Fourth of July in the Nation's Capital


July 4th weekend is always a great time for catching up on miles, food, drink and friends. For the past several years, I've celebrated the 4th with a 10 miler then BBQ and beer. In my mind, thats the American way - a challenge then celebration. This year, I'm changing it up a bit, after all I am a married man.

I think this year, Emily and I will head out for a long run on Friday the 3rd, followed by a medium distance bike ride with my old riding buddy Matt. On the 4th, we'll hit the road for a medium distance run. Then round it all out with a long run on Sunday the 5th.

The weather looks to be fantastic and the beer is cold. Speaking of which, I'll have to find something special. Although not particularly special in the East, Yuengling is the oldest continuous brewery in America - and not sold in Chicago, where I'm from, so its special to me.
