Run to Work

Bigstockphoto_running_woman_web I thought that the events of the 9/11 Memorial Dedication at the Pentagon would put Crystal City into one of its traffic gridlock days, so I decided to run to and from work -- Arlington Heights to Crystal City!

As it turns out the traffic for the day was not bad; but neither was running up the "hill of death."

I was also pleasantly surprised how little extra time (for clean up, extra time running, etc.) this cost me out of my day. There is a lot to be said for organization and having everything in one gym bag.
