So I went for a run with Andy Dietrich a week ago Friday down the "toe path" along the Potomac River. There are a couple places where it crosses some swampy area with wood-planked bridges. Hearing "aaaggghhh!!!" and then "kersplaaattt" was pretty funny but turning around and seeing Dietrich laid out on the ground after tripping like a baffoon on one of the planks was freaking hilarious. We probably put in a good 5-6 miles at a decent pace and the night ended in the beautiful Jessica Silva's hot tub with a 4 liter bottle of wine so overall I rate this a wonderful training experience.
This past weekend was a huge running success. I missed running with the Georgetown team on Saturday morning but went out for about an hour run in the morning anyway. The weather was gorgeous and I still have high hopes of finishing well in October. Unfortunately I probably shouldn't have put in so many miles on Saturday because my legs were still a little tired for the big race on Sunday, the Capitol Hill Classic 10K. It was an awesome course that started in Stanton Park, went out and circled around RFK stadium (temporary home to the new Nationals baseball team), down capitol HILL and around the capitol, and then back up capitol HILL at mile 5.5 before finishing back in Stanton Park. I crossed the finish line in my short hot-pink running shorts at 43:17 which is 6:59 pace for the 6.2 miles. I need to get much faster if I have any hopes of qualifying for Boston next year!
Instead of running today I ate 4 popsicles. Wonderful!
I leave you with something somebody wiser than myself (Walter Sobchak) once said:
"Good night sweet prince!" I love you Chad! And your nipple ring.
