Long rest

Quote of the day:
The time has come to set aside childish things.
President Obama, January 20 2009


I went to Washington last Sunday and stayed there till Wednesday. I was with a group of colleagues and participated in the inauguration ceremony of the new president, Barach Hussein Obama. This caused a long break in my running schedule. I only ran on Sunday. This was in Bethesda and my course took me to NIH campus, the National Library of Medicine (NLM), and the Navy Medical Center. I also ran on Old Georgetown Road.

After coming back, I was so tired that I didn't run on Wednesday. Then having to work night shifts compounded the exhaustion and I took another day off on Thursday. Today was the first day I got back to running again.

I went for one loop and did a tempo run with a pace of 6' 34" over one loop of Central Park. It is good to be back to running.
