So Caitlin and I raced again yesterday. This time, we woke up at 5am and journeyed up to Columbia, MD, to represent our team (DC Road Runners Club) in the RRCA Ten Mile Challenge. We had no big plans (I was thinking 1:10, she was thinking 1:16:59) as this was just another part of training. The course promised to be “a challenge” with rolling…
Rather than being like most sheep, Caitlin and I decided to forgo gift giving and instead went on a 10.2 mile scamper through DC. You know, spending time together rather than spending money on each other… It was a hit.

Sunday was beautiful, my calendar said “cross-training,” so that’s what I did. I broke out the POS road bike (I really hate it, but I’m not entirely sure) and did The Arlington Triangle. I wasn’t in a hurry so I used a nifty gift, a TRZ Bento Box, I got for Christmas from Caitlin’s Mom, to carry my cash/credit/ID/phone/camera. The plan was to stop…
