livin' it up in DC

[marathoner452]

Life is good.  Tuesday night I got sick and tired of sitting around my hotel room so I wandered on down to The Mall and checked out the WWII Memorial, saw the Washington Monument in the Reflecting Pool at night, and walked up the Lincoln Memorial.  Last night, I had dinner up in Georgetown at Thaiphoon and lunch on 19th Street at Corner Bakery Cafe.  Green Papaya salad with spicy lime dressing and coconut curry chicken and a chicken pesto sandwich.  All I gotta say is that I could get used to living like this and good thing I'm running so much beacuse there's all kinds of good food to eat.  That, and it's probably quicker to walk anyplace around here because traffic in DC is always horrendous and I stink at parallel parking.  6 miles Wednesday night, 5 miles last night, and 15 miles tomorrow morning.  Then Sunday morning at 8:46 is the Run to Remember 5k, and Monday I get back to work in the Deployment Center, though fortunately there's not much going on around here.  I'm hoping Friday I'll get to come home for good, because I have sub. training a week from Monday.

I don't know how I pull this off.  My first disaster assignment was in New Orleans and this one is in DC.  You're not getting any complaints from me.

If I break 10 minute miles for my ten-miler, then perhaps I'll pass judgement. Sadly I don't think you have anything but my support and admiration to look forward to.
