Greetings from D.C.! Matt and I are happy to be back. We lived here for 3 years after college for grad school. We have so many good memories of this place and met so many great people (Matt and I lovingly refer to them as the “DC peeps”; we are still friends with all of them to this day).
We hit up the expo which was very crowded and uneventful, except for the weather. One minute sun…
The next minute crazy wind and hail. Yeah, waiting in line outside was fun.
Then we took Mr. Hawk for a long walk into Georgetown.
Since I’m all about honesty on Run The Long Road, I must make a confession. I broke down and ate a cupcake. I even photographed my evidence! If you missed my post a few days ago, I gave up sweets until after the marathon. I made it about a week. Maybe I should just focus on giving up DQ Blizzards until after the marathon?! In my defense, we barely ate lunch and my blood sugar was dropping to dangerously low levels.
Off to dinner…and then to bed. Got a very early wake-up call tomorrow.
It’s supposed to be beautiful all along the East coast tomorrow.. so hopefully DC cooperates! Good luck!
ahhh! hope the weather is better for the race!! good luck! I do not think cupcakes count…esp if your blood sugar is low. 🙂
The weather was crazy today. No idea what was going on with that. I’ll be cheering on the runners at Cherry Blossom tomorrow. Good luck!!
Good luck! Can’t wait to hear how it goes! 10 miles seems like such a fun distance for a race.
Don’t beat yourself up – you need to carbo-load! We got that crazy hail here in Baltimore too!
