August 4

AM: 11 miles moderate

PM: 4 miles easy

I ran with Dirk in the morning before he jumped into a tempo run. While he ran his first loop around Meadowbrook, I looped around the trails in Rock Creek Park for another 20+ minutes before jumping into a relaxed loop of my own at marathon pace (13:25 for the loop, or a hair under 5:45 pace) while Dirk ran his last lap. To put my friend's fitness level in perspective, he was a spec on the horizon just a mile into the lap, and I wasn't exactly jogging it, either.

In the evening, I went for an easy shake-out run with Valerie on the Capital Crescent past the produce stand.
