Made an executive decision to take the day off of running. Went down to the hotel Gym and did some leg workouts and some core strength. Then sat in the hottub for 15 minutes, Not quite as invigurating as a nice hard run, but I think I needed the break. I decided this was worth logging, last night I went and met some friends for dinner up in Georgetown. I took a cab there and between going to the CVS to get some cash for the cab, waiting in line for the cab, and then the actual cab ride there it took me 45 minutes to go 3 miles. So after dinner I thought, I'm just going to run back to the hotel, so with my wallet in one pocket, iPhone in the other and some other various items I had bought from CVS so I could get cash for the cab I started running. It was quite an experience to actually run to go somewhere instead of running in place or one big circle. With traffic, tourists and other destractions I was still able to make the 3 mile trip in 22 minutes. 1/2 the time the cab took me. I think I will try this more often.
