Wearing the full regalia/Good performances at the second home

So a long day today and a good day. First up was the BRRC (hopefully) 5 mile run at Druid Hill park. Surprisingly it was cold and windy. Go figure. However by this point we were quite used to it. I decided to go with full FMTC colors which meant that I had to at least put in a good effort. Took an early lead and then had several comical moments with the lead SUV when he got stopped with some oncoming runners. I channeled my best Claudio Chiapucci(minus the fabulous ability and probable drug use) and briefly passed it. To make a long story short(already too late) I led for approx 2 miles then stuck with the guy who caught me up the first big hill and then got smoked on the downhill(according to Jamie) and stayed fairly the same after that. I thought I might catch him when he randomly started walking up the last hill haha. Anyway a perfectly serviceable 29:13- we were debating whether the course was accurate after the time prediction debacles of the past- I feel like it is at least close based on the effort level and result. Who really knows obv but a good effort. Jamie had a creditable 31:58 in some tough conditions. The best things were some post race rehashing of 10-15 year old stories with Mike Woodman and the fact that my foot felt fine- left calf a little tight from running on the roads.

Later in the day we went down to PG for Montgomery Invit and there were lots of good runs. Jeff had a 6 second PR in 1600 and will go much faster, Madeline came 2nd in her heat(2nd fastest) in 5:13 a PR in January no less. Martin and Josh sporting their new kicks ran 2:10 and 2:12 in the 800 and Justin Gross hit a big 23'6" in LJ to break the meet record and apparently won the triple as well and came 2nd(barely) in the 55Hur. He is having a superlative senior season. Im sure I forgot some but thatll do for now.

Mileage for week = 54 a good first week of the year with 3 moderate workouts. Just stay consistent aand keep working and improving! Long run tomorrow 70 min prob on road maybe at mcd?
