On Tuesday, after the conference, I met with Don W. to go for a run over to Alexandria, VA. We ran from 5:45pm to around 7:15pm, for a distance of about 8 miles.
Wonderful run, up to Woodrow Wilson Bridge, then across to Alexandria. When we got across the Potomac, we headed south on the Mt. Vernon Trail, and turned around at the rest room building. The damp & humid air made it feel even colder than reality, but once we got off the bridge, we felt much warmer…
On December 28, I decided to run home from work. It’s about 7.3 miles, the route I took. For several miles over the course of this run, I went through not so nice areas. It was a little sketchy since the sun was setting and the sidewalks were quite icy. I believe I ran faster than I normally would, because I made it home in 57 minutes, which is a very fast pace (for me)!
When things happen in my life, it is normally the result of hard work, trying times, and excruciating planning. However, every now and then life throws me a curve ball or two. For instance the last two weeks, I can not even *try* to explain. (more…)
On Saturday, I joined my fellow co-workers at the 26th running of the Federal Cup. At my workplace, the Fed Cup is a very coveted prize. Folks train for it and generally get amped up every spring. I was asked to be part of the co-ed team, and again, I had to say yes!
