ISL Championships, Marine Corp Marathon, & Hurricane Sandy

Busy weekend! Yesterday, we went to Derwood, Md., for the Independent School League (ISL) XC Championships. The girls had a great attitude and tried their best--Yay!

Today, the 37th Annual Marine Corp Marathon weaved throughout the area. I'm happy the weather remained moderate, 50s with slight breeze and no rain. The winner was Augustus Maiyo, 2:20:17, a Kenyan native. The first female to cross the finish line was Ethiopian Hirut Guangul, 2:42:06. There were 30,000 registered runners.

And then there is Hurricane Sandy... http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/hurricane-sandy-marches-north-toward-mid-atlantic-coast/2012/10/28/af5af5f0-2114-11e2-ac85-e669876c6a24_story.html?hpid=z1. Flights, schools, events--many cancellations in anticipation of the "Frankenstorm."
