What a beautiful day in Washington for a race!  Shannon and I made our way to Fletcher's Cove near Georgetown for the Run for Freedom 5K benefiting the Bridge to Freedom Foundation.  It was sunny, a bit muggy, and all kinds of gorgeous as we ran along the C&O Canal Towpath.  About 250 people ran the race and, as always, everyone was so encouraging and had smiles plastered on their faces throughout.  The smaller races tend to be so much more enjoyable because of camaraderie accompanying the run.  After finishing, we, eventually, caught a cab home to get ready for an amazing post-race lunch at Black Salt Fish Market.  Such a perfect race day gets me jazzed for the Tejas Trails races later this summer.
