I was in DC for a conference for most of March. The house we stayed at was right by Rock Creek park. great running trails i had a blast. today did the Valley trail in rock creek park for a short distance. i went with my coworker Greg. i surprised him with the trail i don't think he was super happy he wanted to do something more flat.

Loved the trail yesterday so did the Western ridge trail today for a short distance around the house. It was great running a little confusing at times and I had to stop to look up directions several times.

Wanted to run to the LDS temple in DC. I looked on the map it was about 6 miles away. I thought I could run up there and then catch the subway to get almost back home. So i Went out and run thhrough Rock Creek Park up to the temple. It was a beautiful run adn i was glad I did it. I didn't want to run the 7 miles it turned out to be to get back home. So i looked to where the nearest metro station was. It turned out to be 3 miles away. i ran there and then got off where i thought I was closeest to home and ran/bushwhacked the last 2 miles home through a portion of rock creek park in the dark. I should have just ran back the way i came it would have been way easier. Fun exploring trip though.
