I took the metro from where we were staying to the Smithsonian stop and started my run towards the Capital Building.  From there, I turned around and headed back past the Washington Monument to the Lincoln Memorial passing the Vietnam War Memorial.  On my way back to the metro stop, I also passed the World War I Memorial.  This is an incredibly inspiring run and I recommend it to anyone who is remotely near the area.
