🚨 What no one is talking about is that not only was the Jaqueline Kennedy Garden torn up, but there are several commemorative trees that were taken down too. From the satellite pic it looks like only Laura Bush’s survived. πŸ‘‡ www.nps.gov/whho/learn/h...

Sorry to be all capital-r Runner about it, but 1.5 miles in 14 minutes is roughly 9:20 pace. That's the pace I ran for the first 20k of my January marathon.
