The Capitol Hill Classic 10K—a great morning run, in beautiful (if a bit warm) weather!
This unseasonable break (in a winter full of them) made it a lovely day for a lunchtime run. So lovely that I didn’t take a photo and had to find one on the internets.

Sort of amazed at what we accomplished yesterday:
Liz and I are a bit in awe of what yesterday held, on a Saturday, no less:
- Woke up at 5:30 a.m. and headed out to the Hot Chocolate 15K (which was fairly poorly organized, as many people have noted)
- Stood in the 35-degree cold for almost 2 hours, waiting for the race that would seemingly never start.
- Knocked out 9.3 miles (or thereabouts… see above re: poor organization) at a 10:15 per mile pace, without stopping to walk once! Rewarded with hot chocolate.
- Zipped home, showered, and headed out to see the Hoyas demolish NJIT, 84-44.
- Stopped at Michel Richard’s Meatballs restaurant, near the Verizon Center.
- Walked down to Georgetown Visitation and picked up our Christmas tree, singing carols and carrying it home on our shoulders (this year’s tree is named Claude).
- Headed out to a 1-year old’s birthday party on Capitol Hill.
- Came back and went grocery shopping for Liz’s book club hosting today.
- Cleaned the house, and set up the tree.
- Collapsed into bed.
It makes me tired just thinking about it, but it’s also a great sense of accomplishment.
Mustaches love hot chocolate.
They also love donations for the kids: http://bit.ly/JacquesMustache2011
