DC Adventures Come to a Close
Finally, my D.C. adventure comes to a close! Sunday night (race day) was our last night staying in DC, so Alicia and I made the most of it! Museums, galore! There are absolutely no shortage of things to do in this city. There literally tons of museums within walking distance to each other! Saturday we got a taste of the Natural History Museum, but today we had other plans. The Newseum! A museum about news? How awesome! I studied journalism and all forms of news in college, so this was super exciting for me! There were so many awesome exhibits. I think my favorite was the G-Men and Journalistsexhibit. One…

Portabella Burger Baby
Happy Friday! 🙂 It’s my favorite day of the week! I had one of my favorite meals for dinner tonight. A portabella burger. Yum! But more on that in a bit. Last night I had a tempo run scheduled, so I headed to the gym for that. I ran 5 miles in about 52 minutes. And I had kind of a hard time. For the first two miles my stomach felt like a rock! I have no idea why…I ate a lot of fruit during the day, including pineapple. Maybe that’s why? I love pineapple, but sometimes it doesn’t agree with me! I did a one mile warm up, and…
