| Checked the box for this one which has been on my list for a number of years. Weather was cool-ish in the upper 60's with a breeze and high humidity. Organization was decent for such a large race. They announced 35,000 participants at the start.
This was a bit more difficult for me than it looked on paper. The climb on the bridge was about 1.5 miles and I tried to keep my effort even and execute a plan to make up time on the descent. I seemed to do that reasonably well, but was really pushing my HR limits and slowed a little bit in the last mile or so. 6:52, 7:14, 7:32, 6:34, 6:50, 7:15, and 6:41 for the last .2 miles. I did have a negative split - though I think that's to be expected where the hill is in the first half of the race and the second half has the downhill. Satisfied with the effort, time notwithstanding.

| AM - 3.1 miles with Finn around the neighborhood. Feeling slow and tired.
PM - outdoors at lunchtime - nice day, but the pollen count is so high, I feel like I can taste it when I am running. Bleah. Better run than this morning, but HR is really too high for the pace. Need a couple of longer slower aerobic efforts to reset things.

| AM - just 3 early miles on the treadmill in DC - had meetings on the Hill, actually that were going to tie up the entire day - and it was in the 30's too and dark. Stayed indoors instead.

| AM - 2 miles very slow and easy - on the golf course with Finn, just to give him some exercise. I was out of town until last night, and he needed to stretch his legs, but I did not have much time before work.
PM - 6 miles on the treadmill at lunch - cold front came through during the morning and it was actually windy and significantly cooler than it was when I ran earlier. Ran poorly, felt lousy, for most of the run anyway.

| PM - just shy of 6 miles on what was supposed to be an active recovery run - but I did not feel that great, ran too quickly, and negated the purpose of the run.
