Here’s something I haven’t done in a while: run 2 miles by myself at the start of a Saturday run, then circled around to pick up the rest of the group. Ended up with 8 overall and I’m glad I had those starting miles because it allowed me to ditch the hat and gloves, neither of which were needed. It warmed up awfully fast (and today, that was a good thing).

Saturday’s run was originally scheduled for 12 miles, but I ended up going with just 8 since it’s been a while. John and Stephanie ran 4 on their own, and then John scooped me up for an 8-miler down the Mall and up Rock Creek. (Stephanie had to bail on the rest of the run due to lack of sleep, alas.) The run itself went fine (yay!) although the wind was killer. On the way back we ended up taking a slight detour to avoid running near the water. If we were kites we’d have been airborne in the blink of an eye…

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.

Good news: 8 miles! Highest mileage since the marathon in March (and my stress fracture).
Bad news: Really should’ve started a little earlier. It wasn’t necessarily boiling (only 75 degrees after all) but the sun was out and shining bright and I was sweating up a storm. Also forgot to put on Bodyglide. Ow ow ow. (At least I remembered the sunscreen.) Also took a walk break or two up some steep hills on the way back.
All things considered I’ll take it as a victory.

Oops, time to catch up… was in LA for a convention for the second half of last week, so ended up using the hotel treadmill twice. For Saturday’s run the plan was 8 miles, but I was getting bored with the treadmill and when I hit 6 miles (since the treadmill automatically shuts down at an hour) I figured, “Oh, good enough” and started the cooldown function. Then after about three minutes I thought, “Wait, I should really do the last two miles.” So I turned it off, ran two more, and called it a day. I never really trust a treadmill’s readings, but I was definitely working on my pace for that 8-miler.

Another zap of the Garmin dying back on Saturday, but Steve gave me the overall distance and time from his watch. On the bright side, it is now fixed (or appears to be); the new firmware is in place, and after a couple of recharge cycles it appears to be back to normal.

Swapped out for the new shoes today, and boy, they sure do feel instantly springier. Hopefully this’ll fix the knee problem from Thursday; it was still a little sore but it never got any worse and faded away with time. Fingers crossed!

Everyone was at the run this morning; first time in months and then some. Bizarre. Run itself went well; we stretched out a bit toward the end (nothing wrong with that) but in general enjoyed the nice crisp weather. Good to see some of our more wayward members once again!
Also, rapidly closing in on the 250-mile mark for new shoes. Wow, that didn’t take long.
