Plans to go orienteering were foiled by a dead car battery, so I went down to the gym for some quick elliptical intervals before going to meet alli, who came back from another trip.

A nice lunchtime run from work with Charlie, on a gorgeous summer ummmm winter day (60F and sunny). Down the mall, around Mr. Lincoln, and back up. Good company made the run go by quickly.
Long session on the elliptical after work. Got really hungry and weak after about 40 minutes. Ran upstairs, grabbed a few small cheeses, and gobbled them down, then finished the workout.

Morning intervals with the Crawlers. Jon showed up! Cardozo track was closed, so we went over to Banneker, the weirdly circular track over by Georgia Avenue. The weather was really nice for running - partly cloudy and low 40's or so.
We did a funny workout, where someone picked a card out of a deck before each interval to determine what the interval would be, with 2s and 3s corresponding to 200s, 4s and 5s to 400s, and so on, with the ace being a 2000m interval.
I ran most of these behind Zach and Jon, though Jon and I passed Zach as has faded on the last few. I was behind Jon each time, but not as hopelessly far behind as I had expected. Fun workout with a nice group!

I ran to work this morning. It was really lovely out - clear and chilly, with frost on the grass, and bright sunshine hitting me as I turn onto the mall towards the Capitol. American flags at the Washington Monument were at half-staff once again, and it is almost feeling like they are nearly continuously flown at half-staff for one tragedy or another....
