It was a weekend out running around the city. Saturday started with a lovely 6:30a, 10 mile jaunt into Georgetown. Nothing like having to go into work on a Saturday forcing you to hit the road before dawn. John, in some moment of weakness or extreme stupidity, agreed to run with me in the wee hours of the morning. Aside from the 98% humidity it was a good morning to get out.
Sunday was spent chasing Sondra Pires around the Marine Corps Marathon. In an attempt to run Hains Point with her, I headed to the Tidal Basin. I managed to see some guy dressed as the devil, another guy in a mohawk and kilt and a third dressed a Flash Gordon. I also managed to miss Sondra. I went to the other side of Hains Point to continue my search....no luck. I then crossed the Mall and found her around the Washington Monument. I ran with her along the north side of the Mall and then in from of the Capitol. I broke off at the Botanical Gardens [to tell the truth, I couldn't keep up anymore...she was owning that race]. I came back to get my morning coffee and put my old legs up. Lots of training to go...nicely done Sonj!!!

Columbus Day Short Run
Garmin Connect - Activity Details for Short Training 5
Having the day off [or at least not having to go to the office to work] was a good excuse and go for a run. Sondra is two weeks away from the Marine Corps Marathon, so we hit the streets for a training session. I stuck with her for the first 4 miles and then came back...she did 24 miles. On purpose. Needless to say, my 8 miles don't seem so impressive anymore. Regardless, if you are in DC on the 25th, get out and support the runners in the Marine Corps!!!

McLean 5K followed by the run home...

Garmin Connect - Activity Details for Long Training 3
Not a bad morning...we ran the 5k [by "ran", I mean John sprinted like he was on fire and I jogged behind] and then ran home. The 5k was small, but had great people and benefited the Children's Hospital. John smoked it and came in 4th overall unfortunately right after another chap in our age group meaning no prizes for us. We have big hopes for the next race...

It helps to turn the gps on at the beginning of the run rather than 1 mile in...
