DC Downtown Monument Run

Time: 54:32
Distance: 8 miles

Meagan and I started out from Jilane's like we did yesterday, but instead we took a little bit of cash and brought our metro cards. Our goal was to run along the Rock Creek Parkway and then run through the Mall from near the Jefferson Memorial. There were quite a few tourists and runners near the reflecting pool near the Jefferson Memorial and Washington Monument. It was cool running in an area with so many significant pieces of history about in such a small amount of space. We took a quick spin up towards the Capitol and then ran back near the Smithsonian Castle before taking 12th St. up the Metro Center station. This was definitely one of the best and quickest ways to see the city on my last day in DC.

Meagan and I met up with Owen back in Woodley Park for brunch at Open City, of course. I had the OC Royale which involved 2 eggs (over easy), 3 pieces of bacon, hashbrowns, an english muffin and french toast. I ate it all and helped Meagan finish her pancakes. Oh yea, we also had a chocolate muffin for dessert.
