Washington, DC: Had a lot of meetings today but was able to squeeze in a few miles before a dinner meeting. It was extremely hot in the fitness center so was glad I didn't have to stay in there much longer.

Washington, DC:  It was a nice morning today and ran along the Potomac which was nice.  I felt pretty good this morning but still just took it easy.  I started off slowly then got up to speed after a mile or so.

Washington, DC:  It was a little cooler this morning which felt nice and looked like rain but lucky that it held off until after I finished.  I was slow getting moving this morning but after a couple of miles felt much better and picked it up from there.  Nice run again along the Potomac.

I got in very late last night from my trip so was dragging a little this morning.  After getting awake I got into a good rhythm and enjoyed the run.  Still working on building back up the miles and getting consistent.

It was a nice morning for running today.  Temp around 50 with some light wind.  I felt pretty good this morning but still started off easy to get loose.  After a few miles I picked it up to what felt like MP.  I didn't time any of the miles just wanted to run based on feel.  I am going to try to start working in some faster stuff to get the legs moving again over the next few weeks. I would like to start racing again in about 4 weeks with a 5k or 10k.
