8 Miles - Hains Point, Tidal Basin, Lincoln Memorial and the Mall

Yesterday afternoon there was a tremendous storm front which passed through the DC area in the afternoon.  Afterward the humidity and the temperature fell to a nice comfortable level.  This morning it was crisp and cool and there was a slight breeze.  Perfect weather for running.

I left home extra early this morning so I could get downtown early and run a few extra miles.  I'm glad I did; the running seemed so effortless this morning.  Low humidity after days of horrible humidity made my lungs feel twice their normal size.  I flew through eight miles and might have done more if I didn't have to get to my desk eventually and earn my paycheck!

This weekend the weather is supposed to hold at this nice level, so I have high hopes for my long run on Saturday.
