RECAP: A busy, busy week with work, packing and moving most of what I own to NY. (E is living in NY, and I living in D.C. for the next six months. Since NY will be our permanent home, most of our furniture is now up there with her). I was able to get my runs in every day, but little else and fell a little short of the five hours of exercise goal. Whatever, I’m sure I will hit it next week.

In doing this summary, I noticed that my average pace was sub 9 for the first time in a long, long while. That is probably a sign that I was pushing it too much. I need to make sure that on most of my runs I am taking it down a notch or else I am going to get hurt.

In other exciting news, seems like winter is finally over in D.C. I ran in shorts this weekend for the first time in months and man did it feel good.

Anyway, here are the numbers.
