I partially tore my left peroneus longus - a tendon on the side of the foot - on February 21, which will result in 3-12 weeks in a walking boot. No Boston Marathon....

Potomac Valley RR race on Hains Point with the GRC crew - PMurph, Dusen, Charlie, Wiggy, Sam, and Outlaw. The wind was crazy - gusts around 45mph, white caps on the Potomac coming up over the sidewalk. We did a very windy warmup loop. I went out on pace, although I don't know what that pace was because I wasn't wearing a watch. Right after the mile mark there was a turn around the tip of Hains Point whereupon I hit a wall of wind. The next half mile was brutal until the turnaround, which was followed by a half mile with the wind at my back. The course was an out, back, out, back, so I went back the same way I came. This guy in an orange singlet tried to catch up to me during the first windy section, but died after the turnaround. He came back and caught me just as we were heading into the windy section the second time, so I let him go by and drafted off of him. I felt kind of bad, since it was a small race, so I offered to share the wind breaking with him. He took m e up on my offer for a moment, then took over again, which I was happy to let him do. We caught up to t-shirt kid just as we hit the final turnaround, then t-shirt kid and I dropped orange singlet guy and duked it out for about a mile before t-shirt kid started falling off the pace. Charlie was there to pull me in for about half a mile leading up to the finish, which was immensely helpful at the end of a long, hard, windy race.
Cooled down to the Jefferson Memorial and back. Ended up winning a cherry pie for being 3rd in my age group. 7th place overall.

Comments many uphill striders followed by a 2 mile downhill stretch at 10k pace. felt good on the downhill. was originally going to do 5x800m uphill reps, but had some stomach cramps so i scratched that plan in favor of a longer run. the cramps came and went, so i picked it up in between then for a fartlek run. not sure what they were, but it might have been because i was hungry.

Comments THUNDERSNOW!
Why isn't thundersnow an option for weather on RP? This is the first time I've witnessed it, and it's AWESOME! Most of the sidewalks were slush, but nothing I haven't run in in Rochester. The best part of this run was helping push DC drivers who got themselves stuck - somehow - in 2 inches of snow. One lady even asked me to un-stick her $100k sportscar, which was so hopelessly stuck by that point that the best I could do was back it up onto the sidewalk and let the police deal with it, and that was with three people pushing.
Eventful run, needless to say.
