Workout: medium-long run, 12mi.

Another early test, and I felt pretty good throughout. To help with hydration, I loaded my fuel belt with 20oz. of Gatorade for the trip. The run took me from the Ruffner Road HQ to just past National Airport along the MVT, and back. A pretty good morning for running.

Unfortunately, many other marathon enthusiasts felt the same, as the trail was littered with numerous runners and training groups. One in particular, the Potomac Runners, seemed to not understand the purpose of the dotted yellow line down the center of the path, as they were running in groups 3, 4 and 5-across.
