2015-05-13 - East on the WOD

 

~10.0 miles @ ~12.3 min/mi

"Hair?" I ask, spotting what looks like a 'Fro of Legendary Diameter on one of the kids walking to school along the opposite side of Westmoreland St. Kerry and Kristin confirm the sighting. Students trudge with eyes downcast, as if on their way to prison. The morning is cool and breezy, a crisp contrast to the humidity earlier this week.

We explore new territory on the W&OD Trail, past the East Falls Church Metro and Benjamin Banneker Park. At the "Brandymore Castle" rock outcropping I reminisce about visiting the woods at mile ~40 of the 2010-10-09 - Andiamo 2010 ultramarathon after eating too many pineapple rings earlier. Today is trash day, but I find no treasures in the cans I check along the sidewalk.
