MCM Highlights (Tuesdays on the Run Edition)

I came home with the crud that has been going around.  At least it waited till after the race.  Other then that I have some pain in my leg (which didn't start till after the race - again at least it waited till after) but that's it.  For now here are some of the highlights of the weekend. 

- The big new is that I set a PR.
- I had a great time catching up with my friend Candace.
- The White House was beautiful.  Being Halloween weekend they had some fun things related to that.

- The Gaylord National Harbor Hotel and Convention Center is huge.  We got lost a couple of times.
- The shake out run was more of a walk for us.  The brunch afterward was good, but there was no eggs, just bacon, which was really weird.  Bart Yasso is a very funny speaker.  I really enjoyed his talk during our brunch.
- The pasta dinner had some really good pasta.  And Billy Mills was very inspirational.  I thought about his talk at times when I struggled during the marathon.
- It was very moving being around all the marines (and all other branches).
- I had a lot of complements on my outfit.
- There were a lot of very sexy marines.
- The marathon was HOT.
- There were a lot of dreaded out and backs (which I hate).
- The marathon was HOT.
- I beat both the Gauntlet and Bridge with plenty of time.
- The marathon was HOT.
- Everything after the point of beating the bridge was boring with lack of crowd support and shade.
- The marathon was HOT.
- The medal is pretty sweet.
- Room service is amazing after a hot marathon.

I'll have detailed posts about all of this coming in the next couple of weeks.

I’m linking up with with MCM Mama Runs, Marcia’s Healthy Slice, and My No Guilt Life for the Tuesdays on the Run linkup.
