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.

Crazy hot and humid for a run that started before 6am. Supposedly this is the last day with temperatures up in the 90s for a while (and possibly for the rest of the year). I’m fine with that.

I missed Wednesday’s run due to some sleep (or lack thereof) issues, so when a Friday run was offered up (especially since I would be out of town this weekend) I jumped at the chance. But boy was it humid, to the point that I wished I’d worn something a little lighter. Oof. One of my less elegant runs but it got the job done.
