Early morning run

Dropje woke up at 6.30 am today and due to a busy social schedule I decided to go for a morning run.

I'm glad that I put in the 4 miles, but running in the morning does have its drawbacks. Most of all, since I just woke up my legs don't feel as great, and after this run I actually felt my left knee again (no pain, but I felt it). Also, I had to take a real break halfway. Anyway, Saturday is my next run and tonight and tomorrow night are now free for social events.

Didn't record my time since I wanted to run slowly.

Celebrating 50 years of The Holland America Club of the Pacific Northwest

Almost fifty years ago, on a beautiful day in November 1962, a few “early Dutch settlers” founded The Holland America Club of the Pacific Northwest. The word is out, its official, the HAC will turn 50 in November, and you are invited to celebrate this important milestone of Dutch American Heritage in the Pacific Northwest.

Clarendon Day 5k run

Today I ran my first road race in two years, a 5k that is part of Clarendon Day. John and I met up at 7.30 am and walked to the start, a few blocks from our apartment building.

The race went very well. The first mile was downhill over Wilson Boulevard, and we passed our house after a few minutes. At the first mile mark I saw that I was doing 6 minutes a mile -- clearly not sustainable -- and I slowed down afterwards but still ended with a personal record: 24:37 minutes. I managed to sprint the last 200 yards.

We went for drinks and breakfast at Whitlows on Wilson. A great morning.
