Six easy miles down East Capitol, to the Mall and back up. Another beautiful, cloudy day. Trees are gorgeous and I felt great - hamstrings a bit tight. |

I know I shouldn't have ran two days in a row... but it's so nice out, and my co-worker wanted to go, so I couldn't say no. Felt great, went at good pace, out on the Rosslyn bridge and back on the Memorial Bridge. I brought my scissors this time!!!
Did my very first spin class ever after work - 45 minutes, it was so hard, I thought I was going to faint like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=we9_CdNPuJg |

A rainy yet lovely DC evening - ran in the dark along the C&O canal towpath... forgot my scissors... not smart - and not smart to run in the dark on my condition either, but hey, Wall-e is not running for me anymore so I had to get out there! Felt good - went slow for the first 4 miles, picked up the pace on mile 4 and slowed down the last one.
When I was changing into my running clothes I found something I hadn't seen in a very very long time: MY ABBS!!! I actually have abdominal muscles, I thought they were gone but they were just hiding behind layers and layers of fat! :)
Very happy to live in a country where elections can go smoothly and people's votes count! I voted for the first time in the U.S. today. It was very exciting, though I had to wait in line for 2 hours...
Do you realize how many people in the world don't have that? Whether you're a Republican or a Democrat, living in democracy is a gift - don't take it for granted! |

Six very slow and sluggish miles on the C&O Canal at lunch. It is absolutely gorgeous out. Weather is perfect. Cloudy, colorful, just precious. Yet I felt very sluggish... I managed to pick up the pace for miles 4 and 5, barely keeping 8-minute miles. I don't expect to hit a PR on Sunday's Veteran's Day 10k, sadly... but there's the Jingle all the way 10k a day after my birthday (December 14) and we will see what a 31-year old Argentine girl can do then!
Morning weight: 137 lbs.
Wearing a pair of black pants that I was never able to fit into before. |

| Six GLORIOUS miles along the National Mall, by the Potomac river, all the monuments, and up the Old Post Office Pavillion to pick up my race packet to Sunday's Veteran's Day 10k. Running on shorts and a tank top and feeling super hot - it is summer again down here! I was thinking of poor Marion and others in Utah running in the snow already... though I do like running in cold weather... Team Roadbuilders only has 3 memeber for Sunday, unfortunately I couldn't get any of my co-workers to run the race. Lazy bums... I'm not sure how much my closed mouth is going to affect my speed - I can feel that I don't intake oxygen as easily with my mouth closed, plus this morning I had a bit of a congested nose... if it's not too cold, I should be OK breathing mostly through my nose. My friends Brian and Jenny are going to be running with me - Brian is fast but wants to stay with me and carry my scissors - so he will be my Scissor Boy! Jenny is a bit slower than us, but maybe since I'm running injured she'll be able to keep up with us. Jenny is thinking of running the Myrtle Beach marathon with me, since it's on her birthday. It will be awesome! Did I mention how much I love my running friends??? Wish me luck on Sunday and happy running! |

| No running today, went for a walk with my friend Ed and his daughter Shana by Eastern Market. Now I have to clean up the house and pick up all the fallen leaves outside. Fall in DC is simply glorious - except when you have to pick up the leaves from the floor... ughhh... |
