Travel back to DC today, I wasn't going to run. But then I was panicking thing about the future so I figured it would be a good stress reliever. Went out about 9 pm. I love running at night; it's been a long time. Felt great at first, very loose and natural. Eventually dinner and ice cream kicked in but glad I got out.

Summary:
Ran in the evening because I wanted a decently long run (and at this point 4.5 miles suffices) so I could make a decision. Ended up not really thinking about it at all. I was sort of already decided: I'm moving to Mississippi. Gives me a little bit of panic to write it out, but that panic is really the only reason I have not to do it against a lot of good reasons to. So there it is.

I was going to run in the morning but at 6am there was a vicious thunderstorm which I assumed would still be going at 7. It wasn't, but I was already committed to sleeping in. Went out at 8:30 after a 2-beer dinner, but I didn't feel terrible. Upgraded from 2 to 2.5 to 3+ miles.

Summary:
Forgot to stretch or do hip exercises last night, and I felt pretty tight this morning, especially in my right hip. Ran down into the park. Stopped to use the bathroom and then ran back up. Just as I was arriving at the apartment I realized I didn't have my keys. I had put them down in the bathroom and not picked them back up. That was about the far point of the run and I wasn't really up for 7 miles. Luckily I managed to get into the backyard and knock on the back door, and Matt was in the kitchen. Also luckily I fixed my flat tired yesterday, so I biked down to the park, got the keys and biked back up. Stretched but thanks to all that didn't have time for PT exercises again.

Summary:
I know I'm getting back on the horse because I was able to get myself out of bed at 6 and out for a run this morning (have to be at a conference put on by the magazine early). A bit longer than usual. Felt slightly stiff at first, could feel the crappy stretching from the past few days, but I loosened up. Got a good stretch in after.

Summary:
More thunderstorms this morning... Could be a problem for a while, looking at the forecast. It was clear in the evening (though there's supposed to be more tonight), so I headed out. Very humid. Went down to the creek pathway, and then after the mill instead of going straight I went left on to some horse trails. A long uphill before I turned around which helped demonstrate what bad shape I'm in. Eventually I recovered. Legs felt pretty heavy at the beginning but overall felt good. Enjoyable to run in the afternoon.

Out very late last night, but I couldn't help but wake up at 8. Stayed in bed for a while sleeping fitfully. When I got up I wasn't too tired, though I'll probably crash later. Had some breakfast and then after a couple hours I headed out. I was just going to do 3 miles or so, but I got out onto a trail on the park and felt good and didn't feel like just turning around. Eventually I got to a bridge that brought me over to Beach Dr so I came back down on that. Got a little cramped up at the end.

Stayed up late reading so I was really tired this morning and too lazy to get up and run. Worked out okay - I finally stopped by Georgetown on the way home and got some very badly needed new shoes (they didn't have the Sauconys I usually get some I'm trying some Brooks Adrenaline, which are pricier than I like and maybe a little too big. We'll see) and I was able to go longer in the evening than I would've had time for in the morning. Headed down the trail to Park, then went along the road briefly before cutting back towards the Valley Trail. Been a long time since I've been on there. Not too hot out, felt very good.

Summary:
Now that it's nice out (or at least not raining) and I've been both biking to work and then getting in reasonable-length runs, it might be affecting my ITB again. Today at work I noticed the tendon above and outside my right knee was feeling very tender. It felt worse biking home than it did running, which I did almost as soon as I got home. Took a little bit for my body to adjust from biking to running, and I never really felt like I was going that fast, but I got out to Quackenbos about a minute faster than I did when I ran up 13th the other day. Cut across there and came back down 14th. Just measured this route and it turned out to be 4.5 miles, not 4. I've been mostly assuming I've been running about 8 minute pace, but that comes out to 6:53 miles. I should probably slow it down.

When I woke up this morning my ITB was still tender so I decided to take the day off--no biking, no running--but that was in part just an excuse to sleep in. By the end of work it felt fine, so I decided to go for it. Down Park to the trail, north a little bit and then back up the Piney Branch trail. ITB felt fine and I got in a good stretch afterwards.

Summary:
Had to be at work early this morning so we could finally but the July issue to bed. It was off to the printers around 3 or so (marking my first time as a magazine cover model and my first published magazine feature article--hopefully, despite my job choice, not my last), at which point the other editors and I took the interns out for food and beer. Biked home at five pretty full and dehydrated, but at 6:30 after a full water bottle of hydration I felt okay, so I headed out. Pretty dismal sky. Went down to the park and onto the Valley Trail. Going a decent pace, but the hills hit me pretty bad. Started to cramp up on the way in. Just as I arrived back at the apartment a couple of drops of rain started up and the wind started to rain - and once I got inside it started to just pour.

Summary:
Went down Park, then got onto the Valley Trail. Took a different right branch at one point that went up and up and eventually dumped me out in the Carter Barron neighborhood, which I was hoping it would. But then the route back was much shorter than I anticipated, so this run was shorter than planned.
