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.

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.

Oops! Forgot to add in this run. As it’s backdated I have no memory of this at all, save for deciding to skip my extra (6th) mile for some reason or another.

First run in my 40s; was hoping to have one more in my 30s but a combo of work and weather kept me grounded on Monday. Just me and Ben for a pleasant run, although we both admitted that we are getting burnt out on being all bundled up for winter. It’s spring, we’d like a good 10 degrees warmer in the mornings, please.

Another nice afternoon, so another run in Rock Creek instead of at the gym. I think I ate lunch a little too late today though (or it was something in particular) because my stomach felt a little queasy around mile 3. Took a minute walk break for miles 4 and 5 to help things settle and that did the trick, though.

Wednesday: Actually met Ben before my first (normally solo) mile for a hand-off of some stuff, and then ran with him to our normal meeting point where Steve was waiting. Ended up skipping my extra (often solo) mile at the end because my left thigh was a little sore from a very intense massage on Tuesday.

Saturday: Group run! Ben, John, and Stephanie were all there for a nice 8-mile in unseasonably warm (if slightly foggy) weather. Very pleasant.

Could have sworn I posted this already but I guess not. Anyway, fantastic run. Best in a very long time. Just me and Steve and even with some walk breaks I feel like we were moving at a nice clip but without much effort. More like that please.

Late start due to a Friday night concert that ran three hours (but go Bruce!). A little warmer than I’d have liked but not bad; part of it was my potential bicycle route to the WSC in Silver Spring, which worked easily.
