A little warmer than one would expect for an October morning, but at the same time I’m not complaining if it’s a t-shirt and shorts run when you’re starting before sunrise.

Super-cool out this morning. Definitely fall weather, to the point that I had a tank top underneath the long-sleeved shirt in order to keep my core warm.

Skipped Wednesday’s run on account of needing sleep and the Monday morning issues. Decided I’d run on Thursday, but in the back of my head was the worry about needing to not stray too far from the car. Ended up making bad selections on running clothes — a little colder and damper than I’d planned for — so scratched the outside run and regretfully continued on to the gym. Managed five miles on the hated treadmill before I had to call it quits on account of overheating.

Running 10 miles yesterday meant that my legs were a little leaden this morning. Also something I ate didn’t agree with me so well. Had to take a little break in the middle of the run and also cut it a bit short, but all things considered I’m pretty pleased I got 6 miles in.

Avoiding East Potomac Park and that area of the Mall due to a concert, so we hoofed it down to RFK and back via the Anacostia Riverwalk. Isolated but still pretty nice. (Also considering between Sunday and the previous Monday’s run I came down with a cold, getting in 10 miles was a huge victory.)

Ben asked for one more Lincoln Memorial sunrise attempt. Sadly it wasn’t quite as glorious as last week, but not bad overall either.

It’d been ages since we just ran up the Cap Crescent Trail and back; what used to be the old standard had become the exception! Lots of “marathon panic” runners out there, all trying to make up the training distance they’d skipped over the summer…

Back to short sleeves today, but still, lovely weather. I do love autumn running, and we’re just on the edges of that now.

It was super cool, the most so since back in May. I ended up breaking out the long-sleeved shirt (still wore shorts though); no complaints here.

A nice 10 miler (despite a tiny bit of drizzle), and we got to look in on a bit of the setup for Nations Tri (the next morning) as we came back over the 14th St Bridge and up Ohio Drive through West Potomac Park. Now that school’s over, I’d like to eventually add in more biking and swimming and tackle another tri.
