Meagan and I made the drive up to DC yesterday with a brief stop in Richmond, VA to visit Disco Sports. They are all about their Orthaheel sandals which is awesome to see. Our friend Jilane made a great Mexican dinner in honor of my presence and I got to see some friends that live in our nation's capital.
Come morning, it was time to lace up the shoes and head out for a run. Running in DC is one of the best urban venues for the sport. There are countless trails and bike paths to run along and it's always fun to sight see all of the monuments during the run. Today we decided that it would be cool to visit Teddy Roosevelt Island where our 26th President has his monument. I had never been out on the island's trails or seen the monument so it was cool to do both all at once. After running through the National Mall we made our way across into Virginia and onto the island for a single loop around the trail.
I gotta call out our host for her lack of fitness, but it was fun times being in the city with a great friend and touring Washington DC. Actually, it was good to just be running again in general. There were all sorts of tourists out walking from monument to monument which we did in less than 90 minutes: Washington Monument, Lincoln Memorial, WWII, Teddy Roosevelt, and some others I'm forgetting.
