4.02 in the morning.  The weather app said it was cloudy but not rainy.  It lied.  It was drizzly the whole time.  I had to take off my glasses and run blind the last mile because it was easier to see without them than with them.  I did tempo miles and I was happy about the paces I was able to get.

zumba after school- not sure if it's just me or not, but it's kind of getting old....not as much fun as it used to be.

Then I ran on the treadmill after zumba while little one did her math tutoring.  I started at 6 mph and every half mile I added .2, so I ended at 7.4.  It felt good, but the last half mile did feel like a workout.  A good workout.

This week I'll be sharing photos from the marathon with Terri.  Here's one of the guy who carried the Coast Guard flag the whole time.  We passed him just before/after/before around the time we passed by the Coast Guard building on the Anacostia river.

Proud of him, proud of our Coast Guard, proud of our military.

QP, nice picture, congrads on the marathon. Also, what are your goals for the rest of the year?

Brent- Goals? Not sure. I just want to be able to continue to enjoy running. I've got a half I'm going with Terri later on this spring. No goals for the race except to have a good time with Terri and enjoy the run.

I may try another full in the fall. Maybe a new race I haven't done yet. Looking for low cost options.
