It's SUNDAY....long run day. Ran from the house down to the W&OD trail until I picked up the Custis Trial at mile marker four. From there, took the Custis for all its four miles until I got into Rosslyn where I picked up the Potomac River trail. Follow that trail for about one mile until I got to the Roosevelt bridge to head into downtown DC. Ran next to all the monuments along the mall on the way up to the Capitol building. Up the capitol hill, yes..there really is a hill there, and headed down to Eastern Market. Total run was 15 miles in 1:57:48. Nice pace where I only started to tire at about mile 14. After the run, I met fellow blogger Lucia, who is well on the road to recovery and look great from all her cross training, and we wandered the market, tasting the free fruits and veggies and eating crepes. All the food was outstanding and I'm now annoyed with myself for not getting veggies down there. The plan is to put some good mileage on the legs early in the week since I'm visiting my best friend in NY and his family during the latter portion of the week as well as the weekend. As of now, I'm shooting for 30+ miles for the week. As I write this, I have a fantastic doggies snoozing next to me...life is good. Have a great week bloggers!
