I'm very proud of Cindy for completing the Marine Corps 10K Run yesterday (which is connected with the Marine Corps Marathon) in downtown DC. The way she's going, I wouldn't be surprised if runs the whole marathon soon. I expect she'll be ready for a half-marathon very soon. (I told her I'll stick with the half-miler.)
The Clydesdales were even there at the end of the race, giving out free beer. (Well, the Clydesdales were more or less supervising.) Free beer? What a race! Sign me up!
These guys weren't doing much. Looks like Skippy was guarding all the good stuff.
Cindy after crossing the finish line - a job well done! Of course they had other free stuff - bagels, sports drinks, egg beaters...but after the beer, who really cares? Anyway, I'm very proud of her. It doesn't seem that long ago that she and I were huffing and puffing at the track at Lamar High School in Arlington, TX. (The only difference is I'm still huffing and puffing.)
Speaking of huffing and puffing, I saw a woman preparing herself for the 10K by puffing a last minute cigarette. That's what I call training. And sacrifice. And some other things.
Just a few more days until WFC...

Yaayy! WFC!! See you soon. I'm flying in on the 1st and am staying at the Hampton, but I'll find you somewhere. . . Oh, and I know you're more interested in the beer, but when I went to Sea World they have an Anheiser-Bush section with Clydesdales and one of those wagons. They tour guide guy said the wagon weighs about 2000 pounds, and the clydesdales can pull that and a lot more without wheels on it. Cool, huh?
Hey Traci! Looking forward to seeing you at WFC! John and I will be arriving midday on the 2nd. Hope you'll join us for a beer (with or without the Clydesdales...)
