My building has a wonderful gym & showers. Still working out how to stage clothes so I don't have to carry a backpack.
I come up from the South on Mt Vernon joining it just North of Old Town Alexandria. The trail is in pretty good shape from that direction with the exception of some root growth making it pretty bumpy in places.
40F/4C Rain and a mild headwind
