Ran with the amazing Molly Roberts (nickname on the team: MoRa), who the newspaper readers among you may know from: https://www.washingtonpost.com/people/molly-roberts/

Now I am pretty worn out, thanks to back-to-back runs w/ Ilana and Molly (I had about 15 minutes in between during which I stretched at the Zeilingers' while chatting with Ilana's mom Laura and with Liam, before dashing over to Molly's for what I thought would be a short cool down run. Last few times we've run it's been like 11-minute pace for 3-4 miles. Molly, however, is in the best shape of her life. I was thoroughly surprised when she said she wanted to go 5 or 6 and then suggested we add on more when we were out on the Crescent Trail. We ran from her folks' house off near Reno and 38th Streets and basically ran through Biersteker's neighborhood down Little Falls Branch to the CCT and up to Bethesda. We hit a 8:30 pace on the trail and continued chatting the whole way. I was duly impressed.
