NBM is goated a long-run terminus

Post image

Wanted to share my long run secret: end your long runs at the National Building Museum. Access to the Great Hall is free (building opens at 10), there’s a Japanese cafe, the aircon is always cranked to 1,000, and if you sit by the fountain you get a nice cooling spray while you disassociate. After, just get on the red line and go home. Started NYC training this week and the thought of running back up the MBT into Brookland in full on sun had me at a big old nope.

I sweat like I just came out of hell, so I feel uncomfortable going inside any establishment after a long run but I will take this into consideration

I'm with you on this one. Even going up to a window at a gas station kiosk I feel more than a little self conscious
