Run to Charlotte Pier

Beautiful, sunny day in Rochester, NY. Perfect temp in the 60s for a nice run. The best custard ice cream ever--Abbott's--is still there and doing good business. They have improved the beach and river area quite a bit.

Tree Across 23rd Street

Look what I saw on my way home yesterday...

Prepping for Nike Women's Half Marathon

There is nothing I enjoy more than a race that begins and ends in my backyard. Unfortunately, I will be out of town for this one. Since Nike events are so popular, registration is via random draw, i.e., not everyone gets a spot. :(

Georgetown Waterfront

Georgetown French Market 4/19 and 4/20

This is a must-attend event, especially if you are a fan of Paris: Friday and Saturday, from 10am - 5pm, on Wisconsin Ave between P St. and Reservoir Road. My family's personal favorite--the fresh crepes!

Check out the video. For more information, visit the Georgetown French Market.

Repairing Memorial Bridge after 81 Years

I love the Memorial Bridge--I especially like running over it to the Arlington National Cemetery and then back over it again to the Lincoln Memorial. The Washington Post recently reported that it is in dire need of repair, with some scenarios from the National Park Service requiring it to close for up to three months. I cannot imagine.

Boston Marathon Bombing Possible Arrest

Prayers and thoughts go out to all of those affected in the Boston bombing. Horrific. CNN is reporting that someone has been arrested... more to come, I'm sure.

Theodore Roosevelt Memorial & Cherry Blossoms

Glorious weather to run--clear skies, sunny, mid-60s.
