Milo and the Calf

1:30:18

YES! Just got back from my long run, and it was ten miles in 1:30:18 without stopping the watch for lights. I’m so stoked. I know for most runners, a nine minute mile pace isn’t a big deal but for me, coming off an injury and on a run this long, it felt amazing. Seriously amazing. I felt so strong in the last couple of miles I probably could have pushed the pace a little harder. Getting faster feels so good.

Anyway, things I saw today on my long run:
1.    DC Police searching the bushes in Rock Creek park armed with dogs and shotguns. Fun.
2.    Two ridiculously fast dudes who make me realize how far I have to go to be any good.
3.    A memorial remembering the Tiananmen Square Massacre
4.    And lot of DCites and tourists enjoying a really gorgeous day in the Nation’s capital.

    I have loved every run I’ve ever done down in D.C. I usually run past as many of the monuments as I can, and I love being a tourist that way, but not looking like one! Where is Rock Creek Park?

      Running is a great way to see D.C., especially the area around the mall. Rock creek park is in North West D.C. running though my neighborhood (Mt Pleasant), Tenley Town and along the edge of Georgetown down to the mall. Its a gorgeous park, much less developed than, say, Central Park in NY. If you’re ever in DC again it is worth checking out!
