Marine Corps Marathon 2009

 

Living in Rosslyn, we're got prime seats for the Marine Corps Marathon.  So after a large, leisurely breakfast, walk outside and enjoy the spectacle of more than 20,000 persons running a marathon.  The Marine Corps Marathon is the people's marathon.  People are incredible.

Pacers Running Festival finishes in Rosslyn

Last Sunday the Pacers Running Festival ran into Rosslyn. Steve Mance and Michael Wardian, both from Arlington, battled head-to-head throughout the half-marathon with Steve pulling away to finish first with an uphill, into-the-wind sprint. Mary Beth Meuthing, also of Arlington, was first among the women in the half-marathon. Here are the complete results for the half-marathon and the 5k. Local blogs have some excellent first-person coverage: check out reports from Marathon Mom, Eric, Marissa, Jessica, and Lizard Runs. Some video coverage below.
