I felt good #running this morning. Generally had negative splits. Most of this run was on a track as I wanted to save my knees and shins for tomorrow's long run.

Half marathon is next week. 2:20 is my time to beat. That should be doable if I can keep my pace steady and don't blaze out early. Steady. Stick with the plan.

Today's last kilometer, at 5:31, has been my fastest kilometer so far this year... and it felt pretty good. :-)

My sister's excuse for missing parkrun this morning !
Edit:
1) Sister may owe Clarkson royalties.
2) Bird head may/may not be displayed like a hunting trophy on the front of the car.
3) Yes, one of the best excuses ever.

I rolled up my #running stats for the first three months of the year.

Glad to see a slow increase in my cadence (SPM). I have been trying to improve that.

Total kilometers of running is certainly increasing.

I have been following the Hal Higdon Marathon intermediate plan. So far, so good. I have been doing a better job this year in actually taking rest days when I am suppose to.

Half marathon coming up in about two weeks. Current HM PB is 2:21 (6:36 KM pace). I hope to do better than that.

#Running this morning: started near The Pentagon, saw the cherry blossoms along the tidal basin, went by the following monuments: FDR, Korean War, reflecting pool, Washington Monument, Eisenhower, back by the Washington Monument, WWII, and then Vietnam until i headed over the bridge towards Arlington National Cemetery. Not my fastest run, but as many of what these memorials recognize are connected with my work on my PhD dissertation, I used the run as a motivational tool to get busy writing!

This morning's run let me go see the cherry blossom's in Washington D.C.! Does not get much better than that. I enjoy everyone's posts that include pictures... but I don't run with my phone... usually. As my hotel room key is now my phone, I had to take it on the morning run and decided to snap a few pictures along the route. I am hoping on tomorrow's long run to push up the Mall a bit further.

I've been following one of the Hal Higdon plans for marathon prep and observe a rest day on Fridays. Oddly, my legs feel much worse on rest days.

Long run is tomorrow, but I enjoyed this mornings run. Everything felt good. I did stretch a bit more responsibly prior to the run than usual. Obviously that is a practice I need to turn into a habit.

Short term goal: have a HM coming up in 28 days.

Long term: first marathon in October.

Overall goal: rigorous training without injury

ten degrees celsius, you know what that means

COLD BREW SEASON BAYBEE

#hashhouseharriers

Question: What is the best way to get involved with the local Hash House Harriers group here in the US midwest? They have a website where they post their trail events. Do I just show up with money and an ID? I am an older GenXer... do they embrace us older folks?

What should I expect?

#Running	Mostly 10Ks. Trying to get faster.
#Framework	Have been enjoying my FW13. #linux #fedora
