Well, that was that; the final pre-race maintenance run. (I was originally planning on knocking out a 3-miler on Friday morning but now it just doesn’t look like it’s going to happen.) Mark and I talked about “guy stuff” for a while, and it was nice to get that last run in with him and just be able to chat about this and that. I’m going to miss our Mon/Wed running sessions together; with Mark’s upcoming scheduled for Hexagon and everything else it just won’t be happening for quite some time. Once Julie’s toe is completely healed I’ll see if I can still drag her out onto the W&OD after work since I know that having someone else with which to run makes a huge difference. Otherwise I’ll be hoofing it up and down Arlington, which is good in its own right but having a running partner makes a huge difference.
