Easy run in the Glover trails from George's house. The trails were a little bit sloppy, but we got in a decent effort. And I raced George at the end... We're still waiting for the determination from FAT timing.

I met up with the guys from the Georgetown Running Company for their Saturday morning run. It was still very cold, though not quite as bad as yesterday. The guys had a loop similar to what I did yesterday, but coming back on the CCT. Running slow made my legs feel lethargic.
Time: 88:00 (?)
Distance: 12.75 mi.
Map (approximate)
Today's National Weather Service wind-chill advisory states, "If you must venture outdoors, make sure to wear a hat and gloves." Well, I decided that two pairs of gloves were probably in order as the temperature was 12 deg. F, feels like -1 deg. F as I was heading out the door. Despite my being bundled up, I was pretty cold and honestly, a bit miserable, throughout the run. My legs felt stiff the whole way, my face was frozen, and my left sesamoid was sore by the end.
I was happy to find a good loop through the Archibald and Glover trails, the Chesapeake and Ohio towpath and back through Rock Creek Park, though, which could become a regular jaunt.
Time: 51:21
Distance: 7.5 mi.
Steps near the beginning of the Archibald-Glover Trail
Early morning run from Jilane's summer place at Massachusetts and Wisconsin NW. She took me to the Archibald-Glover trail that leads down to Georgetown and the Capitol Crescent Trail. I ran the length of the trail I only ran a few minutes on the paved Capitol Crescent Trail before turning back.
