6:20 PM - Dulles Corner/Dulles Station (new condos and offices) - 31 Degrees
Something came over me as I was packing my gym bag on my lunch break. I didn't want to run on the treadmill again, I'd do whatever I could to avoid it! So I committed... packing all the layers and gear I'd need. I also snagged the safety light - I figured it'd be perfect to make sure I was noticeable and just in case someone scary came across my path it had a very loud and annoying whistle on the end.
I was excited, Zoe and I have run here before - it's a little over 2 miles when you start from my office's parking garage. After a safety first pep-talk from Shannon and a quick photo op I was off. The weather wasn't bad at all, I had picked the right layers and I felt great. I finished the original loop and decided to do it again, down to intersection of Sunrise Valley and Centreville Rd and back. A few more loops in the center of the new office complex and I headed back to my office.
I was extremely pleased with the end result - 5.13 miles in 1:02:10!
