Down Rivelin, first half with alex then on my own.

loop in Wharncliffe, to start with with Alex, after long BBQ in Wortley. Very, very tired!

hotel to Kings St metro

From L'enfant metro up round the capitol, down past washington monument and the lincoln memorial then over the bridge and along the mount vernon trail through the parks. Had a few photo stops en route :-) Absolutely boiling. 37oC in fact. and high humidity. I originally thought about running all the way back to the hotel, but part way through the parks I started to really overheat and in the end it was a struggle just to make it as far as the airport metro! Drank 700ml water during my run (yes, I ran carrying a water bottle) but it wasn't enough. Sweated a ridiculous amount so probably short on salts too. It would have been another 30-40 mins back so stopping was a good choice. Great run though despite the heat and nice to see more of the sights before I have to head home...

From the hotel in Alexandria up towards the Geaorge Washington Memorial. At the 50:50 I turned left, which turned out not to be the right way, but I snuck through a hole in the fence at the back of a condo block. Cool monument and I only disobeyed the no running rule a bit ;-)

cross trainer in the gym

5 mins warm up on the treadmill, 5 warm down.

45-15s following active MARS. Tough after a long day of conferencing.
