Oh Foxhall Rd, how I hate your 400 foot climb over the course of two miles… so very, very much… I truly do hate you.

On the plus side: special guest star in the form of John’s brother Jamie, who gamely ran 11 miles with us despite not having more than a few under his belt.

Really humid and hot this morning; cut the run a mile short. (I also had spin class in the evening so, no guilt.)

In the “first world problems” category, I wore a slightly-too-heavy-weight running t-shirt this morning. Totally drenched by the end. I think it’ll be temporarily retired until the fall.

Funny how 87% humidity can make me run exactly one minute per mile slower a day later… 🙂

Was supposed to run with a friend today, but he wasn’t able to make it at the last minute due to some unforseen circumstances. Ended up being just me and a Savage Love podcast, but that went just fine.

Forgot to add this entry due to houseguests arriving… a run up and down the Mall, plus up and over Capitol Hill and past the Supreme Court on the day of the Prop 8/DOMA decision. 🙂

Nice 12 miler, although the humidity is starting to return. Ran the first mile with Steve, at which point we picked up Ben and John and headed up and through the Zoo and then back down Connecticut. They veered off near the end (they were only running 10 total) and Steve and I had a nice strong finish at 12.
