Loved the trail yesterday so did the Western ridge trail today for a short distance around the house. It was great running a little confusing at times and I had to stop to look up directions several times.

Wanted to run to the LDS temple in DC. I looked on the map it was about 6 miles away. I thought I could run up there and then catch the subway to get almost back home. So i Went out and run thhrough Rock Creek Park up to the temple. It was a beautiful run adn i was glad I did it. I didn't want to run the 7 miles it turned out to be to get back home. So i looked to where the nearest metro station was. It turned out to be 3 miles away. i ran there and then got off where i thought I was closeest to home and ran/bushwhacked the last 2 miles home through a portion of rock creek park in the dark. I should have just ran back the way i came it would have been way easier. Fun exploring trip though.

Great run in the snow. I ran along the western ridge trail in Rock Creek park. it is amazing that you can feel pretty isolated in the middle of the big city running in that park. great change for a desert runner.

Short run through rock creek park to find my hat which I lost the day before. It was still there on the trail. It was windy and cold and i didn't feel like going out. I guess it was good i lost my hat.

Wanted to go and run some in Virginia. Unfortunately virginia is like 6 miles from my house. Oh well ran through Rock Creek park and joined up on another trail that let to the potomac and crossed over ran down the virginia side to Arlington Cemetery and then crossed back over into DC and rode the bus home from downtown. It was a very rainy run and slick in a lot of places. Also the trail cut through several streams that i think aren't really a big deal usually, but witht he storm they were pretty full and hard to get across.
