This afternoon I took a 10.3 mile jog around (nearly all of) the Inauguration perimeter. #RealFunDC

Main takeaway, if you don’t live here, don’t come downtown!
K Street and 19th NW
Pennsylvania Ave ... I can almost see @FoundingFarmers
Dumps like a truck, truck. View of Old Exec Office Building on White House complex.
No one gets on the National Mall from Constitution, not no way not no how.
Constitution Avenue toward the Lincoln Memorial
Institute of Peace and @kencen through 9 foot fence.
But for real ... the Lincoln Memorial looks like a top hat on the top. 🎩 🇺🇸
Sidebar. There’s a rock that has a plaque commemorating the first @USPS air mail (which started in 1918) it’s in West Potomac Park.
About six miles in ... was like “rut Roh I’m far from home”
The @TheWharfDC is obv open, and juice was in order...
Thought I could jog past the @IntlSpyMuseum along Independence ... and wide around the Capitol complex ... that worked til 4th so then back under the freeway and toward NavyYard 🤷‍♂️
Up and around the Capitol there were dozens of Washingtonians thanking the hundreds National Guard troops deployed to our city to keep us safe and ensure a peaceful transition of power in less than 100 hours.
Swung by @wethepizza ... @chefspike and the team have been feed the troops stationed in DC and encouraging neighbors to help keep the pies coming by donating to the effort 🍕 🇺🇸

Everything’s fine.
The scope and size of the perimeter and the number of people, fence and hardware to protect our city is truly remarkable. It hit me at this intersection.
Not pictured ... delicious stop @ebenezers ☕️
Clouds roll in near #UnionStation be safe peeps
