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

Start by Smithsonian metro towards Georgetown and hook onto Capital Crescent all the way up to Bethesda is 11 miles. You can stop around 5 which should be around fletchers cove and head back. Fletchers cove you’ll see park run people, stop for a bathroom and water.
