Event: QOC Occoquan
 

Glencoe, MD. From Glencoe Rd., Peggy and I ran the North Central Rail to the old train station at Monkton, and then we ran back. Earlier we'd seen Max run a Cross Country race at nearby Hereford H.S.; purportedly where the MD State XC Championships are sometimes held. The trail was somewhat hard; parts of it seemed to be concrete. It was about as busy as the Capital Crescent Trail is during a weekday. The trail was graded nicely and scenic most of the time as it parallels and criss-crosses the Big Gunpowder Falls creek.

I didn't feel that well on this run but I was glad to have been able to do it at all. After what seemed to be hamstring pain yesterday, I had less when I woke up this morning. Walking around to see Max's race did more to loosen it up or something. It didn't bother me after a short way into the run. The grade wasn't much, but I did feel it in my quads.

Great Falls Park, MD. It had gotten hot outside and I was tired. It was well past 4pm when I got out into the park and it was still 90 F. The temperatures cooled as time passed. I updated vegetation mostly but there were some rootstocks and even some ditches that I took tracks of.
