Today's failed photo assignment
Rode into DC from Old Town Alexandria today via the Mt. Vernon trail with a plan to capture photos of my wife running the Marine Corps Marathon. Failed to find her (eMail updates of her location to my phone didn't work), but took some shots of a pretty day and lots of humanity running around anyway.
end or runway shot at Reagan National A/P
Marathon escort scooters
the mass of humanity coming into the Memorial area
Lincoln Memorial (from the back.. I think)
Helicopter buzz
at the Washington Monument
the right horse for the course... photo/utility/winter bike on Mt. Vernon trail
Pentagon Memorial... I wept as I listened to the running water and thought of the fallen
having a Clif bar at the finish area

Awesome Pictures!!!! How did she like the marathon? I like the balloons with 4:15 pacers picture. Actually I like them all, but I read a few articles about the pacers, and remembered the balloons in the articles

Tell her GREAT JOB!!!! There is no way after my last migraine that I would be even able to do a 5k the next day, let alone a marathon. It wiped me out. I hadn't had one in over 7 years according to my wife and kids, and all I did was vomit, drink fluids and try to sleep in a quiet and dark place.
GREAT JOB DONE!!!!
GREAT JOB DONE!!!!

Distinguishing garb is the most useful, I think.
