Good run last night, standard Tuesday 7 miles -- the heat and humidity in DC have broken a bit (my fab wicking running shorts didn't finish the run feeling like a bathing suit, at least, like they have most of the summer). Put a good pace on, 6:15-6:30. Right knee, right shin, left ankle still pained a bit from weekend long runs. For some reason it was a rabbit convention out there in Silver Spring last night -- I must have startled 12 or 13 rabbits out of the middle of suburban streets between 9 and 9:45 pm. Got back in time to watch my Tigers lose to the Royals -- how do you beat the Yankees 16-0 and lose to the KC Royals the next night? Will do 7 tonight and tomorrow night, per usual.
With an 8 hour drive to Ohio on tap for Friday (and back again on Sunday) my schedule will be a bit off for 2 long weekend runs, but Monday is a holiday, so I can stick the 16 miler there. As long as I get 12 in on Saturday before golf and family events kick off, and stick a quick 5 in first thing Sunday morning, I'll be ok. So I won't break 200 miles for August (I look back now at the 400 mile months I did in college and cringe). But I broke 1,800 miles for the year last night [7.5 miles/day avg]. Still plan two marathons more this year (Marine Corps and Vegas), and of course, if [when] I qualify again for Boston, that could be 3 in Spring '08 (LA, Boston, Wilmington).
