AM - 5.5 miles on the hotel treadmill in DC.  Raining this morning - and no backup shoes or clothes for a run in the rain today to allow a run tomorrow - so I stayed inside today.

AM - 7.25 miles in DC along the Mount Vernon trail along the Potomac from Crystal City - up to the bridges over to the Tidal Basin - for photos of the cherry blossoms at sunrise.  Cold, but great run.

AM - 4.25 miles in Stow, Mass - the small town outside of Boston where Riley and Sam just moved into their new home.   Very New England rural area - nice run with her dog Molly to this flood management conservation area called Delaney Pond.   Good to catch up with her and spend some time in their house with some minor home improvement projects.

No run this morning - rain / snow and only one set of shoes - and Riley wanted to run tomorrow.
