I ran in the morning with the groom. At first he told me that he runs at 8 minute pace and I was a little scared. But then as we got going, I realized that he meant that he races at 8 minute pace. We had a good conversation about running and stuff (he does triathlons and 1/2 marathons. His best 1/2 marathon is just a little slower than my best). When we finished 2 miles, he informed me that this was his first run in about 2 months, since he broke his toe at his bachelor party (he was kicking one of the other groomsmen and got his toe stuck in the guy's cargo shorts). He felt like he needed to sweat off some of the hangover from the night before. I think I was killing him. We walked a bit before turning around and heading home. So we covered more distance, but only 4.1 running. We ran along the C & O canal. It was pretty, but it was also pretty muggy.
