I’m hanging out in Washington D.C. and visiting Iris, although she had to split a few days after I got here for a trip she had planned. She has an awesome apartment in a great area so its been nice to have that all to myself. The weather has been amazing, 60 to 80 degrees and sunny or just a little overcast.

Out of all the cities I’ve been too here are the best running cities…

1. Washington D.C. – Awesome trails all over and off the roads. I love that they have hiking all over the middle of the city and parks. Or at least where Iris lives.

2. Fayetteville AR – Only because the new bike trail.

3. Denver CO – Since I leave near the park, although I need to try out their long bike trail but I’ll have to drive to get near it. I’ll reeval once I start driving to go trail running this summer and Fall too.

4. Dublin Ireland – Mostly doesn’t have good areas but Rose leaves near a really great park with a nice long running trail around and through it. Seems to really depend on your area.

5. Boca Raton FL – Not that great, everything is near the road and side walks are many times broken with little or no warning.

Not mentioned as they don’t really have people who run due to pollution and donkey traffic, Egypt.

Well not right now but Joel and I are heading back to Fayetteville on March 6th and then back to Denver March 16th. I’m looking forward to visiting with friends, my Mom’s birthday, Joel’s Birthday (!!!!), good Thai food, seeing my sister and other family, and meeting our accountant to do taxes. Wait a second, one of those things I’m not looking forward to at all…

Sorry for the lack of updates, I’ve been working 24/7 apart from a very fun visit by Mohsen from Seattle. Had a great weekend hanging out and we even did some hiking (which surprisingly is not a code for drinking). And we also did some drinking and Foozball playing (with a z). It is too bad Zach did not come down or it would have been all four of the original dorm roommates in one location. Although maybe it is good he did not come as the world would have ended.
