20 miles: Monuments and Tourists

20 miles.

Today, I joined a different pace group since we leave for the beach tomorrow.

I joined the waterside group that meets not too far from the Fish Market Area of Southeast Washingon. We met at 6 am, and about 6:25 we were off and running Northward toward the Mall. We ran arond the mallside face of the Capitol, down the mall, and turned left at the Lincoln Memorial, curved around the Kennedy Center, down through the Georgetown Waterfront and onto the Capital Crescent Trail for 10 miles. The Mall was deserted on the way out, but upon the return, we were dodging hundreds of tourists. We made our way back and finished 20 miles. I am thrilled once again to have finished. My shins, calves, and back held up very well. Special thanks to my Dad and Mother-in-law who watched the kids while I ran today.



Special thanks also to:
