Rock Creek Park

Time: 50+ mins.
Distance: ~7 miles

Owen and Ozzie were kind fellows and picked Aja Clark and I up from the BWI airport this afternoon. It was great seeing Ozzie again (although there is no way his fat ass is going to run fast at the 8k he's been training for). We immediately headed for Rock Creek Park to drop Oz off at the Nike truck which is a behemoth. I heard the thing was a monster, but it's like a short semi (if I wanted to see a short semi, I'd talk to Wee Man).

Owen, Aja and I headed back to Colin's (Owen's buddy from high school) apartment to change clothing and then we were out the door to return to Rock Creek Park. Owen showed us some pretty sweet trails in the park, trails that he used to run at 5:45 am when he lived in DC a couple summers ago. The trees were turning colors along our route and it was hard to imagine that we were running in one of the biggest cities in the US. Overall, the run was a great way to see the park and catch up with Aja and Owen.

Later in the day we picked up Jilane from work and then headed to the Marine Corps Marathon expo to bug Meagan and her Brooks friends.
