This post-MCM morning, I slept in then had an exceptional breakfast with my sister and bother-in-law (quiche, french toast, and plenty of fruit juice), before heading out for an early afternoon jog around Arlington. For this 4.1-mile workout, I ran around the National Cemetery and completed a lap around Towers Park. In short, I just took in the views on this recovery run. On the Arlington side of the Potomac the view of Robert E. Lee’s old house (i.e., Arlington National Cemetery) is an impactful reminder of the sacrifices that so many men and women have made for our country while the view of D.C. on the other side of the Potomac depicts our freedom through its great monuments. Needless to say, Washington D.C. is one of my favorite cities.
We drove back up to Baltimore in the late afternoon; therefore, after unpacking I went for an evening run over to Johns Hopkins University. I completed three laps on the school’s track before heading back. The total distance of this run was also 4.1 miles at an easy/recovery pace.
Lastly, my non-running workout consisted of 300 sit-ups and 30 push-ups. |
