		<title>Is it Fall yet?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I think everyone on the East Coast is ready for the Fall. We had a crappy winter with the Snowpocalypse and Snowmmagedon, summer and her 90 degree starting in May, and wicked back-to-back-to-back storms in a matter of weeks knocking out power and flooding streets. Needless to say, cooler temps and lower humidity can come [...]]]></description>

		<title>Chipping away at goals</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I would love to run a 6:30 mile, have a sub-5 minute Fran, and deadlift 2x my bodyweight, but right now that&#8217;s not a reality. Heck, I&#8217;m still working on stringing together 5 kipping pull ups, pistols, and more than 20 consecutive double unders. I&#8217;m definitely chipping away at my goals &#8211; mile after mile, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Putting the training to the test</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My last two weeks of training have consisted of 400m repeats, 9 minute time trial, 4 x 5K repeats, 3 x 7 minute repeats, and a 10k time trial. 10 miler training? Half marathon training? Marathon? Close. On tap this weekend is the Catherine&#8217;s Fat Ass 50K &#8211; a no fee, no t-shirt, limited aid [...]]]></description>

		<title>Beat the heat</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The temps have been in the low 100s with the heat index making it feel 5-8 degrees warmer than that. Brutal! As we train for road/trail runs in the coming months, it was nice to get in the pool this week for a 2:1x 6 swim workout. However, it&#8217;s always interesting when you walk onto [...]]]></description>

If you&#8217;re new to trail running, this is a great event to get you out there kicking the rocks.

		<title>Summer is here!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sorry for the delay in posting. Things should be posted more regularly now. Summer is officially here in Washington, DC. Temps are supposed to be in the 90s every day, humidity near 100%, and there&#8217;s a chance of thunderstorms every day. Does it get any better than this?? A couple runners participated in the Father&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>Certification</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A few weekends ago, I attended the Crossfit Endurance certification at Rare Crossfit in Fredricksburg, VA. This was my second time participating and I learned so much more the second time around. The coaches were very grateful in answering my numerous questions about nutrition and  programming. We&#8217;re all students and can always learn something new [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hill repeats on The Hill</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We hit up Capitol Hill for some repeats up the south side of the Capitol. It was a good night of baseline testing as we didn&#8217;t do too many nor did we go too far up the hill. That&#8217;s not to say that we didn&#8217;t go all out each repeat. We made sure to get [...]]]></description>

		<title>Short speed</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We used Monday as a recovery day after a weekend of racing, so it was a good chance to spend more time on the drills. We usually spend about 20 minutes of each workout doing drills, but we spent about 45 mintues working on pulling and falling before spending the last 15 minutes (and some [...]]]></description>
