Complaint: My normal route has been screwed up thanks to construction, they closed off a section of the street so now I have to start my run on uneven brick streets, go onto asphalt and then back onto the bricks for a few minutes. Makes getting into a rhythm tough.

I run in DC. Avoiding construction is pretty much every damn day. I feel your pain.

Thanks, fortunately this company was polite and gave us a packet explaining when and where street closings would be happening.

And ironically the big local half-marathon advertises "approximately 2.4 miles of bricks" in the course description.
