It’s amazing what a difference the humidity dropping makes. So, so, so much nicer.

In between Saturday and Monday’s run, I’d biked 22 miles on Sunday; not a huge amount, but the most I’ve done in about a year or so. Was definitely feeling it today. Humidity thick enough to have to drill tunnels through, probably not helping.

Ran the first four miles by myself—down to the Waterfront and then briefly into Hains Point before turning around—and had a nice time listening to part of This American Life from two weeks ago. Also stayed at a pretty consistent pace, which was good. Picked up John (back from a doctor-enforced “no excercise” time period of three weeks) and Ben, and ran 6 more with them. The gentle breeze and low humidity made it a winner.

Monday’s run got scratched due to torrential downpours… well, it wasn’t raining this morning but the humidity sure felt like it. Yay summer.

Well, we meant to run 8 miles this morning… but our route went a little awry and we ended up with a 9-miler. Which was fine by me! 🙂

Definitely feeling a little better than Monday, so that’s a relief. Other than that, an unremarkable run. Skipped the extra mile at the end because I thought I had spin class, but a combination of events (and being responsible, ho hum) means not so much. Ah well!

It was pouring rain before I left the house this morning, but Steve promised Ben and I that down on the Mall it was just a drizzle… which was (more or less) true, thankfully. Still was a little soaked by the end of 5 miles, and I’m still in “body adjusting to humidity and allergies” mode, which means that I’m dragging a great deal. Decided not to add on the extra mile at the end and declared it a slow victory.

After last Saturday’s bad run, I ended up skipping Monday’s… and then ended up needing to skip Wednesday’s too due to a hamstring issue that I think came from all of the hauling of stuff up and down the stairs on Monday. But we got back out there this morning; first really warm ‘n’ humid run that I’ve had all year. Definitely was dragging a bit between that and no exercise for a week. But back on the wagon, now!

Wasn’t feeling well Sunday night/Monday morning (aches and a fever) so I bagged that run. Tackled today’s but I was dragging the whole way through; decided to skip one of my extra two miles and called it a day.
