Ok, so since Monday’s run, I got a bunch of workouts in. Tuesday was an hour of rowing and elliptical, Wednesday was spinning class, Friday was a mile of lap swimming. Of course, the one I missed was Thursday’s run (due to work). Ah well.

Anyway, it was just me, Jim, and Michael today, so we started from their house in Rosslyn, took Custis Trail to Mount Vernon Trail, and then ran over the 14th Street Bridge and up West Potomac Park until we got to Memorial Bridge. Then it was back over the bridge, down onto the Mount Vernon Trail, and back home.

First seven miles were fine, but I started feeling like crap during that seventh one and ended up letting them pull off ahead while I slowed down a bit. Even with the extra walk breaks I was only about a minute slower than before, so I’ll take that as a mild victory, at least.
