Running with Giants

On Thursday morning, I got out of bed, laced up my running shoes and headed to the Capitol Mall. What a fantastic run! I ran past the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial, the Vietnam Memorial, the Koren War Memorial, along the sides of the Reflection Pool, back around the Washington Monument to the US Capitol, and back. How inspiring! It was my first morning in DC, and I was taken by the history and patriotism everywhere. DC is clean and beautiful, and it just exudes importance. Everything happens there. There are flags everywhere. It was a great run.
