Another early morning run before the heat got too bad. It was still quite humid at 6:00am and felt hotter than it actually was. I ran with an old high school acquaintance who was in town... Mark Sedwick. He'd found me on Facebook and saw that I was running and since he runs too he contacted me. I'm glad he did. It was a new experience for me running with someone at my goal pace (we ran an average of 9:08/mile) and talking the whole time. I'm not sure I'd like to do that all the time, but as a change of pace it was very welcome.
We ran 7 miles along the Mt. Vernon trail which goes from Key Bridge in Rosslyn all the way to Mt. Vernon, all along the Potomac River. We ran from the parking lot at Roosevelt Island (a great and little-visited memorial to Teddy Roosevelt) to National Airport and back. This is a great level trail which gives you scenic views of the sun rising over DC. This was definitely worth the extra drive from Herndon.
