From near the Intersection of Connecticut Ave., and Beach Dr., I ran the Rock Creek Trail up to Clearbrook Ln. then back. With all of the rain and other issues, I hadn't run much lately. I was not up for a long run and thought it better to keep it moderate. I never felt very smooth, probably due to weight as much as anything. Going out along the creek was basically flat but upstream. I tried to keep a steady pace but felt like I was fading before halfway. The downstream return helped me not only keep pace but get faster. I put more effort into holding my pace and just didn't know what pace I was running the last 2 miles as I got faster. My shoes were sometime slipping on mosses on the damp pavement. I weighed-out at 187 lbs.
