Yesterday I ended up running nearly 18 miles, but not all at once though. I ran from Ballston to Theodore Roosevelt Island, where I met up with the Miles Ahead running group. Then we ran from there up the Capital Crescent Trail (yet again) and I went just past the Mile 4 marker to Little Falls Expressway. http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=2119535
The route I mapped above is not chronologically correct, since it shows me doing the Capital Crescent loop first, and then the run through Arlington. But it was easier to create this way....
Anyways, after the run I was literally dripping in sweat. Every part of my skin was saturated in sweat. And even with my sweat-wicking clothes, they were drenched and I could easily wring sweat from my shorts. It seriously looked like I had taken a shower (but I'm sure none of us smelled that great!) I had started out with a full Camelbak and it was completely empty when I finished my run.
Even though summer running might be hard, it just feels so wonderful to be so thoroughly sweaty afterwards and really feel like I got an awesome workout. I'm getting way bored of always running the same route with the group- next weekend I'm heading off on my own and will either hit the W&OD trail or the Mt. Vernon trail, and maybe even make a loop around East Potomac Park.
