I met with HUGE after work and ran through RCP to Walter Reed and back down 16th Street. We maintained a pretty tough pace, and pressed up the hill out of the park. Good quality run.

13 miles, moderate/hard

Today I took advantage of a day 0ff from work and the cooler temperatures to make up for my long run workout debacle on Saturday. I ran through RCP up the western ridge to The Line and back with a pick-up on the Ross Drive hill and two ten-minute tempos near the end of the run. It wasn't a terribly long or hard run, but it was definitely one of the best quality runs I've had in a while.
Once I got home I hopped in the car and drove to Binghamton for my dad's surprise retirement party. It was a great party and nice to see how many people truly respected him. Great to see the family too.

It was a GORGEOUS morning in DC. The heat and humidity was finally tempered and the effect on my running was palpable. I met with HUGE for a morning run through RCP-Dumbarton Oaks-AG-Canal.

I had planned to run with Dan in the morning, but got a late start and missed him. I ran on my own from The Watergate down to the 14th St Bridge, back up on the Mt. Vernon Trail, did a lap of TR Island, and back via the Key Bridge. It was a good run, but it got very hot... I can't take this much longer.

After watching the USA fall to Ghana in the World Cup on Saturday afternoon, I went home and went to bed.; I felt exhausted and sick. No running on Sunday... just recovery.

This was supposed to be the first big workout for Chicago... but was probably one of the low points of my training this year. On paper I did all the right things to prepare for the run: I hydrated, went to bed early, and helped persuade the guy to start at 8. What I wasn't prepared for was the mild-food poisioning from my under-cooked burger the night before.
We met at Edward's Ferry planning to run Duel(ing) Ferries with a pickup towards the end of the run. I knew I wasn't up for the full 20 miles, but I planned to run about 16 with four hard miles near the end. By the time we were running through Kansas at mile 6 we were already running pretty hard, and my stomach was churning. I stopped eventually and shuffled back to Edward's Ferry with Dwyer. I hoped to just run 14 miles without the workout, but as the group began the second lap I was quickly dropped behind. I made it a mile out on the trail, and walked back. Between the heat, my stomach, and my weak knee, this was an awful run.
