Weather: high 80s, very humid

Comments:
After driving Leah to camp and delivering Annie to a hike at Roosevelt Island, I tied on shoes and ran up and back along the trail beside the river on the VA side. It was hot and vegetative. Footing was often challenging and I managed to fall twice, once sprawled across rocks in a stream and once at good speed into a bed of weeds. Turned back at 27:30, but returned in about 26 flat. Felt pretty wiped out from the constant high stepping over rocks and lateral motion, not to mention the heat. Gulped some water and then jogged 7 minutes onto the island to refill my water bottle and cool down. Took a good stretch and washed my wounds.
