One thing I never thought was necessary on Saturday afternoons this past spring - no matter how long my training ride - was a nap.  This running thing is a whole different story.  I crawled out of the sack about a half-hour ago.  I didn't sleep at all, but it sure was nice just to lie down and close my eyes for an hour.  Man, I was cashed.

Today was my first run with the group and it went.... okay.  We did five miles - from Fletcher's Boathouse to the intersection of Wisconsin Avenue and K Street and back.  I didn't make it the whole five, but I know I ran at least four.  And I finished in under an hour.  I'm not going to go around bragging about my performance at this point, but I'll take it.  For the next month or so, my goal is simply not to become discouraged.  Besides, I'm supposed to take it easy for the time being anyway.  It's a long season.  There will be opportunities later to discuss my time.  You know, once I can run five consecutive miles without stopping.
