Exercise Type: Run

Comments:
Jacob Gaba came over at 9 and together we ran out Linnean and 38th Street to the Cathedral where we met up with Ameilia Myre. The three of us tromped around the woods by the Observatory for a while, popping out in Dumbarton Oaks and cutting west across the upper parts of Georgetown just above Duke Ellington till we found another patch of woods to explore, probably a tributary trail off of Whitehaven. Though I knew where we were relative to other main streets and landmarks my familiarity with this neighborhood is quite limited. Nevertheless, my bold ventures down no-exit streets and shortcuts through allies paid off and navigating by my "I feel the presence on a trail in this vicinity" sense, found us decent places to run. We returned Amelia to her abode by the Cathedral and proceeded to hang out in the sprinkler on her lawn which she kindly turned on for us. The way home was hot and swift. I think both Jabob and I were earning our lunch on those miles, especially as we strode relentlessly up the rolling hills. By the time we back I was ready for a rest. All in all, a solid summer workout.
