I was excited to fill in for Tim today and support Team Thursday.

I ran a loop along Rock Creek Parkway and through the National Zoo. While the run is only just a little over two miles, it’s always a tough workout for me. The half mile or so through the Zoo is entirely uphill and plays mental tricks on me the whole way up. And, with the heat in DC today, it was extra hard.

Honestly, recognizing how small my silly half-mile struggle was in comparison to the enormous sacrifice our military makes on a daily basis got me through the run.

Matt Wood ran for an hour and worked out on Grand Cayman Island today for the 68th day of the 365 Day Challenge.

While Nick Karwoski is injured, he is still the superstar of our group. Today he did a 21.2 mile bike ride for the 365 Day Challenge.

Thanks to Dan Sarsfield who ran 5.99 miles today in Brooklyn, NY. You can see his route below.
