Washington, DC: A runner's world

Heyyy,

Yesterday I set out for a 7.5-miler but ended up doing 10 miles (!)....and it was awesome! I swear I had runner's high the entire time (or I was just having a blast taking pictures). I took my CrackBerry along to some pics so you can see this gorgeous city. If you ever travel to DC, pack your running shoes. How else can you see all of this in one trip?

Leaving la casa; Downtown Georgetown (M street):




Along the canal:


View from Scott Key bridge (heading to VA) overlooking Potomac River, Kennedy Center, and Washington Monument:



1/2 mile of wooden bridge along Potomac (Rosslyn, VA):



Runners everyyywhere:



My favorite spot in the spring. Flower patches everywhere along the river's edge (Arlington, VA):


Arlington Memorial Bridge heading back to DC:







Running some stairs in front of Lincoln Memorial:

AMAZING. Try bringing your camera on a run sometime, it really makes the time go by and is a lot of fun!

  2. Can I just say that I LOVE your blog?! I lived in DC this past summer and did research in a chemistry lab (I'm a senior in college) and absolutely loved my time there. Great pics and posts-I like your perspective!

  3. What a great idea! I like to take scenic runs when I'm visit a city, but man, you are lucky to live in DC! Great sites every where you turn. I think I'm going to have to try that here in Florida...not that many great sites to see but there's always the beach :-)
