Training Log Archive: Nadim

I went back and forth from Northfield Rd. to Bethesda Metro Station. I got distracted by some more trash that I needed to put out before it was collected. Initially, I'd left my key in the door and when I first got to the station, I realized it and rode back. There was a little bit of a headwind going to the station and the temperatures were in the 50s. I was dressed for work and by the time I got done riding, I was hot enough to get a sweaty back.

Washington, D.C. From 12th & Independence Ave., SW, down Independence Ave., to 17th St., along the Reflecting Pool to the Lincoln Memorial circle, to Ohio Dr. to the Rock Creek Trail, to P St., NW., to 20th St., NW., to the Dupont Circle Metro Station at Q St., NW. I last ran this in December. It was near 80 F and I was about a minute slower today. There were lots of tourists out (especially at the Lincoln Memorial) and I had a few stops for traffic. During the run I just tried to make regular progress and I didn't want to push it for fear of breaking something else. I'll need to do a lot more running to be ready for the Billygoat, and I'm going to try to do it. My right calf felt okay during this run. My left calf started tightening up a little just before finishing. I stretched afterward and cooled off. A tailwind had kept me from feeling the breeze earlier.

From the Bethesda Metro Station to Northfield Rd. I was a little tired from running. It was till warm. I had a tailwind and was riding in my running shorts but there was traffic.
