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!

Finally! The sidewalks are now clear enough that running outside is a-ok. Maybe it could stay that way for at least a little while? Please? Pretty please?

Just me and Steve this morning, and since both of us had late-night plans we scheduled the run for 8am. A little more crowded than normal as a result, but with a beautiful 60 degree day, it was a great time to just catch up and give motivation where needed.

Wet and dreary run this morning; Stephanie was tackling an 18-miler so Ben and I joined her for the last portion. Rained on us periodically. We also ignored all the barracades (due to the shutdown) and ran in East Potomac Park and along the National Mall. Rebels!

Another steamy run, this time with John and Stephanie. Very good company and a good run in general, but I’m looking forward to this heat wave finally breaking.
