A.M. DC loop this morning. Hit the first 5 miles in a calm overcast. But right as I hit 5 miles is started to rain and I got soaked by the time I was home. But other than that I felt better than the rest of the week and had a good run. I'll try another tonight and maybe hit some faster miles.
P.M. Finally got a decent workout in... in a long time. Warmed up over around Stone Cliff and over River Road to where there is a port-a-potty by the trail. Thankfully took care of business there and then started into a tempo. The warm up was 5 miles long. Temp was 5 miles long. Down the river trail across the bridge, then over through B-hills past the golf course to were it intersects with River Road again. From there I did a 2.6 mile cool down back around the park and home. Tempo went well. I wanted to hit marathon pace for the 5 miles and not die too bad on the hills through B-hills. Splits were 5:40, 5:36, 5:50, 5:37, 5:50 for an 5:42 avg on the tempo. Hit a 6:24 avg for the entire run. Glad to get the legs and body going and finish off the week semi strong.
