My running buddy T will run into work from her home in Bethesda. Every once in awhile I'll join her for most of the running, usually cutting away when we reach my street. So this morning, I got up at 5:45 am (did not turn on any royal wedding news) and eventually made my way via metro to Medical Center. From there we ran.
It's a nice running route, when I think about it. It's hilly for the first 2 miles, but after that it's flat or downhill. In total the run for me was 8.56 miles over the course of 1:30:34, but according to my Garmin, I was moving for 1:28:53. I guess I didn't stop my watch at a couple of lights. And this morning was a beautiful day for a long run. It was cool, with a slight breeze, and sunny. I think I'm tired enough to take a "nap" before I head into work later this evening.
Still, I've got to work on my speed.
As a post-run treat, I finally opened my jar of Speculoos Spread from Wafels & Dinges. It's yummy on a hot, fresh waffle. But it's was almost as good on toast. But, frankly, I think the spread would be great straight out of the jar!
Sounds like a great run!! You remind me so much of myself--I am ALL about the yummy treats after exercising. Oh, and my parents say hi!
