Event: 2014 U.S. Corn Maze Champs
Running 1:05:25 [2] 11.89 km (5:30 / km)
shoes: Yellow mizunos
Running in Rock Creek Park with Kenny!
Kenny picked us up at home, and handed us a stack of orienteering maps of local places. We then had a nice run on the trails at Rock Creek, while Alli did her own run. Fun to catch up with Kenny and get to explore our new neighborhood.

Running 59:21 [2] 11.49 km (5:10 / km)
shoes: Yellow mizunos
First run in DC! I ran from home in the morning going down to Rock Creek and looking for ways to get on the Rock Creek Trail. After a couple of wrong turns (including ending up in the National Zoo maintenance facility) I ended up on the trail and ran north along the creek. I'll have to get used to the heat and humidity here - even today's mild weather had me struggling.
I think we did well with choosing where to live. It was less than 1km to get to Rock Creek, which offers possibilities for a number of nice trail loops. At the same time, we are living on top of a metro station in a very diverse neighborhood with great food options. Now, we'll just have to see what the commute to work will be like.
DC activity of the day:
1) Navigate our way to IKEA and back. Yes, I had the meatballs...
2) Lyle Lovett concert at Wolf Trap - an awesome concert venue!

Running 46:00 8.36 km (5:30 / km)
shoes: Yellow mizunos
Our first workout in DC! We moved from Columbus today, got the keys to our new place, and went to the in-house gym. I did 4x4 minutes hard on the treadmill, going at a cruisey pace of 4:00/km.
It is worth noting that we started our tenure in the new place by being locked inside our parking garage for 20 minutes or so.

Running 1:00:00 10.91 km (5:30 / km)
shoes: Yellow mizunos
Intervals on the indoor 160m-long running track at my parents' local gym in Columbus. I did a ladder, starting with 1 lap and going up to 5, then coming back down to 1. The laps took 32-34 seconds, so the longest intervals were about 2:45-2:50.
