“Sorry I’m poking along today,” Julie said around the end of mile 3, “but between diminished lung capacity* and just being lazy, this is about all I can do.”
Personally, I was content to be “poking along” today; the weather in the DC area this past weekend was fairly fantastic, and while I’d have normally waited until Tuesday after a Sunday race, knowing the temperature’s going to drop about 30 or 40 degrees tonight meant that one last “gorgeous running weather” day was in order. We clearly weren’t the only ones who felt that way; after a winter of mostly desolation and some die-hard runners, the trail was full today with both cyclists and runners. Quite a few attractive ones, too—an added bonus!
So, not terribly fast but I was perfectly content to enjoy the beautiful afternoon/evening and just take it easy.
* — Someone forgot their allergy medicine today.
It was gorgeous yesterday. I’m keeping the bike in the car and gear on standby for more impromptu biking expeditions.
and just being lazy, this is about all I can do.
yeah, but she decided to run, put on her shoes, lace out on her shoes and run 4 miles… runners are so silly.
