Black Sheep workout from Popperton Park (Virginia St. and 11th Ave.). After .75 warmup, we ran 1min on/1 min off from the Fire Station to the Capitol. Then easy down into Memory Grove and over to the stairs at 4th Ave and A St. From there, we started the traditional "up and over" from 4th Ave and C St. up to 11th Ave. and L street. Easy on the flat, hard on the hills. It never fails to kill me. I wish I could say the same for Casey, who was flying up those hills, leaving Josh and I in the dust. Ran 2 mi cooldown at the end. Drove to Steiner after the run and swam 500m. ALSO, I'm thinking of hosting a little gathering for bloggers and friends at my house after the Des News 10k if I can rally some support for that. Nick will be in town and it might be fun to get a few folks together for a bite and a chat. It's just a concept at the moment, but I hope it will work. If others read this, let me know if you're interested. We live just about 2 miles from both the start and finish of the race, so it should be pretty convenient.
