What did I accomplish this weekend? Other than successfully getting a sunburn, nothing! Wait, I did reply back to those who have been posting on my facebook. And I almost forgot, I ran to and around the tidal basin for the second time! The first time I ran was last Thursday- after my previous post. Let me reflect: it was the BEST run I've had. It was a cool night with a slight breeze, so awesome running weather, and I still hadn't seen the Jefferson and FDR Memorials. Between that, the D.C. views, and Ray LaMontagne- my favorite artist- it was perfect. And running more than six miles didn't feel so bad either.
On Saturday, the roommates and I went to the well-known Cherry Blossom Festival. The city was crowded with visitors and our cameras. Although it was a windy, the day was beautiful. While standing in line for Japanese food, I was sunburned on the left side of my neck and face. Painful! It still hurts and is oh so extremely attractive! We finished out the day shopping and finished late afternoon. For once, I didn't feel like going out, and Saturday night was uneventful.
Yesterday morning we woke up and laid out, and I attempted to even out the burn. Thinking too much, I couldn't handle the sedentary activity and walked to the grocery store and Eastern Market instead. Later last night I ran around the tidal basin again. After work today, Sara told me one of her co-workers roommates was mugged at gun point last night around 10 p.m. They live one block over, and I was running at the time. Granted, I was told the three muggers looked like high schoolers, but I will cut back on the late evening runs.
Oh, AND we had a break in Friday night. Once again, I miss the action that goes on at our place, which always seems to occur on the Friday nights I'm not there. The police found the guy based off the description the housemates gave, and come to find out, the guy had just been released earlier that day after serving seven years in prison! Luckily, no one was assaulted, but everyone's been pretty shaken up since then.
