I did a long-ish run today. I was looking forward to it because the weather was actually supposed to be in the high 40s, which is warm compared to most of the other runs this winter. However, there was a lot of wind. I forgot how tough it is to run against the wind. It takes a lot of added energy. Sometimes I felt like I was exerting a lot of effort for not a lot of distance. I did run longer than I had planned, so that is a positive. I ran around the mall (I know it's not surprising) and hit all four Presidential monuments. I went West to Lincoln, than crossed crossed Independence to hit FDR and then the Jefferson and, last but not least, the Washington Monument. From there I headed East to do a little mall loop to 7th. I should have gone to 3rd, but I was getting cold and the wind was getting to me. After that I headed home (with a stop at Whole Foods). According to map my run, it was 7.2 miles. Not too bad considering next weekend I'll have to run 13.1 miles in Austin!
Tomorrow is the Love the Run You're With 5k. It's supposed to be in the low 50s, but I'm guessing at 9am, it will still be chilly. The shirt design is cute. The shirt color is purple. Yep.
