Welp, I hope you all enjoyed the short reprieve from the hot weather. Tonight is going to be steamy.
 
This evening we are supposed to do 33 minutes worth of tempo. That means the entire Hains Point loop clockwise starting at the 14th street bridge underpass. 
 
Get excited for next week, when we get to do 8 hill repeats. 
 
See ya tonight.

Hey everyone, so we are going to have a slight change of plans for this week because of the race tomorrow and canceled track on Wednesday.
 
Tonight: depending on whether you plan on racing tomorrow, easy6 mile run or full tempo. We will determine who is doing what at the Jefferson Memorial.
Tomorrow: race at Burke LakeDCRRC Paul Thurston 4.5 Miler
 
Wednesday: No track
 
Thursday Evening: special edition tempo run to replace today's run. I will send out another email on Thursday morning.
 
That said looking forward to seeing everyone tonight, and hopefully getting tacos. Except for Cole, who is thankfully out of town and will not be getting tacos.
