Back to the weekday runs, hurrah! Steve was having some calf muscle issues so he had to drop out, but Ben ran 4 with me on Mon and 3 on Wed. All in all, a good run.

For the first time in ages, the entire group (me, Armand, Ben, Jerry, John, Stephanie, Steve) were all present for a run. Crazy talk! Our original 14th St Bridge/Mt. Vernon Trail/Memorial Bridge route got detoured thanks to the Avon Breast Cancer Walk, but it all worked out in the end.

Had a fantastic run with Armand and Jerry on Saturday. It started a little windy but by the turnaround point on the Cap Crescent, I was pulling off the jacket and tying it around my waist. No complaints whatsoever.

Two nice, relatively uneventful runs. Looking forward to a touch warmer weather (but not too much), which should hopefully be soon. On the plus side, I think in another week or so the need for bright/white shirts on Mon/Wed mornings will be retired since it’ll be light enough out.

We started a little late this morning; we normally park on the National Mall but it was closed off due to Cherry Blossom Parade floats. (Oops.) We eventually all re-convened down at our old spot in the SW Waterfront, and had a request to run through Hains Point and see the cherry blossoms there. Well, as it turns out, even at 7am it’s a little chaotic there. Ah well. It was still a nice run once we dodged all the tourists!

Had a nice surprise on Wednesday morning; John (who normally only comes on weekends these days) was there for a weekday run. Just like old times!
