Woke up ready to go for my first run after the marathon on Saturday, looked out the window looked like a perfect morning. Planed to go an easy 8.
This is why I run, and this is why I love my job. Started out in Presidential Park on Pennsylvania Ave. Ran down 14th to the Washington Monument, ran down the national mall around the Lincoln Monument and across the bridge to Arlington Cemetary. There where signs all over saying no Jogging in the Cemetary (Lame) I would have argued that I don't "jog" I "run" but figured that might get me in trouble. So I circled back and followed some joggers down a trail that led me to a great boardwalk along the Potomic river, There was some island that I'm sure has a name but I didn't catch it so I went across the bridge and followed a great dirt path through the trees that circled around the island for about 1 mile. I then headed back basically the same path I came in on since I was a bit lost. Run ended up being 9.5 miles in 1:05. Fun run, excited to go out exploring more tomorrow.
