I’ve had a busy few days, but they’ve been filled with mostly good things. First up, a blogger meet-up at a Nationals game. Thanks to Amanda for organizing (and for getting us covered seats, which were clutch when it rained). It was fun to catch up with old friends and make new ones. (And thank [...]

I’ve been going to Rock Creek Park pretty much every day since I’ve been back from vacation. Frankly, the main reason is because walking two dogs on leash in the city is a pain in the ass. And Joey has a very sensitive chicken-bone-radar, and it drives me nuts when he gets them. I [...] I’ve been trying to make the transition back into real life as painless as possible. A few key strategies: Monday morning instead of working out, I took the dogs through a walk in Rock Creek Park. This meant I got to sleep in later and pretend I was still in the middle of nowhere. I [...] I’m so tired right now as a result of an awesome, non-stop weekend. After a 30 minute swim with Nyema Friday, I worked from home for the day. This meant I could take Leela on 2 walks in Rock Creek Park – I love seeing her run again after her injury. She met a dog [...] OK that title may be a little dramatic. Starting tomorrow I’m going to be out of town for 12 out of the next 13 days (four different trips/locations). I love traveling to cool places for work and to see friends and family, but I get overwhelmed being away that long. I’m going to Chicago [...] It is finally starting to feel like spring around here. Not only are the temps rising, but that extra hour of sunlight after work has been awesome. Thanks to the sunlight and warm weather: I took Leela on a long walk after work yesterday. When it’s light we can take extra long routes and I [...] Thank you all so much for your ideas to cheer-up on my last post. I’m sorry if I have been a downer lately, but this weekend was a great start for getting myself out of my funk. My college roommate, Lauren, came down after work on Friday. Me & Lauren freshman year I [...] I’ve only had one official long run since I began my training cycle for the National Half Marathon. I did 6 miles two weeks ago and as soon as I came back I told Neil how happy I was that I had started my day like that. I love the Saturday long run for a [...] This morning started out like any typical Monday morning. Alarm goes off at 6:30 am. I silently curse it as I get myself out of bed, change into a few layers of running clothes and drive with Leela to Rock Creek Park. We were about .75 miles into our trail run, when Leela runs [...] |
