Zoo Loop

Time: 40:00
Distance: 5.75 mi.

Easy morning run with Max and Pat Murphy looping through Rock Creek Park and the Zoo. Hip flexor tight by the end.

Week In Review

Time: 175:00
Distance: 25 mi.

Three good runs, but a sandbagged week due to being sick. While my right hamstring feels generally good these days, my left hip flexor is a bit of a drag.

Glover Trails

Time: 62:30
Distance: 9 mi.

Easy run in the Glover trails from George's house. The trails were a little bit sloppy, but we got in a decent effort. And I raced George at the end... We're still waiting for the determination from FAT timing.

RCP South

Time: 49:24
Distance: 7 mi.

Easy morning run down Florida Ave. to southern RCP and back through the park with Ben Clark and his friend Jeff. I was a bit tired from a long week, but it was good to have company. Good brunch afterwards.

Day Off

Easy City Loop

Time: 63:00
Distance: 9 mi.

Evening run with Peaches, Ozzie and Ben Clark. We looped around a bit through the city, ending up on east U St. and ran back through Shaw and up to Petworth.

Day Off

Hopefully back tomorrow...

Day Off

Still sick.

Day Off

Jetlagged and getting sick.

May Review

Distance: ~100 miles (yes, that's for the whole month)

Well keeping a log of running through pain 4-5 days per week was depressing. So I quit again for most of May. After this weekend, when I got in two 50+ minute runs with less hip flexor and hamstring pain than I have had since the marathon back in February, I have decided to keep myself more honest and get back to keeping myself honest.

Bryn Mawr

Time: 30:00

Easy morning run with Ozzie and Tushar from Tush's place in Bryn Mawr. A bit tired and dehydrated, but excited to head to Heps at Penn. Moderately tight, but nothing out of the ordinary these days.

Stretching: Umm...

Day Off

Rock Creek Park

Time: 31:13

Easy loop through RCP. Hamstring was tight the whole run. Hip flexor okay.

I haven't been stretching enough this week.

Downpour

Time: 30:20

Easy run through a rainstorm. Just what I needed.

Day Off

Adams Morgan / Zoo

Time: 34:51

Easy afternoon run through Adams Morgan and the Zoo with Peaches, who just moved back to DC over the weekend.

Stretching: Hamstring

Week In Review

Time: 138:41
Distance: ~20 mi.

Another 5 day running week. I am feeling some slight improvements in my hamstring and hip flexor.

Mt. Pleasant Loop

Time: 30:43

Easy loop dipping into RCP and around Mt. Pleasant. Felt okay, considering I was running early to miss the harder rain that hit the District later in the day.

Stretching: Hamstring stretches with the rope.

Midas Run

Time: 26:00

Morning run down to Midas near Mt. Vernon Square, where I had some break work done on the car yesterday. I felt much better than the morning run earlier this week, though I was still a bit tight.

No stretching, headed right to work.
