Exercise Type: Run
Comments:
Started out feeling pretty good (stayed with the cobblestones and worn brick up until a bit after ward circle, where they started really speeding up). Apparently Silas made the same call too, and we ran together in a kind-of limbo group until Sibley, where we met up with DZ and Sahil for the long haul back. Sahil took off on the hill and had some fun, but the three of us stayed back (the hill felt hard enough as it was). Everybody got stopped at the stoplight across Foxhall, and Sahil hung back with me while Silas went ahead. Had a nice conversation, even though I felt surprisingly winded for some portions here and there. I guess these runs are slower yet as tiring as my winter break training because here I actually have to check myself and my pace by holding up a conversation (an expenditure of oxygen that I'm not quite used to again). Hopefully I'll be able to settle into the best conversational pace for me in the next week.
