		<description><![CDATA[This was a trip a couple years in the making. Lindsey and I talked about running the Las Vegas Marathon in 2007, and we started training for it&#8211;even creating a blogging website for training (that still ranks #1 in search engines).  We trained all the way to running 16 miles on the weekends before Lindsey [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This morning, the newly engaged Lindsey and I drove to Fletcher&#8217;s Cove where the Capital Crescent Trail and the C&#38;O Canal meet.  The temps were perfect, and there was a light breeze.  Lindsey ran 17 miles, and I ran 11.  The trail runs alongside the towpath the entire time.  It feels so good to just [...]]]></description>

Nothing much to say about tonight&#8217;s run, other than it&#8217;s easy.  I&#8217;m trying to get in my run before it&#8217;s completely dark, but now I&#8217;m at the point where if I don&#8217;t leave the office right at 5:30pm, it&#8217;s gonna be dark, even after 4 miles.

		<description><![CDATA[Lindsey joined me Friday night after work, and together we ran 4 miles along the National Mall in Washington, DC.  There were tents set up everywhere in preps for the National Book Festival taking place tomorrow.  We didn&#8217;t get started until 8:30pm. What&#8217;s nice about running after dark is that the temps get cooler as [...]]]></description>

I came a bit more prepared today.  I didn&#8217;t want to go without water, but I didn&#8217;t want to wear my 4-bottle hydration belt either.  The belt with the little bottles is starting to not look cool, or maybe it has [...]]]></description>
