Barefoot. It was such a nice day to get out of the office and get a run in. Washington Dulles International Airport METAR reported the temps at the beginning of my run were 58F. Perfect! I ran into one of my flight instruction students along the path. (small world!) I didn't plan on doing an outdoor run today, so I didn't pack my GPS or heart rate monitor in my gym bag. I did play around with my blackberry application "GPS Logger II" I haven't figured out how to export that path to DailyMile, though. I ran fast today, but my pace doesn't reflect it, because I waited a long time at every road along the way. It seems that Northern Virginia Drivers don't understand WTH a crosswalk means. They just keep driving like I'm not even there. I got passed at mile 5. That dude left me behind by a quarter mile or so. Near the end of the run, I picked up the pace and caught up with him for a strong finish.

Today's barefoot run gawker was a 3 year old girl, who stared at me like I was some kind of weirdo. I resemble that remark.

I got back to the company gym, and all the treadmills were full. What is wrong with you people?!!!

    Good run, and yeah, I agree with you about drivers here. Especially around the W&OD crossings.
