I have two stories in this edition: A piece about one of my favorite training spots - Frederick City Watershed - on page 8 in the reader ... and a profile of Sherwood High School Coach Dan Reeks on 13. This is our second high school-focused issue, and Charlie and I really appreciate feedback. Email us at dickson@runwashington.com or charlie@runwashington.com.

We got to Cosmic Charlie's Training Cabin in Giles County, VA on Friday evening. No electricity or running water. Just a beautiful place to be.
I was planning on doing a shakeout upon arrival, but I was beat from the drive, so went for a nice walk with Emily and Bruno while Charlie ran then we all enjoyed some wine in coffee mugs and took in the view.
It is roughly 2,000 feet in Giles and there a lot of dirt roads and forests and it is really cool out all the time. Saturday we did a great tempo in the morning and, in the afternoon, a few easily miles on the road then jogged up to an overlook (photo above).

Sunday we went long with the University of Richmond XC team - a run I'll remember for one of the most difficult climbs I've ever endured. Wish my watch hadn't run out of juice. Also, it was really cool meeting and getting to chat a bit with Coach Steve Taylor.August 18 - 24
