Arlington Memorial Bridge 8 Mile Run

It's been a busy week, and challenging to get all the training runs in, but somehow I've managed. This is one of my favorite runs in DC. I did it Monday following the 14 mile trail run in Shenandoah National Park.


It's an 8 mi route down Rock Creek express to the Arlington Memorial bridge. There is always a good stop off here between the Lincoln Memorial and the Potomac River for running stairs, which is the best agility training you can get in a city for simulating climbing and descending steep trails.

You might also recognize the Memorial Bridge from the movie Burn after Reading, when George Clooney's character runs across it. If you haven't caught this Coen bros. flick yet, I recommend it!
