I'm pretty sure the Red Line is doing everything in it's power to keep me from getting home at a normal hour to get my run in. Last night right after 4 p.m. a man was struck and killed by a Metro train one stop from the one I take to get home....
I was less than eager to get out of bed Sunday morning when my alarm went off at 5:45 in the morning. I hit snooze a few times but eventually dragged my butt out of the bed so I could get my run in before the temps climbed too high.I did my usual...
(Why do I just know Glaven will come up with some horribly inappropriate comment about that title?)So the BF is in the midst of packing because he's hoping to move soon and last night his mom came over to drop some boxes and things off. Unfortunately when she got out of the car,...
After Monday's Metro crash, I worked from home Tuesday because I couldn't get into the office. Full service still hasn't been restored to the my line on the Metro so since Tuesday night I've been staying at the BF's and doing about an hour and 10 minute commute from his house because the...
This post has absolutely nothing to do with running. I just need a place to process everything that happened yesterday. Feel free to skip this post. Or if you need the background of what happened, it's all over the Washington Post homepage.When I get the email alert from the Metro yesterday saying there...
I headed out of town this weekend to spend some QT at home with the fam. for Father's Day. I had good intentions of getting my long run in on Saturday morning, but a combination of late arrival the night before and sucktastic pouring rain all weekend kind of killed those plans.So instead,...
I've been having a stressful two weeks lately and so I apologize for my absence. Training last week was less than fun, but I muddled through it and managed to survive. In the middle of training I found out one of my coworkers had accepted a new job and so we're all doing...
I'll be in and out all week, but mostly out because I'm at a suck-tastic week-long work training with zero access to the Internet. I'll try to catch up on blogs in the evenings when I'm not busy doing training homework (yes that's right, this training comes with homework and a project due...
It's Friday and my brain is all mush and I feel like I can't string together a cohesive blog post. So here's some quick bullet points for you. Enjoy!I bagged last night's workout because 1) it was pouring rain so no running and 2) my legs were still killing me from the Shred...
Yesterday was National Running Day. And you know what I didn't do? That's right, I didn't run.Why you might ask? Well because National Running Day fell on one of my cross-training days and I wasn't about to get my training schedule all messed up just for some faux-holiday running celebration.Seriously, I run most...
Sometimes I see some weird things on my morning commute. I think it must be because I leave my house by 6:25 to get into the office at 7 a.m. and all the wierdos haven't gone to bed yet or something like that.I also tend to see a bunch of runners out logging...
