The Journey Begins

Welcome to the running blog of First Trinity Lutheran Church in Washington DC. We are in training for the Baltimore Festival of Running on October 10. As part of our training, we will be raising money for a mission trip (details to be announced soon!). Our first training run took place on July 14. Here was the course As you can see, we had a 3 mile tour around the national mall, running from roughly the capital to the Washington Monument, while starting and ending at the church. (not too many other churches can claim such a scenic route less than a mile from their building!) The first week included Greg, Kent, Sara, Kjersten, & Pastor Wendy. We made it through the first week without injury! Last week we started at Gravely point next to National Airport. It was another beautiful day for running (thanks Sara), and we extended our run by another mile. Hot topics during our run included the dangers of tow chains. Ask Sara or Kent for more details.
