I went for a really nice run yesterday morning, partly along the Potomac and then through other parts of DC. I started at the M Street bridge over Rock Creek Pkwy and headed south and east along the river. I briefly crossed into Virginia over the Arlington Memorial Bridge (behind the Lincoln Memorial) and then continued past Lincoln onto the Mall. I looped around the Washington Memorial and headed up towards the White House. I ran past the White House and then up Pennsylvania Avenue, back to where we were staying. It was the morning of the Cherry Blossom festival and parade, but luckily I was out before the parade so I could cross over Constitution Avenue without trouble.
