Aimless

Start time: 6/4/11, 6:30am
Location: SW Waterfront, National Mall, Georgetown, Cap Crescent
Distance: ~8 miles
Average pace: beats me
Total Miles For June: 13 miles
Total Miles For 2011: 320 miles

Ran with John, Stephanie, and Rich on Saturday morning; we did a last second change of location due to the Race for the Cure, so the planned route went out the window and we just winged one that headed up along the edge of the Mall, over to Georgetown and the Cap Crescent, and then on the way back went via Maine Avenue to get to the waterfront. Only GPS was my old crappy one and when it reported the first mile took 12 and a half minutes we knew it was up to its usual “not working very well” tricks. When we got back it said 8.12 miles but the reality was probably a bit more. Hopefully my regular one will be back in a week or so!

Sans GPS

Start time: 6/2/11, 5:50am
Location: National Mall
Distance: ~5 miles
Average pace: 9:35min/mile
Total Miles For June: 5 miles
Total Miles For 2011: 312 miles

Met the group this morning back at the old routine; run a mile by myself, then four more with them. Estimated my distance for the first (based on where the GPS normally beeps at me), then hit splits off of Steve’s watch for the other four, since my GPS has been having battery issues and is now getting fixed under its warranty. So times might be off a tiny bit. (Also the group elected for no walk break after mile 4, which is why they were a bit peppier than normal. I’m good with that!)
