Peaceful Protesters and More Things You Don't See E-v-e-r-y-d-a-y in DC

The best thing I saw running Friday morning was a former colleague from the IMF on a unicycle. Really, I'm not kidding. If I hadn't been so shocked to see him riding in downtown DC on a unicycle, I would have snapped a picture. Now, I'm on the look out for him...

Wow--look at that long hair?!?!

Running Everywhere and Anywhere on My Bday

Totally Burned Out SUV!

This is something I definitely do not see everyday on my morning run. It was on New Hampshire Avenue, in front of The Savoy, near the corner of L Street. It smelled like it was still smoldering.

Bunny Rabbit!

Thank you for the cool front! After a couple of days with severe thunderstorms, we are now enjoying much cooler temperatures and less humidity (high only in the low 80s?).

How cute is this little bunny rabbit? He was at the corner of Reservoir and 35th.

Tongues Panting Courtesy of High Heat

It has been really hot and humid the last couple of days...supposedly a break is coming by mid-week. Running in the morning is hot but bearable. In the afternoon, it is a slow walk/jog home. I can't bring myself to use the "running" setting on RunKeeper; instead, I set it to walk and always feel better when the app congratulates me on my "fast" pace.

President Obama at the Georgetown Waterfront

Kudos to the PR people for choosing Key Bridge as a backdrop for President Obama's speech regarding fixing the nation's bridges. He spoke from Georgetown's Waterfront Park yesterday at 2:20 p.m. Although I couldn't make the trek in the middle of the day, my fantastic daughter--in the name of this blog--went down in the unbearable heat and humidity to snap a few pictures. Unfortunately, security was extremely tight and the area was closed off to the public; Julia tried every which way to get through with no luck. Thank you, Julia!
