Careful Jeff, he may want to pull the plug and drain your pond.

Re: Reflecting Pond

No ,no real reason.
I have always thought it would be great to run in front of the Lincoln Memorial.
The water in front of the Capital building is kind of dirty ,I may have been there on a bad day.
Paul
p.s. great meeting you Jeff

Re: Reflecting Pond

Paul,

For a group of folks to run their boats, you need to apply to the Nat'l Parks Service.

We used to run at the Capitol reflecting pond, which was clean back then. I think it gets drained, cleaned and refilled each Spring. The more commonly recognized reflecting pond near the Lincoln Memorial is someplace that could possibly be better for running.....

p.s. great to meet you (and Eric) too!

Jeff,
Are you making the trip down to N.C. this year?

Re: Reflecting Pond

Not this run. Our local sub group has our first indoor run of the year.....

Re: Reflecting Pond

Do you guys get charged for use of the indoor pool?

[JWLaRue]

Re: Reflecting Pond

Yes...basically a small amount to cover the servies of a life guard. It's about $25/30.

That's a good rate.

Re: Reflecting Pond

It definitely helps that one of our members belongs to that YMCA.

There's a group that usually runs at the reflecting pond. The website went down a while ago, but I've been told it was starting back up again. I went down there last year and it was a great place to run.

Re: Reflecting Pond

What pond were you guy`s in the one in front of the Lincoln Memorial or the one in front of the Capital?

Re: Reflecting Pond

The photos above are in the Capitol Reflecting Pool.

I heard on the news last week that the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool will be closed for at least a year for maintenance.

Re: Reflecting Pond

Oh, so the rumor is true.
I have herd they were going to put a filtration system in to try and keep the water a little cleaner.
