In Rock Creek Park, at the Washington, D.C./Maryland border, Max and I did the Boundary Lines loop (Valley Trail to Beech Dr. and up to the Western Ridge Trail to get back). Max hadn't run in a long while but I hadn't been doing much running lately either. Starting out, Max took off. He'd thought we were going out and back but he was too far ahead for me to tell him otherwise. After a mile, he'd turned back, but I got him going again. He was certainly pulling me along to run faster than I would have. I was pretty slow on the climbs but I did pass another runner. Me left knee felt okay with this being unpaved ground. I wore my road shoes which are more cushioned than my trail shoes.

From Northfield Rd. I ran up to Custer Rd., to Wilson La., to Exeter Rd. to Glenbrook Rd. to the Bethesda Trolley Trail, to the NIH grounds, to Maple Ridge Rd. to Georgetown Pike, to Huntington Pkwy., to Custer Rd. to Northfield Rd. I was testing my left knee. It felt better running this day than the last time I ran about a week ago.

30 sit-ups.

Walking with Samantha in Cabin John Regional Park. From the southern ball fields, we walked forest trails along the creek going clockwise toward the power lines, then looping back to ball fields. It was rather nice out.
