Comments Birthday run - 26 miles on my 26th birthday. I had to get to work early for a meeting, so I had to wake up at 3am to get going. I knew I wasn't in shape to do this very quickly, so I made sure to budget about 4 hours. I started out by running up into Maryland, then back down into Georgetown, across the Key Bridge into Virginia then ran along the bike path, then back into DC on the 14th street bridge. I looped around the Capitol and then up into Columbia Heights, then home. My IT band started bothering me around mile 8-9, and I thought about turning in early, but it wasn't getting any worse so I kept going. I'm writing this a few days after the run, and thankfully all seems well.
I snapped this photo around 5:30am while I was in Virginia as the sun was rising.

Comments Working my way back up the distance ladder. Felt fine, and I even pushed the pace a little through the middle miles. I was kind of surprised at how many trees are still down on sidewalks/roads.

Comments A little over 4 miles today through DC. A crazy wind storm (pictures here) last night (70+ mph winds) took down a bunch of trees and limbs, although the trails I ran on in Rock Creek Park were surprisingly clear. It's also incredibly hot and humid. The high reached 104 yesterday and is supposed to hit 100 today.
A message from DC's electric utility about the storm:
"Friday night’s violent windstorm that ripped through the Washington area has devastated the Pepco electric system, leaving more than 443,000 of Pepco’s 788,000 customers without power. Winds in excess of 70 miles per hour uprooted trees and blew down limbs, which brought down numerous power lines and broke crossarms and poles."

Comments Easy run after taking a month off after running only part of the Boston Marathon. I'm finished with my first semester of grad school now, so hopefully I'll have more time to run. I didn't realize how much time it was going to take to work full time on top of grad school. Right now I have no races on the schedule until Boston next year, so I'm just going to have fun and slowly get back into a routine. Hopefully this time I can actually plan out a smart training plan for Boston and stick to it, although I don't need to think about that for a few more months.

Comments Decided to defer my race entry to next year. Race day temps got up into the high 80s (the forecast was 89, but I don't know if it got up quite that high or not). Instead of racing, which would have been a bad idea under ideal conditions considering my lack of training, I ran with Jarrin from mile 8 through mile 24. The heat was taking its toll on everyone in the race, and Jarrin was one of 3 GRCers to finish the entire race (Jarrin, Bain, and Lavar). Everyone else decided to either defer or cut the race short and focus on other spring races. I'm glad I hopped in to preview the course, and I'm especially glad I was there to be able to help out Jarrin by grabbing him ice, gatorade, etc.
Next year... third time's the charm.

Comments Great run with Towpath after work. We met at 17th and M and ran up into Rock Creek Park past the Capitol Ruins, then I ran back to the office to add on a little bit, then home. Good pace, no IT band issues during the run, although it tightened up a lot while I was trying to go to bed. Ice and foam roller.

Comments marathon pace hill workout. ran up, down, then back up massachusetts ave hill, then down the other side, up to AU, then down into Georgetown. the marathon pace portion was about 8 miles, and the rest was relatively easy. The elevation gain was roughly 360 feet up and down on mass ave - roughly 820 feet total uphill and about the same downhill.

Comments Despite my knee pain I jumped in this 10k - two loops up a mountain and back down it. I did one loop, but I could feel my knee tightening up around the 1 mile mark, so I dropped out of the race halfway through. I was in about 30th place or so at that point - the race had some incredibly fast people in it. The winner was in the 28:30 range, despite the huge mountain we were running up. That's easily worth mid-27s on a track, probably faster.
It was fun to run a race in another country. Apparently most of the races in Chile are free - the races are paid for by the government as a public health initiative and a sponsorship from a pension fund (Caja 18).
