4.17.10 - Zoe was recovering from her tweaked back so the plan had been to do 2 miles or so, nothing crazy and we thought it be quick so we left our water bottles at the car. Well 2 miles turned into 3 miles, which turned into 4, which turned into 5.5 in all. We vowed never to do a long run without water or money to stop and buy some EVER again!
4.19.10 - Following our training plan we only needed to do 2 miles at a pretty slow pace, we felt like this wasn't going to be enough but after a long day of work for both of us - 2 miles was all we wanted to do.
4.22.10 - With Zoe out at her company event at a National's game, Jen spent some time with the family - Kristen, Heath and Dad joined her for 3.5 miles on a route that Kristen and Heath usually take down the W&OD, up the side of Fairfax County Pkwy and through Reston Town Center. This one will go on the favorite list because we'll be able to reward ourselves with smoothies at the end :)
4.26.10 - We thought 4 mile Monday was going to occur on the treadmills due to afternoon rain and the threat of evening thunder storms, but when we got out work the sky was clear and we hit the W&OD trail. We ran through patches of light rain and we both agreed that we wished we had hats on but we survived. On our way back from Herndon to Reston we passed a familiar face - James heading home from work! He turned and rode alongside us for a bit - we're going to hold you too it James! You will be running with us soon!
4.27.10 - In an attempt to finish her makeup miles, Jen hit the treadmill at the gym for 2 miles. It was painful and boring - even with the addition of some speed intervals, outside is so much better!
4.29.10 - We love having special guests run with us, and this time Ellis laced up his sneakers and joined us! One of our first regularly run courses was the loop around the golf course starting from Ellis & Zoe's house and we don't do it very often any more and last night we remembered why...the HILLS! In the end the GPS tracked 2.7 miles (we used to think it was 3!) and it was a good workout! We've gotten very comfortable with the flat stretch of the W&OD we've become so accustomed to. This will end up back in the rotation more often as we get closer to our 10K race in July at Rock Creek Park.
4.30.10 - Saturday's run started with a goal of 6 miles. We hadn't decided where to run so we just started running. It was unexpectedly hot and humid which made it a little difficult then usual. We got to the trail and then decided to go towards Lake Anne. We jumped off the trail and realized it was further then we planned to run so we turned around. After 5 miles the heat got to us and we walked home. There is always next Saturday to get that extra mile in.
Weird elbow pit tan lines made us laugh
