I swim. I bike. I run...usually covered in boogers and crayon.

Running Like the Wind

Since the hot weather has backed off, I can proudly say that I'm a runner again. I slacked a lot during the summer but we (the H and I) are registered for several races this fall and must get back into our routine.
For the past two weeks, I've met my friend to run at 5:30am twice a week. We usually do 3-4 miles but she's aiming to do a 7 mile leg of the Baltimore Marathon relay so we will be running longer (and faster) soon (we hope).
I'm still hosting the group run every Wednesday night for the DC Capital Striders (check it out here: http://www.meetup.com/dccapitalstriders-NOVA/events/31720582/)
I ran 10 miles on Saturday which is the longest and furthest I've run since I ran the North Face Endurance Challenge in June (I told you I was slacking.) The Husband also ran 10 miles today. We ARE, after all, running the Parks 1/2 Marathon on September 11th...6 days from now. And we are so hardcore about training. Hahahaa.
Wish us luck...
