The first Monday night FootMall of the 2010 National Full and Half Marathon training season was a great success. In addition to Coaches Sasha and Jay, nine runners met in the lobby of Potomac Plaza at 7 pm for a meet-and-greet, stretching, and some running tips. The weather was beautiful, and we headed out at about 7:20. Sasha and I turned around with a few other runners at the Smithsonian Castle -- the 2 mile point -- and headed back for a total of 4 miles. Trainee Derek, who has run the FootMall route with us a number of times, valiantly led the rest of the group up Capitol Hill and back to home base for a total of 6.5 miles. After the run, several of us walked to 51st State Tavern, where we enjoyed several 50-cent tacos and $3 Buds. All in all, it was a very nice way to start the week.
We look forward to seeing everyone again this coming Monday!
Coach Jay
