Jan. 15th

Workout at the Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School

2k/1k x 3 with 400m rest at 10k/5k pace

This was my first legitimate workout since ECACs in May, so it was pretty rough. I didn't think it would be as bad as it was, but it happens. I didn't have my watch on me, so I only know that my first 2k was about a 6:30, and the rest were most definitely slower. All I can say is that it hurt, and that I have a long way to go to get in shape for Cherry Blossom in 82 days.

Jan. 14th

AM run with Patrick M. and Max. Ran into RCP, but turned around early because I had to go to work early. Just shy of an hour, so 8 miles total. 'Cuse v. Georgetown tonight.

Jan. 13th

Met up with Max in the AM. Ended up running a Georgetown loop from 16th and Newton. It was 10 miles overall (1:14), because I just ran back to my place instead of going up to 16th and back.

We ran through the Mall, which is already full of port-a-loos. Apparently they are going to have 5,000 of them on hand, which will service 1.5 million people. Hopefully the crowd doesn't reach 4 million, as some have said.

Jan. 5th - 8 miles easy (First day at United Nations Foundation)

Jan. 12th - First Columbia Heights AM Crew run: 9.5 miles (1:11) in RCP with Max and Patrick M.

Jan. 4th

10 mile Georgetown loop. Quads are pretty sore from yesterday's run. I might have run a tad too quickly yesterday. No matter, though. It's good for me.

Jan. 3rd

16 miler. Ms. Sharon loop. It's amazing outside today. 40 and sunny. Ran in shorts and got on some trails. Ran it pretty quickly, too. Probably averaged sub-7, but I didn't clock it.

Jan. 2nd

7 miles easy. Had a bit of a headache when I started, but that cleared up. I've been sleeping a lot. I slept 7 hours NYE night, then slept from 1p-8p yesterday, then from 12a to 11a last night. Still sleepy, too, for some reason.

Jan. 1st

2 miles slow. pretty hungover from last night.
