2011-11-02 - WFC Metro Loop

 

~6 miles @ ~9.5 min/mi

Skip lunch: after Sunday's hard 10 miles (2011-10-30 - MCM Tempo Run with Kate and Jennifer) the old legs need a stretch. Down Great Falls Rd past Idylwood (~17 min) to Haycock (~5 min) where turn to go by the West Falls Church Metro station. Unfortunately memory of the route to Route 7 is sketchy, so brief confusion near Virginia Tech and George Mason High School. Backtrack a block before the cut-through becomes clear. Then Leesburg Pike leads past strip-malls and across I-66 on-ramps back to Pimmit Dr, which gets me to Griffith Rd and the terra cognata return route (~13 min).
