After finishing up my meetings around lunchtime in Philly, I hit the road to get to DC (about 3 hour drive) for some dinner meetings. I was cruising along I-95 when I crossed this beautiful river. I did not know the name – all I knew was I crossed state line (PA to MD) on the bridge. Out of a whim, took an exit immediately and found myself a state park by the river. Found out the name of the river is Susquehanna. Supposed to be a historic river in the context of the Civil war. In any case, quickly changed into running clothes and put in a 5K along the river stopping many times, to take in its beauty…

Other than making new running friends today, also ran into Lia and Lina from our very old running group.

Started very early before the crack of dawn. The river looked beautiful in moonlight and then in the bright colors of the rising sun…. It was very quiet other than the river’s noise and the occasional runner…
