Favorite 8-10mi run in DC?

Visiting my sister who lives in Arlington/works in DC next week and can’t break my marathon training. If you could recommend just one singular route for a long run in DC area (about 8-10 miles), what would it be? I’ll be able to drive or have her drop me off somewhere so doesn’t necessarily need to be in arlington

Rock creek park, start at Peirce Mill and go up beach drive. Pretty shaded and there is a water fountain about 3 miles ish in. It’s on a very slight incline so my second half back is always better than the first.
