Monsoons = Not Good

So, in addition to the earthquake, hurricane, and threat of terror attack that Washington DC has experienced in the past month, we also had a monsoon the past few days. The remains of TS Lee were stuck over us for three days - causing widespread flooding and road issues and such. Living in a  flood plane (why, oh why did I do that again?), I was concerned for my home and property, so I teleworked for three days.

After three days of staying indoors - no running, no nothing, this is what happens:

And also, you get crappy runs.

I was supposed to do intervals on Thursday with Pacers, but, as with last week, schtuff got in the way. AKA it was flooding and monsooning. By the time I got out, it was already getting dark, and I didn't have time to do a full 6 miles. So I switched around Sunday's and Thursdays, and opted to do 4 miles instead.

Let's just be short and sweet with this and say this was not a good run. I tried to go super fast on the outset - still feeling good from Tuesday's run - and it completely screwed me over. In addition, I brought no water, didn't fully hydrate, and was supah!hungry.

However, I did end up jogging halfway up the WW bridge, which is the path I'll be taking on my half. I hope to run that at least three or four more times prior to my race.

I did walk some of it, which was, you know, not what I'm supposed to be doing here, but I forgave myself.

It had been a weird week.
