Missed Monday’s run due to sleep issues + pouring freezing rain. Finally (somewhat) made it up today with 4 miles on the indoor track, right before spin class. Hoping to still get a run in tomorrow and be back on track, work willing…

Had some awful stomach issues this week, so Tuesday ran just 4 miles to make sure everything was ok. (It was, phew.) Thursday went back up to the normal distance, also with no issues. Am now on Prilosec that should hopefully let everything heal back up.

Finished up November and the start of December with some more treadmill work (ugh), although this time with other cardio (rowing & stationary bike) mixed in, too. And then, finally, members of the group all got back in town and/or better. Phew.

Between work and grad school and a lack of company, running has been few and far between this month it seems. But I managed to knock out a few miles on the (ugh) hotel treadmill.

Well, after running the Veteran’s Day 10K with a cold, I definitely paid for it. A week of being fairly sick, bleah. Finally was starting to feel up to a little running by the weekend, so on Saturday I went to the gym and after using the rowing machine for half an hour, ran 2 miles on the treadmill with no real problems.
Got abandoned this morning, but used that to my advantage to run w/ Charlie after work in the gorgeous weather. A bit of huffing and puffing but overall not too bad.

Since my last run, I went up to Maine, biked around Acadia National Park, came home, got an awful case of food poisoning, and slowly recovered. Attempted to run 6 miles, but only managed 4 before my insides said, “That’s enough for today.” Did about 20 minutes on the stationary bike (less jostling) to try and at least have some more activity. It’s a start.

Saturday, 4/27: Nice jaunt over the bridge to Mt. Vernon Trail, then all the way up to Key Bridge and heading back via Rock Creek. The inevitable “we’re running down M Street faster than you can normally drive it” jokes were made.
Monday, 4/29: Wet and rainy and miserable, so much that there was a unanimous “I’m fine with cutting this run short” decision made by all three of us.
Wednesday, 5/1: Steve and I were clearly feeling a little zippy after Monday’s shortened run.
Friday, 5/3: Went to the gym before heading out of town and as part of the workout picked up three on the (ugh) treadmill.
Sunday, 5/5: Steve ended up having to miss Saturday’s run so we picked up a 9.5 miler together, which worked out really well. Had to adjust a few times to avoid the Race for Hope 5K course but that was part of the fun, just making up the route as we ran.
Phew!

Skipped Monday’s run due to a combination of DST grogginess and (more importantly) getting a lungfull of dust on Sunday afternoon, which I’m highly allergic to. Spent the rest of Sunday and a lot of Monday kind of sick.
Anyway, could’ve knocked out 6 today but I’ve got a Saturday race so decided to take it a little easy. Just me and Steve this morning, and it was a good solid run.

After missing Monday’s run (“Feels like 16 degrees” from weather.com is apparently my limit for what I am willing to put myself through), and with snow on the horizon for tomorrow morning, I figured I needed to knock off a few miles at the hated gym treadmill after work today. But then something crazy happened… it got up to 50 degrees. And I couldn’t let that go to waste.
So, I mapped out a 4-mile route, changed into my gym clothes, used my “emergency jacket” as well since it wasn’t quite warm enough for just a short-sleeve shirt, drove halfway home and parked in Rock Creek Park at the parking lot right by Beach Drive and Blagden Rd, and then ran and used the time on my This American Life podcast as a stopwatch. Worked pretty well! By the time I was done it was starting to get a little dark, or I might’ve thrown on two more for good measure. But four is better than zero! And since this might have to hold me over until Saturday, that’s a victory.

Thought about adding on two more miles today, but then remembered I had spin class tonight. 4 was more than enough for now. I’ve still got 12 for Saturday after all.
