4.20+ miles, 51:53
I tried a different part of Rock Creek today. More problems with lost mileage. This felt more like a 6 mile run and at 51 minutes I’m certain it was a lot longer than the 4.2 miles the GPS recorded. Today’s run was along the Valley trail which runs up the east side of the park. I started at Carter Baron and made my way north towards Maryland. Parts of this trail were quite challenging and it seems like a good route. I also ran into more runners than usual along this route. Eventually I’m going to try to combine this route with a road route that starts and ends at my front door.
