D.C. training #6: Pockets of sunshine

2/25: 3.66mi, avg. 8:59/mi
2/26: 8:00mi, avg. 8:31/mi
3/1: 6.04mi, avg, 9:10/mi
3/2: 9.88mi, avg, 8:59/mi

It’s snowing. Again.

But really, it doesn’t matter. The past two weekends consisted of mild weather and pleasant winds, so that allowed me to finish long run weekend and the last of the long runs yesterday.

I forgot how quickly dehydration sneaks up when the weather gets hotter. Yesterday’s long run was good but without the Mall’s fountains still not working and me forgetting my water bottle, I was hurting a bit toward the end.

Now, it’s time to taper. My taper experience with the maratón was difficult. I don’t expect much trouble this time because the race is on home turf and the last vestiges of winter will keep me occupied.

Here’s hoping the lamb-like end of March starts by March 15!
