Blast from the Past!

It has been a while since Dave and I have posted anything on our training but things are going really well thus far. It hasn't been easy and sleep has taken a back seat as sometimes the only time to run is at 5am after running 10 miles the night before. Wait, that's what happened today.

This morning I headed to the new Woodrow Wilson Bridge to watch the sun rise and at my turnaround point I wasn't across the bridge so I kept going. The bridge connects Old Town Alexandria with the newly built up National Harbor in Maryland. It has a great pedestrian path with little niches that have telescopes to check out the view. It's really beautiful up there and kept my interest level high which is hard to do at that hour.

Few other quick tidbits about what's going on in our lives:
* My siblings and I went to Trapeze School for my sister's birthday
* Dave and I moved in together
* We have yet to even come close to killing each other
* Dave and I both ran a PR in the local Rockville Twilighter 8k
* We ran that PR after running 13 miles and biking 8 that morning
* Dave owns part of an island in Michigan
* We ran 16 miles on the island on a dirt path looking at nothing but trees
* During that 16 mile run a nice man caught up with me and we ran together. He told me he has never seen another human running on the island let alone at the same pace at the same time
* I'm leaving my job in less than a month
* After I had "the talk" with my boss I went out for my second run of the day and knocked out 7.5 miles just trying to digest the situation

Lastly, Dave and I are having a housewarming party on Aug 22nd and plan on putting a donation basket out to get people ramped up again. Jonathon's mom (my aunt) just got married last week (congrats!) and we are so happy for her.
