After the National Marathon- A photo essay part I

After the National Marathon on Saturday, I spent a bit of time wandering around aimlessly in DC. This served two purposes. It got me my last extensive "time on feet" before Umstead 100 miler and gave me the chance to walk around DC and appreciate all the various historic landmarks.

DC is a beautiful city with so many things to do and see. And it was a beautiful day to do so. I walked from RFK Stadium to the National Mall. At the National Mall I went into the Botanical Gardens, into the Sculpture Garden and by both the Washington Monument and Lincoln Memorial. It was lots of fun!

Enjoying my post-race treat of champions: a "snoball". Note: this is also the pre-race breakfast of champions. I love food that multi-tasks!
