This morning: 6:30am (so really 3:30am!), hauled myself out of bed against my wishes and to the hotel gym for 3 minutes walking on the TM (while waiting) and then 35 minutes on the elliptical. Dripping sweat by the end. After a long day had a great opportunity to go for a run in the lovely random 80 degree day so grabbed it - 47 minutes on the Potomac trail down to the monuments and back, we'll call it 5 miles. The headwind was so strong on the way down, I would go into a tunnel where the wind was suppressed and coming out was like stepping off of those moving walkways - flung back by a wall of wind! On the way back I tempo-d it, 15 minutes of hard running on the way back (with the tailwind!). Lovely dinner with my new travel-mates, now some work and bed, I am exhausted (they went to the bar again after, ahh to be young again! :-)
