Since I'm tired and sleepy, I'll run through what I did this three day weekend.
Friday night: went to the gym, then to Momo's on U Street in DC. Night before party for people like me who are fans of the United States National Soccer Team. Good time, got to see some of the Sox game too.
Saturday: woke up at 8:15, ate three pieces of toast and chugged a Powerade, barely making it to my friend's house for a ten mile run at 9. Finished the run, ate dinner, watched some football, and went to the World Cup Qualifier. USA is on to the final qualifying round in the CONCACAF region after pounding Cuba 6-1. Awesome seeing friends, tailgating for a bit, and seeing the win most importantly. Not even the pizza place off Potomac Avenue trying to charge us extra to sit down and eat put a damper on the night.
Sunday: woke up, chilled, went for a 2 hour plus trail run at Great Falls Park and Riverbend Park, VA. It was one of those times where I wanted to leave by a certain time, but got into a groove running and kept on going until I got tired. Then I walked back to my car and went towards home. I had a good time at Murphys on Sunday even though the Pats got their asses handed to them by the Chargers.
Monday: slept in, did little before going to the gym, then the Caps game. A 5-1 demolition of Vancouver, they were outshooting the Canucks 25-3 after two periods! Michael Nylander scored on a penalty shot and assisted on at least two goals, Alexander Semin had two sweet goals, and the Caps did this without getting much from Ovechkin at all, save for a couple of crushing hits. He had an off night and the Caps still dominated. A good sign for them going forward.
More future events, I want to get some hiking in this fall in the worst way. Some of the trips I plan to take are:
- Part of Ashby Gap to Chester Gap
- Sky Meadows State Park
- Harpers Ferry / Maryland Heights again
- White Oak Canyon link, link
- Old Rag Mountain
- The Priest Mountain
If anyone has any other suggestions for me to hike in the area, please leave comments, I'm always open to new trails.

If you need a hiking buddy, hit me up... I can hang in there! One other decent hike (but I have not done it recently) was Little Devils Stairs.
Will do! I think I hiked part of Little Devils Stairs last summer when I did a sixteen mile trip from Washington, VA to Mount Marshall and back. I want to get some Saturday hikes in before daylight savings time ends. Nov 1 I'm going to run an 8K at GMU and hike somewhere afterwards since I'll be halfway to the trails already!
