2011 DC Marine Corps Marathon

Virginian is full. Thanks for allf the feedback, everyone! I am feeling better about my holiday inn reservation. I didn't realize it was so close. Someone on another message board made it seem like it was a VERY long walk from the finish area. I'm relieved!
 
When I get to the finish line, I plan on sitting on the curb for some time before I even think about my hotel.

Make sure you walk around some before sitting down. Sitting down right away can quickly cause your muscles to stiffen up, making getting back up again even harder. Strolling around for 15-20 minutes before sitting down lets them cool off and relax gradually. :)
 
Okay, DIS friends . . . in a moment of temporary insanity, I registered. Swore I'd wait for the NY Lottery to come through but read all of the great reviews on RWOL (in part due to one of your threads, roomthreeseventeen - you are to blame) and mulled it over. Since I convinced three other co-workers we needed to do it, I am in. I registered two days ago with Semper Fi Fund. It looks like a good cause and the fundraising minimums for many of the charities are very reasonable. One of my friends would do anything for a hot Marine, so she was easy to coerce. I have decided to use the Galloway Fat Burning Plan. In the long run, it will have me putting in more miles than a traditional Galloway program. I think I will need to mental component of the walking breaks for a full - and having them timed and planned will ensure I don't take more than my share. I am looking forward to this - but not the really long long-runs. My whole day will be shot! LOL! Well, excited to join. Will need to let RWOL cyber friends know I took the plunge, too! The more people I tell will decrease my chances of backing out and making excuses. A Full - ugh. What was I thinking?!

I told my friends to meet me at the finish line with both Hot Chocolate and Champagne!

Then I can choose what I need/want. LOL

But seriously, we will probably walk somewhere and grab a bite to eat before heading back to hotel to kind of avoid the lines, crowds, etc
