"We've never tried that before!" A construction barrier says SIDEWALK CLOSED, "but not on the other side of the sign!" Dawn Patrol explores the new Beltway flyover that doesn't yet appear on maps or imagery; "Scotts Crossing" is an apt name. We pause to photograph curvy corporate artwork and a "Coexist" lawn banner guarded by a pink flamingo. K-Rex tests her strength by lifting massive concrete blocks with bent rebar handles. K2 and Roadkill sip iced coffee and applaud.

"My worst days feel like her best days!" We remember a loved one, incredibly tough despite huge health challenges. Somebody is not-tapering for an ultra tomorrow. Somebody is recovering from the 'flu, but only throws up once. Somebody is happy that the charter members of Dawn Patrol are reunited today for a lovely sunrise run together. A father supervises kids doing jumping-jacks. They smile at our cheers.
