wearing distinctly less clothing, ha ha.

Another super-humid run; fortunately a lot of that’s supposed to go away for a bit. On the bright side, we finally had our first weekday morning shirtless runner spotting; we were starting to wonder why we hadn’t had one yet.

Missed Tuesday’s run due to allergies giving me a sinus infection (uuuuggghhhh) but the time off (and the antibiotics) seem to have done the trick. Very nice run this morning with Ben.

All sorts of anniversaries today. My shoes hit 300 miles, my relationship w/ Charlie hit 8 years, and somewhere around this date 14 years ago I went on my first non-school-mandated run. Woohoo!

Ran around the Capitol today as part of the run, but didn’t see any new gyrocopters, alas. Also ordered some new shoes. (But not while running.)

It was supposed to rain this morning… but aside from a sprinkle before I got out there, nicely managed to dodge it. Hurrah! That said, since it was also 57 degrees, rain is no longer automatically a run-killer like it was a earlier this year…
