With the 20-miler on Sunday, our normal Thursday tempo run was replaced on the schedule with a 3-mile “EZ” run. Yeah, I can do that just fine. I plotted out a long elaborate route through my neighborhood (a truncated version of my “Clarendon-to-Rosslyn” path up and down Clarendon and Wilson Boulevards), then decided this morning I just didn’t feel like dodging traffic and stuck to Arlington Boulevard instead. A nice run, and even better, the slowest mile was the first one. I can deal with that.
