Longest Run Ever

January 9, 2010 (Night)

Exercise Type: Run

Comments:
Parked at Van Ness Metro. Down Soapstone Valley to Rock Creek Park to Georgetown, up canal towpath to Capital Crescent trail to Bethesda, down Wisconson to Ft. Reno, 38th St. to Sidwell, and back to Van Ness.

Sometimes slow up to an 8:30 pace but really flying along the canal. Breathing hard coming up Crescent trail but felt relaxed. Totally peaceful, calm; trail all to myself in the dark, light dusting of snow; wasn't thinking about time or pace - just one of those precious runs where your mind just wanders and you never get bored. Didn't want it to end. Felt good, no exhaustion, when I finished.
