Washington, D.C. From the Woodley Park Metro Station, I ran down into Rock Creek Park, crossed through Dumbarton Oaks to Glover Archbold Park via the Dumbarton Oaks Trail and the Wesley Heights Trail. From there, I ran up the Glover Archbold Trail and out to the Tenleytown Metro Station via Van Ness St. and Wisconsin Ave. I couldn't get to sleep the night before so all day I was dragging. This kept up as I went to run after work so right away I just planned on not pushing it. The hills along the way were still enough to get me breathing hard at times. It was in the low 60s F. I saw a solitary full grown deer just a few feet away from me high up in the Dumbarton Oaks dell if you can call it that. It was just before hitting Whitehaven St., not far from the very busy Wisconsin Ave.
When climbing hills, I had a little discomfort a few times on my right leg on the right side, below and to the knee. This was different and less severe from last week when I felt sharp pain on the left side of the right knee when encountering resistance moving forward. After the run, I had to work on my big toenail on my right foot, removing a bit more than the northwest quarter of it. Somehow it had cracked horizontally and was starting to tear somewhat vertically.
