2006 Marine Corps Marathon, Washington, D.C.

Well, I made it! I'll update this post with more info when I have time later but I wanted to go ahead and post something now for those who might be wondering how it all went.

The trip to Washington was great. Sarah was a champ as far as the traveling goes. She sang most of the time in the car and just seemed to enjoy the whole experience. On the way up she would occasionally say "I want to go back home". Now that we're back she keeps saying "I want to go back to Washington D.C.".

Dumb me left both my Forerunner and our digital camera at home in our haste to get on the road. We ended up buying several disposable cameras and I got the pictures developed onto a CD. You can check out all our D.C. pictures on Flickr by clicking here.

The race was great too. It was a little more crowded than I had anticipated and we really couldn't run our own pace until around mile 10 or so. That and the really heavy winds put our goal time of 3:50 out of reach this time. I finished in 4:04:00 and considering the circumstances I'm really happy with that. That said, I'm still thinking of running another one to try to get in under 4 hours.

Well, that's enough for now. I'll try to update this sooner than later.
