Got most of the running group (Ben, John, Stephanie, Steve) to come up to my neck of the woods and we did a run all around my stomping grounds. The first four were with just Ben, John, and Steve, and we ran along the bottom edge of the old Walter Reed Medical Center, up 16th St to the border with Maryland, then down Eastern Ave and Blair Rd back home. Picked up Stephanie and ran 8 miles through Takoma Park and Sligo Creek Park and back; dropped off John and did two final miles down into Manor Park and back. Stephanie’s running the NYC Marathon next weekend and John’s recovering from an injury, so we had all sorts of different mileages and a bit of a taper going on, but it was all good. Lovely weather, good scenery, fantastic company.
