7 Miles DC-VA-DC... Two Bridges and Three Trails

After work I ran the new loop trail I ran last Wednesday, this time with more success.  I'm enjoying this new route a lot.  It's scenic and not terribly crowded and once I get to the 14th Street Bridge it has very few road crossings.

Today the weather was cool and by the time I was finishing the 7th mile there was a slight drizzle.  But it was perfect running weather and I think that's why I was able to run further than the last time I ran this route.  However I ran about 2 hours after eating lunch and that didn't sit too well (not that there were any problems, but I felt the food still sitting in my stomach for the entire run).  Also I ran too fast a pace for this distance.  If I'd taken 15 seconds a mile off my pace I might have completed the loop (maybe).  I'll try that next time.
