Took an inadvertent week off of running, due to cold weather and rain/sleet on Thursday and Saturday mornings. Since no one else was going to be around Tuesday morning, I postponed my run until after work (when it was a bit warmer) and ran through Takoma Park to Sligo Creek Park, running along the stream up to Piney Branch and then back.

All in all it’s a nice run, although that hill coming back out of Sligo Creek into Takoma… eek! It’s steeper than it looks going down. Afterward I did find one small tweak I’ll make (to avoid having to run on the shoulder of the road right before entering the park area) but it’s a nice route overall.
