The heavens opened up on us about in the mile into the run, pouring rain for the next 45 minutes. It kept spitting on and off thereafter.
I met a group of 10 GRC'ers at the Line this morning, sticking to Beach Drive for the first 10. The pace quickened in the second half, and I joined a smaller group through the Chevy Chase neighborhoods and Western Ave. hills. Afterward, I added two loops at Meadowbrook with Dylan and Dickson to make it 2:10 for the day. The cooler weather was amazing, and my legs and body felt much better than they have in weeks. I seemed to only feel stronger as the run went on, even on the hills, which is an encouraging sign heading into a cycle of marathon training.
This is the end of a recovery week for me. This Wednesday will be the last group run/workout for me for a while, and I'm planning a big 21-22 "farewell tour" long run through DC and Maryland on Friday to knock out my long run before the weekend's move to North Carolina.
