Running log

Being in DC didn’t help me work out, despite the warmer weather.

Thursday morning, I ran 4 miles in 45 minutes. I started out running east, because that had to be the way to the capitol and was very confused when I encountered the stadium station. I ran south, then north, then a little further east, and yup, there weas the stadium and the river. Had a “duh” moment and turned around and ran west. I wasn’t in Chicago. The capitol was west. Ran around the library of congress and back to my host’s place.

Due to late friday world of warcraft, I didn’t make it to Saturday morning frontrunners. Sunday morning provided me with a little coaching. Ran one mile in 9:30ish. Then he watched my form for another mile which I ran in 7:11.(1:48, 1:50, 1:51, 1:52 splits) (I so could not run 10 miles at that pace.) He suggested I might want to try working on rolling more and stomping less, as well as opening up my torso rather than hunching forward, but that otherwise I seemed to be running with pretty good form. (thank you fleet feet for the new shoes).
