Feeling frisky!

Exercise Type: Run

Comments:
Jacob Gaba drove over to my parents house this morning and we set off for what I'd assured him would be 6-8 miles, maybe 9-10 if I was feeling good. Two hours later, we cruised through the 16.0 mark a block from my house, setting a new mileage PR for Jacob and my longest run since... February. But seriously guys, I stopped training for the Boston marathon nearly a month ago and this run was more than my total mileage last week. It was a glorious run; swift pace (mostly 7:30s), great (wide) trails, and meandering path through DC east of the park, and a fun time exploring Sligo Creek Trail and Forest Glen Annex architecture. We successfully connected the Sligo Creek and Rock Creek Park trails by running along Forest Glen Road just north of the Beltway. My legs felt great throughout, like they just wanted to go. By the end of the run, the gloomy overcast sky had receded a the sun was shining, and it was turning into a beautiful warm day. WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE!
