Here I go again!

Paper, paper, paper

Lunchtime run to almost Fletcher's and back, hot but not that bad, sunny and beautiful, feeling great.  

Wasn't going to run till the evening but Ashley wanted to go at lunch - I can't say no to Ashley, she's too much fun to miss. It was very hot and I think she got really dehydrated... good run nevertheless, though we went by the White House and through some crowded streets...

Biked to the office this morning...

Probably will run to Will's house this evening...

I learned two new words/phrases today...

"What's your Achilles tendon?" = name your biggest weakness

"Boondogle" = the leather things the Boy Scouts wear around their necks - OR a wasteful project...

--------------

Ran to Chevy Chase circle in the evening, Will picked me up from there - it was HOT and HUMID and  HILLY and HORRIBLE ... the 4H! Felt pretty good...

From Will's place to the office in the morning. 4H! Legs feeling very tired... Average pace: 9:15 Man, that route seems hillier every time I do it! Or maybe it's the heat and humidity... My colleague Mike was coming back from his run as I was walking into the office. His training for Marine Corps is going well, I helped him modify a novice guide from Hal Gigdon to fit his schedule better, cause he's also a commuter biker and he has two young and active twin girls.  He asked me how to get more energy during long runs so I told him about the gu... he said this weekend he had 3 gu's during his 15 mile run... hmmm.... that seems a bit excessive to me but I don't think it can hurt him, right? 

Plan on biking to school after work and then home.

Happy running bloggers!

Biked to the office from home, worked all day non-stop, then worked on my final paper for the class which is ughhhhh soooo confusing! I always thought I was a numbers person, but this class (Microeconometrics) is proving I am not - I have a newly found respect for the Bonnies of the world... Biked home after work but no running.  Left heel hurts a lot more than it has in a long time (plantar fasciitis). Icing it all day. Planning on running on the (ugh) treadmill tomorrow night to see if it helps. Wish me luck with my final paper, I really need it...

Biked to the office in the morning, worked my butt off all day non-stop, finished my paper, sent it in, and thought about all my options... it was already 8 pm so running and then biking home was going to take a while... so I filled my big pack with my stuff and ran home. Boy was that pack heavy! I did 10 min-miles nevertheless, so I was pretty happy.  Weirdly enough the heel doesn't bug me that much when I run, it's mostly after - I think that's a common symptom of plantar... I'm going to look for new shoes next week, both my newest pairs have done a combined almost 800 miles and that doesn't count a lot of walking, biking, etc. I've done in them... Let's hope that helps.  I'm free from school for a couple of weeks, that feels really good.  Hopefully I'll pass the Microeconometrics class.  Next week I'm going to Colorado with Will to do a lot of biking in the Denver/Colorado Springs and Fort Collins area and visit some friends, I can't wait!

Have a great weekend everyone! 

Zero... lazy weekend - first weekend without school so you'd think I'd be motivated to run... nope... Hosted the girls to brunch with creme brulee french toast, delicious... walked with the girls to Eastern Market. Back home to prepare a frozen cheesecake to take to a pizza party but it didn't freeze in time, so I brought another ice cream instead... Went to a pizza party that turned out to be an engagement party for a friend, it was really cute.
