  1. RUN
    good Green Rock Trail 8.01 mi 01:34 11:46 pace

    Awesome trail run today on Green Rock Trail. I met up with James L., John S. and his friend Greg at 6 AM. James led the way and set the pace for their 12-miler. I only had 8-9 to get in and James ... read more

    good Three Parks Run 5.5 mi 00:52 09:28 pace

    Wanted to get in 5-6 miles today... so I ended up splitting it and got in 5.5 miles. The run started off with a cool mist/drizzle, but then warmed up a bit. Overall I kept the pace slow, got in a ... read more

    great Scott AFB Airfield Running Track 6.52 mi 01:01 09:20 pace

    I had to get in 6 miles tonight and thought it would be easiest if I did so right after work instead of after the drive home. Luckily I had a co-worker come with me, which helped the miles fly by. ... read more

    good After Work Run Through the Park 3.16 mi 00:32 10:01 pace

    Long day. I had 3-4 on the schedule... didn't want to do it, but did it. The pace tells the whole story.

    I still had some energy after the drive home from this mornings trail run. I wasn't planning on another run, so I threw down a couple brats left over from Mother's Day. I headed out the d... read more

  8. RUN
    good City Limits Lollipop 6.03 mi 00:55 09:08 pace

    I kept this run slow and it felt great. I was going to do an out-and-back along the rolling hills of Arsenal, but I couldn't help myself. When I got to the city limits I remembered the "... read more

      I bought my single speed commuter bike at Maplewood Cyclery and rode it home on Southwest. That was a challenge, but I made it up. If you want to hill train closer to home try Potomac from Roger to Bent, I think it is about 90 feet in a quarter mile.

    My daughter wanted to go for a run with the dogs, so we got dressed and headed out for a quick mile. At this point I am glad all she can do is a mile or two, but looking forward to the day she ask... read more

      So cool that your daughter is interested in running! I'm so glad I have a son - raising a daughter today has to be terrifying. Way to give her an anchor for her self-esteem that is anti-Kardashianesque!

      I am still looking at the Altras, but picked up a pair of Adidas Thrasher 2 since they were half off and felt comfortable. They felt good on the trail, even though I wasn't expecting much out of them.

      I noticed that. I thought they were putting in a sidewalk, it must be a "green" sidewalk, recycled tires and permeable surface. I'll have to try it out.
