011109 - Run

Headed out the door at 9 AM this morning for an aerobic run.  Ran down North Capital Street, across Penn. Ave, up 12th street and across T street as I made my way back home.  I was happy to run down toward the Capital today, because as I hit Penn. Ave, I was surprised to see a very large group of police, military and people in general.  They were doing a rehearsal for next week's inauguration of President Obama.  It was neat to see the parade dry run and I ran along side the procession as I made my way across Penn. Ave.  I am glad I saw the dry run, because I am staying away from the real deal next week.  Word is we are going to have over 2 million people flooding our great city for the big event.  I am looking forward to hiding out in my house safely away from the ruckus!

Anyhow, back to the run!  I felt really good today and the legs seem to be recovering from this weeks workouts.  I kept an average HR of 149 and hit a max of 179 on the hill up from the mall. I covered 6.6 miles in 60 minutes.
