Run on the Mall

This morning I had an hour-long, guided, running tour of the National Mall in Washington DC.  On the tour my lovely tour guide, Elaine, showed me the National Archive, the Washington Monument, the White House, the Vietnam War Memorial, the Lincoln Memorial, Korean War Memorial, and Jefferson Memorial.  In all we ran about 6 miles.  I think it is the most patriotic place I have ever run and can't think of another that would be more patriotic.

I owe two heartfelt apologies.  First, I apologize to all of the service men whom we did not properly stop and remember at the memorials.  The memorials were touching even as we ran past them.  Second, I apologize to the other passengers on the subway.  I'm sure I didn't smell nice after our run in the heat and humidity.

  1. To the Family, it's been fun to read your posts. I'm glad the kids are also involved posting. Sounds like its going well so far. I got to see the Mall for about a two hour walking tour while in Maryland for work a while back. So impressive. I'd love to do it the right way and see much more.
