Roosevelt was a Smart Man...and Ultrarunning

Posting's been light here due to illness of family members, but here's a gem from the beautiful Franklin Delano Roosevelt memorial in Washington, DC.  We visited there in April with our niece to (finally) see the famous cherry blossoms.

The FDR Memorial is right beside the tidal basin where the cherry trees are.

The link to Ultrarunning, of course, is our love for nature.  We could run anywhere, I suppose, but we choose to run trails.

Why is that, I wonder?
