From Rockville Pike, just beyond Randolph Rd., Randolph Rd. to the Rock Creek Trail to Cedar Lane to Rockville Pike, up the NIH trail to Old Georgetown Rd. via Maple Dr. then back to Rosdale Ave. via Northbrook La. and Battery La. I stuck w/the plan not to ride today to heal the back and it's much better. After work I was fortunate to have Peggy and Max drive me up to HTO to look for some trail running shoes, then run back. I'll use the shoes in the Rogaine(s) I'm planning on doing with Dave Onkst. I've always used O-shoes for the short 8 hour variety before. I'm not sure what to get but Montrail, Salomon, Vasque and Nike models hold some interest; not sure about whether to go w/Goretex or not. Shopping for shoes while Max is hungry is probably not the best way to approach it. I'll look more later. Splits on the trail: 6:59, 6:55, 7:04. I didn't have a good feel for pace. My legs got heavy in the middle then I got a second wind.
