I left the house a little late, meaning I got a good 1.5 mile “warm up” run down to the Metro. That’s one way to ignore the fact that it’s much colder than anticipated outside; it’s also one way to avoid that initial infamous slow mile of mine.
We got down to the Mall around 7:00 a.m. and procrastinated the bag-check as long as possible so the jackets could stay on. Alas, surrendering to the crisp sunny morning – it was time to line up! Joining the 5,000+ other runners who decided on the shorter 6.2 mile-distance for the day, we were officially part of the MCM festivities….
Act like you aren’t freezing! No, no, we’re definitely ready to run 6.2!
It’s sunnier now! And we have medals! We’re very content.
“I want a picture with the Marines!” They appreciated this, I’m sure.
Menu: “Congratulations Marathon Runners!”
Why, no, we did not run 26.2 miles. But, we do appreciate your tasty Mimosas! Thankyouverymuch.
Full of good food and good times with friends.

This was an amazing race – and yes, the report will follow shortly!
For now? It’s time to catch up on some much needed sleep.
