Following a great night of sleep, I headed out for a mid-morning run down to Mt. Vernon Place and back. I love running on the cobblestone streets surrounding the Washington Monument and just taking in the historical (statues of Lafayette, Peabody, and Tawny) and culture (Peabody Institute and Library) feel of the place. Also, it was neat to see the number of people heading to the polls on this mid-term Election Day. The total distance of the morning run was 7.2 miles at an easy/recovery pace (i.e., 10:47 minutes per mile).
In regards to my non-running workout, I was able to get in 300 sit-ups and 30 push-ups. |
