Long run with Dan around Rock Creek Park. Pace wasn't too fast. Dan was feeling a little sick and I didn't want to push the pace too much as this was my longest run in a while. I settled in and eventually wanted to go faster. My legs did eventually get tired and sore. There was a technical section near the end which really ripped into my legs.
We pretty much ran north to the start of the Valley trail took that North all the way to the horse stables. Then turned around and ran back south on the West Ridge Trail. Both trails were well marked except on the north end of the park where it seemed they weren't marked at all.
This was my first time on these trails. I was very impressed. Some of the trails open for horses were very muddy and torn up as usual.
