Hour run, twelve pull-ups, ab stuff. I didn’t mean for it to be an hour, but I ended up on the other side of the lake again, and there was no short way back.
The route sucked! It’s very hard to avoid running alongside busy streets around here, plus I ended up in this stretch of McMansions in Arlington and Winchester. They’re strangely desert-like. There’s no shade, and things are designed so that you feel like you shouldn’t be stopping to sit down anywhere.
I guess if it was a place that encouraged you to enjoy it, it would be a park, not a rich guys’ neighborhood. What an incredible waste of resources. (That is the story of America.)
Getting to Oak Grove Cemetery was a huge relief. Tons of shade. I had a lie down and realized dead guys have it pretty good.
