From my office, I can get anywhere in the "downtown" area of the city within 15 minutes of running time. Additionally, Rock Creek cuts diagonal-like right through the city and allows me to create great loops. Last evening I explored the trails up near the Naval Observatory...but found NOTHING of any interest. I went back to my maps and will try today to find some trails that connect Dumbarton Oaks to White Haven to Glover Archibald. On my way back from exploring a side trail off of Oak Hill Cemetery, I nearly flipped over backwards after striking a root with my foot. My entire body lunged forward, but my back somehow stayed straight. My right palm slammed the ground, but other than that I remained up right. The next couple of strides felt brutal, but the pain quickly melted into the body.
I am trying to get in 70 this week and keep the miles between 75-85 for the remainder of the year. No surges. No upticks. Only maintentance mileage and weekly workouts. It's time to get some training under the legs again.

I usually leave work around 6 or 6:15 or so...I could meet you at a pre-determined spot...maybe RCP & M Street?
Or what would be mid-way between me and you? I am at Farragut North.
This is an old whitehaven route I used in HS.

(Roughly sketched)
6:20 at RCP and M street today (Tuesday)?
Jake
See you there and then. I will meet you above (on M Street).
We can try Mr. Towpath's loop, maybe? That should get you back closer to home (ie - C Park)
This sounds like a "rest stop" style liaison...or something you'd see on Craigslist
