Comments Zoo loop with the GRC crew. Started snowing as soon as we started, and as we finished there was already an inch of snow on the ground. There was a truck that ran into and knocked over the fire hydrant on 34th next to the store and a woman crying because her jeep went up onto the sidewalk. They just can't handle their snow down here.

Distance 6.00 mi
Comments Biked a little longer than I normally do, since I went to the grocery store to buy beer for the State of the Union, in addition to riding to work, which I normally do. I've often thought about logging my bike commute, which is 2.5 miles a day, but have decided that it's not really "exercise," so much as transportation. If I get any physical benefits from it, that's cool, but that's not the point.

Comments Pretty good run after work. Ran up Massachusetts to AU, then down to Georgetown and back along the Potomac to the Mall then back up 14th. The Potomac was really high and muddy, and was running just about as fast as I was running. Must be from the rain yesterday. Stopped at the volleyball courts for a second, then stepped up the pace a bit.

Comments Good run with the GRC crew from the store. Ernst loop out the Cap Crescent past American University. Quick on the trails on the way back to Georgetown. Trails were a little muddy, but not too bad. I got pretty warm on the run because I was overdressed. Ended up being very nice weather. Post-run GRC 8k planning meeting at Dean & Deluca.

Felt pretty good, although my right Achilles was a little tender. A little sore from the race, but not too bad. Very nice day today; I ran in a t-shirt and shorts.

Comments Good little race to hop in. The Lusticle is in town, so I wanted to find a decent race in the ares. This was a no frills out and back on the Capitol Crescent trail. The competition was pretty good for a small race (about 150 in the 20k). Joe and I went out with the lead pack for the first 5 miles or so, then the leaders began to put a significant gap on us. At the turnaround (slightly more than 10k) I was in 5th place, about 10m behind Joe and someone in a red singlet. Almost immediately after the turnaround Joe pulled up with a knee issue. He slowed to stretch it out while I went ahead. I kept my eyes locked on the guy with the red singlet, but he was a strong dude. He had me by about 50m at the 8 mile mark and only increased that lead. Luckily just as I was losing the red singlet guy, Joe pulled up and we ran together for the last 5k. We closed sub-17 minutes. Splits:

1 - 5:36
2 - 5:36
3 - 5:36
4 - 5:42
5 - 5:40
6 - ? (10k was sub-36)
7 - ?
8 - 5:38
9 - 5:36
10 - 5:35
11 - 5:30
12 - 5:32

I negative split, which was a little surprising to me. There is a slight grade going out on the course, and a slight downhill coming back, but the emphasis is on slight. Even so, I'm in better shape than I thought. I ended up tied with Joe for 4th place. Colin Fishwick was second, and Matt Straughn was 6th or 7th.

Ran on the treadmill during my lunch break at work. I felt pretty good, so I decided to pick it up and get a little tempo work in. Rest in between was at 6:40 pace, as was the warmup. Cooldown was 7:30 pace or somewhere around there. Heartrate for the first mile was 169 and 173 for the second mile, according to the hand sensors on the treadmill.
