When I first started doing the Pacer's Fun Runs, the course they ran was this out-and-back in Rock Creek to Calvert Street. I decided to do that, but instead of the out-and-back, I turned it into a loop. A loop with a hill in the middle. I ended up walking most of that hill, but it was a fun loop. Rock Creek was shaded and there were plenty of people around. I got to run through Woodley Park and Adams Morgan and do mental good-byes to those areas. And it was a nice 4 mile loop. Granted, it should have been about 6 miles longer, but I wasn't carrying any water with me and while it was only in the high 70s, it was still humid and sunny.
Now in honor of the 4th, I'm baking a cake that I will decorate like a flag and take to work tonight. Yep, working tonight and at Brew at the Zoo!
Mental goodbyes makes me sad. But I am very happy for you! How did the cake turn out?
