Saint Paul, MN. From Forbes Ave. I took a bike trail to St. Clair Ave. The over the highway and into the woods for a bit before backing out, then up to Osceola Ave, then streets along the bluff to Grand Ave., and back to Forbes Ave. I ran pretty slowly just to loosen my legs and get them used to running again. I was feeling pretty tired from lack of sleep all week. The victorian houses I ran past were neat and though it wasn't dark yet, candles were set out in a whole lot of bags for an upcoming party.

From Northfield Rd., Bethesda, MD, the Bethesda Metro Station. The road was damp but it was warm for this time of the year.

From the Bethesda Metro Station to Arlington Rd.

From Arlington Rd. to Northfield Rd. pushing my bike and walking with Max as it was getting dark.

From Northfield Rd., to 12th and C Street, SW, Washington, D.C. I rode my road bike after taking Max to school. I was slightly overdressed again but I'm not really sure how warm it was. It was just warm enough to inspire me to ride in. The winds were calm. I passed other riders but rather slowly, keeping a steady pace and feeling tired from early-on.

From 12th & C St. SW, Washington, D.C. to Northfield Rd., Bethesda, MD. I had a nice ride home in the dark. There were a few other cyclists out but I saw only one runner the whole lenghth of the trail. It was nice not to have to wear my jacket. I was appropriately comfortable with the air still warmish for this time of year.

Washington, D.C. From 14th & Independence Ave., SW, down The Mall along Independence Ave. and the Reflecting Pool to the Lincoln Memorial, to Ohio Dr. to the Rock Creek Trail, to Calvert St., to the Woodley Park/Zoo Metro Station. I was taking it fairly easy and was overdressed for the mild weather--somewhere between 45 and 50F.
