Carderock
In the vein of varying terrain and location, I took the opportunity to run along the C&O canal today.
The canal is hard-packed fine gravel, and is an ideal surface for running and biking.
I had the day off for finals, the weather was gorgeous this morning, and there’s no better way to reduce stress than running!
I started at the last parking lot at Carderock. After running along the Canal for about 2.5 miles I headed into the woods on an offshoot that connects to the Billy Goat trail. Running through the woods was fun and exhilarating. Jumping from rock to rock, over fallen trees and roots. I felt like a wolf :)
Perhaps I’ll pick up a little more trail running this summer :)
Oh yeah, and I think I did pretty well on my exam!
