Lot 16 abridged

July 23, 2024 (Afternoon)

Exercise Type: Run

Weather: upper 80s and humid

Comments:
Led a group with a good number of GDS boys and Kevin from STA. Klingle, bike path, Ridge Rd (with shortcut up Western ridge trail to avoid hairpin curve), Grant to Broad Branch to Brandywine to 36th to the backway. A tad longer than the 6+ I'd intended, but well short of 7. Felt like a quality steady day for the boys and me thanks to the heat, humidity, significant hills, yesterday's fartlek, and that fact that it's only mid July. Still, glad we had a big crowd for this today and that other hoppers also got down into the park and back up out of it again. Feet were achy by the end and the closed off water fountains at the DC playgrounds was a serious bummer. Trudging summer runs like this are what make October so glorious. Every week should have a day like this in the second half of summer training.
