Comments:
Jogged to Bethesda from home to meet Kate Cullen at 5pm. Ran out and back along the trail mostly at 8:20 pace. Nice to catch up and appreciated the controlled pace. Stopped for much needed water, ran into KB, and then said goodbyes. Another pause at the Barnes and Noble bathroom. By the time I resumed, a cloudy cold front had hit and the winds were blowing cool air for the final two miles home along Wisc. I was able to accelerate a bit for the return home, and even pushed the last bit of the brick path, as the water, rest and cooler air helped revive me, but it still feels like the increase in mileage this week has worn me down. Understandably... I just need to be careful not to overdo things, as I can tell my form breaks down when I'm tired and my knees ache more when I do. If I can get in another solid week, though, I should soon be able to turn the next corner.
