Bethesda, MD. From the parking lot near 46th St. and Leeland St., through the parking lot and the park to the Georgetown Branch Trail, then to Connecticut Ave. and back. I felt pretty slow and fairly awful during this run. I'd been very busy all week and I just haven't gotten enough running in.

Disney's Port Orleans Riverside Resort, FL. From lodge 34, I started out going around Sassagoula Circle and I took a detour on Old South Rd. trying to get to the trail along the Sassagoula River (we'd taken a ferry home from Port Disney the night before and I saw the trail there then). Old South Rd. wasn't supposed to be one of the tourist areas and as I got within 100m of the river trail, I could see fencing ahead, where there was employee housing. I turned back getting to Sassagoula Circle again and continued clockwise but as I did, I saw the employee propaganda on signs leading back to the touristed resort area. The signs were all meant to ensure good business and the happiness of the customers. They were 4-5 consecutive signs to remind the employee to do all they could to provide good service. They just tended to remind me of the iconic posters out of the old Soviet Union. The trip to Florida was pretty nice and fairly relaxing. I caught-up on some sleep and enjoyed walking around all day. The rides weren't bad either.
