This will be another super-early-because-it's-too-freaking-hot run. But hey, at least you get it done early enough to enjoy your day and even get back to bed for a nap, no?

Let's get back to the Capital Crescent Trail, it's not the most interesting route, but it's shaded. So let's take a bit of shelter from the scorching sun, and run on the CCT!

We'll start up at the Roosevelt Island parking lot (free parking). It's walking distance from the metro (just take the trail on the right, right before the Key Bridge, but I heard the metro is not open at 7am yet?). For those of you driving, please note that the parking lot is ONLY accessible from the northbound lane of GW parkway. You will see it right after the Roosevelt Bridge. Of course, street parking is also available in Rosslyn, just remember to put money in the meter.

We will be going up to Rosslyn, crossing the Key Bridge, and taking the paved Capital Crescent Trail (right next to the C&O Canal unpaved trail). If you want a shorter long run, join us for 60 minutes, for those marathon training, your goal is to run 15 miles. Or of course, you can go as short or as long as you want to.

Those of you who cannot run that long, no worries. A walk/run pace is perfectly fine.

I hope to see you then!

Those training for the Marine Corps Marathon are scheduled to run 12 miles this morning.
