Running (Street & Trail) 42:04 [3] 4.55 mi (9:15 / mi) +124m 8:32 / mi
Washington, D.C. From 12th & Independence Ave., SW, down The Mall along Independence Ave. and the Reflecting Pool to the Lincoln Memorial, to Ohio Dr. to the Rock Creek Trail, to Calvert St., to the Woodley Park/Zoo Metro Station. I paced my way through this run feeling slow and heavy. At least the weather was nice; 70s F and finally sunny. There were lots of runners, some cyclists, walkers, and more electric scooters than I’d seen in a long while. A few peaceful protesters were on the steps in front of the Reflecting Pool at the Lincoln Memorial using an amplifier. A park policeman who was approaching while I ran past, had the unenviable task of checking for permits.
Bicycling (Commute) 6:14 [3] 1.41 mi (4:25 / mi) +24m 4:12 / mi
From the Bethesda Metro Station to Northfield Rd. I started more wet than I finished.
