Run to Blossoms, then Walk

Crowded? Yes, but very much worth the trip. 

Congrats Participants of the Tigerlily Foundation's Pink Boa 5K!

Tigerlily Facebook Page: "On September 15, 2012, Tigerlily Foundation will host its first Pink Boa 5k Run/Walk to support young women - before, during and after breast cancer. 

"The Pink Boa 5K Run/Walk was created to a) raise awareness of the issue of young women and breast cancer; b) engage young women and their families as part of this mission; c) raise funds to enable us to continue to educate girls and young women about their breast health, and provide much needed services and support to young women in treatment for breast cancer including buddies, buddy bags, meals, financial assistance and empowerment."

Kidney Walk & Komen Run

The National Kidney Foundation Walk took place this morning at the Georgetown waterfront. The Susan G. Komen 5K brought a ton of people down to the Mall. It was fun to run, despite the on and off sprinkling.

Sandy Aftermath... Georgetown Survived

The floodgates are up in Georgetown to protect the waterfront; however, so far so good. Apparently, this evening will be the real test with the cumulative saturation and rain fall.

I had a picture of the Papyrus store boarded up, but my iPhone crashed after taking the picture. There were not a lot of people out walking around, but the restaurants that were open were full. Shops were open and empty.

It looks like we will be back to work, school, etc., tomorrow.
