Today I’m joining Bradley Lane, one of my fellow Altra Ambassadors, on the trails around Washington DC for a few easy miles.

Finding Trails in the Urban Environment

Unbeknownst for many people, Washington DC has some seriously technical trails to run in the area. And even inside of DC proper, there is nearly 35 miles worth of trails to run on.

Just because Bradley lives in our nation’s capital, it doesn’t mean that he’s stuck pounding the pavement.

When I asked Derrick about his favorite distance to race, I wasn’t surprised to hear him name an ultra distance race. And his reasoning was predictable: longer races give him more time to be in nature and on the trails.

And for someone with his eye for a good scene, that’s not surprising in the least.

Shawnee Mission Park–The Best Place to Run in Lenexa/Overland Park/Olathe/Shawnee KS Area

1 Comment/in , /by

I’ve never realized how hard it is to find a good place to run when you’re in an area where you have no idea where anything is located.

I’m currently hanging out in a Lenexa, KS, hotel room watching some football and waiting for a friend’s wedding this afternoon. My wife is in the wedding party, so I’ve had most of the day for myself to do whatever I wanted, as long as I make it to the ceremony location on time.

Also this weekend, I’ll be running my 4th marathon, so after I dropped my wife off to start getting ready, I wanted to go and get in 2 or 3 easy miles to loosen up my legs a little bit and break a little sweat.

Easier said than done.
