Rock Creek Park, MD (Candyland parking) After Peggy ran and I'd finished talking with Rich Feliciano about how it's harder to train and set serious goals with kids (Max, Miles and Rich's youngest son Reed were playing at the playground and we just happened to run into each other), I went for a run northward up the Rock Creek trail, then looping through the Linden La. trails. The trails were soft from recent rains but not altogether muddy. It was warm enough for shorts and a t-shirt. It was nice. These trails might make a nice Summer Short Series map. Almost 6 minutes into the run, my left calf started to hurt--just around the time I saw some other guy limping along going the other way. It loosened up okay but on the return, both calfs were tight and hurting a bit. I tried to open it up on the return on the paved trail. My feet felt heavy even though there wasn't much mud on my shoes. Earlier in the day we went to Haines Point to see the Awakening one last time before they dismantle and move it--he was afraid of it even though others were climbing around a lot (he did slide down the uplifted knee piece. This will probably be Max's only time seeing it. Rich said there is the Storm King Arts Center up near Harriman/West Point in NY with some similar neat sculptures that are somewhat kid interesting--perhaps well see it some time.
