Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can anyone join the run?

A: You bet. We're friendly people. We love everybody.

Q: Why in god's name would you make a habit of running?

A: While the experience of actively running is pretty awful, stopping feels great.

Q: How fast do you all run?

A: It varies a little bit depending on how my old-man knees are feeing, but we usually run pretty brisk miles -- somewhere between 6 and 6.5 minute miles. The goal for the summer is to get down to 5.5 minute miles. This will probably not happen.

Q: How far do you all run?

A: This too is subject to my old-man knees, but usually about 4 miles. We run down 14th Street and up 16th Street, so there are some hills involved.

Q: Where do we meet?

A: At Columbia Height's running capital, 1537 Monroe St., NW, Washington, DC 20010.
