The great outdoors

Do runners scout possible running routes as they go about the city?

I woke up this morning thinking that I could run around all the blocks that surround the White House. It is part of my obsession of finding routes that are not interrupted by traffic lights (and traffic). With a few minor glitches (the timing of the warm up walk), I can report that it is a very long uninterrupted loot that I will take advantage of for many weeks to come.

I had a 6 minute run, 45 second walk, 3 minute run. Piece of cake!
