Left home at 7:30 and ran up Conn to intercept Jon E. Cut down Hesketh to Dorsett and took that to River and across. Through that next neighborhood and spilled out onto Mass which we took down to Goldsboro and MacArthur. Dropped down to canal at Cabin John bridge and took towpath to Fletchers, BK to Nebraska and home via Wisc and 41st. Overshot home with Jon and doubled back after saying goodbye to Jon on Conn where' we'd met at the Chevy Chase post office. A nice loop (the first half of which I'd actually planned as it was a very westerly course and essentially a straight line), if I may say so myself. Felt good the whole way and our pace was well matched. We probably ranged from high 7s early on and on bad footing up BK to sub 7:30 along the canal. Three mile splits there (past Sycamore Island,) I don't trust some of them, but they average out usually... 7:06, 7:30, 7:25. Conversation was easy,and I was happy to be getting in a long run with well matched company. I felt fine the whole way. Feet felt a little swollen afterwards when I walked 2 miles with Leah and Sally, but generally came through the day just fine. It is nice to be fit, and I'm hopeful I can keep up the training better than usual this spring.
