The Marine Corps Marathon was today and, as usual, I walked down to Rock Creek Park near P Street Bridge to clap. I really enjoy watching marathons. I know a lot of people think they are boring, but I find them fascinating. I hope I'll be able to run another one someday. The weather was beautiful and, even though the Marine Corps Marathon isn't my favorite race out there, I still had fun. My hands really hurt, though!

The afternoon I tried to take advantage of the nice weather to finish up my little personal Watergate tour by finding the Georgetown homes of Katharine Graham. It is sort of silly, I know, but it was a nice walk and it reassured me that my knee is almost healed enough to run again (although I still don't know what I did to it).
