I ran the Army 10 Miler this morning, finishing in a time of 65:33 by my watch.  Not the time I was hoping to run, frankly. But I ran the best race I could, on a fun course in perfect weather (temp 53, dp 44).  There are far worse things than missing your PR by 2 seconds.

I ran the Crawlin’ Crab half-marathon today, finishing in 1:29:37.  Not the time I had hoped for when I registered, but I’m still pretty happy with the race, one of three I was registered to run on this day.

I ran the “Clarendon Day 10K” today, finishing in a time of 39:42.  The time is what it is, but I’m satisfied with the race - I did what I came to do.

I ran the Rock and Roll Philadelphia Half-Marathon today, dropping out at about 7.5 miles.    I'm pretty disappointed, as all the places were set for a great race.  But, running does have its lows and its highs, and frustrations are part of the game.  I'll lick my wounds, and move on.

I ran the Kentlands 5K today, finishing in 19:10 gun time, which was a PR and good enough for the age group win, so yay.

I ran a track mile today at the PVTC Track meet, finishing in 5:39.  So, exactly 1 second faster than I ran this race 2 weeks ago, and still a bit off of my PR.

I ran the Reston Firecracker 5K this morning, finishing in a time of 19:20 by my watch (19:22 gun - I started back in the pack).  This was good enough for 11th overall female and 2nd in my age group in a very competitive field (5th and 7th went to pro runners Samia Akbar and Nikeya Green, to give some context).

I ran a track mile today at the PVTC Track meet, finishing in 5:40.  The time's a bit disappointing, as I previously ran a road mile significantly faster -- the road mile was NOT net downhill and had some hills, so I was expecting a faster time here.  But, didn't happen.

I ran the Race for the Cure 5K in downtown DC this morning, finishing the "course" in 19:42.  It is hopefully the closest in my running career I'll ever get to being in a zombie uprising.

But more on that later.
