Notes
The easy run part of today felt just fine, but I struggled to find my legs on the tempo part. I ran down to the mall in DC where they were having the Navy Half Marathon and jumped in on that course so I could get splits and just be in the company of others. It was pretty fun. I got a late start (6:30am, and I didn't get to bed until midnight so I was pretty tired). My legs took about 5 minutes to shake out and then I was feeling light and quick. I ran about 10 miles to the start and jumped in. Because I was late I was mostly weaving my way through traffic and ran a section of the course that was uphill and into the wind so my splits weren't great. Ran about 5:28 pace for 7 miles then trotted the last bit home.
Now I'm exhausted and ready for a nice long rest
