Easter Vigil Run

Once again the Trotters were out running this week! Twice in a row, possibly some sort of a record! In honor of Easter Vigil, we went on a Liturgy of the Word Savenger hunt run. There were a series of clues leading us to different parts of the city that corresponded (loosely) with scripture readings from the Easter Vigil service and we had to figure out the clue and run to the next location to get the next one. It was a lot of fun, and we got over 4.5 miles in!

Next week is the DC Marathon, which Fran is running the half-marathon part of. Hopefully we will find a way to incorporate cheering for Fran as part of our workout.

After yet another long break, the Trinity Trotters were once again back in action this week! It has come to our rather unpleasant attention that we are in fact running another marathon relay in but 6 short weeks, and several members of the team, who will remain nameless, have not actually put on their running shoes since the last relay. These members would like to remind people that it is very cold in the District of Columbia in December, January, February, and most of March, but people from colder places (like Iowa and Minnesota) claim that this is not a good excuse.

Anyway, spring is coming, the Frederick Marathon is coming even quicker, and the Trotters are getting ready. For this weekend's run we were back on the National Mall. We contemplated searching for a Christmas tree, as that was the theme of the last few runs, but decided that would probably make for a bit longer of a jaunt then we were hoping for. Instead we played "dodge the raindrops" and the ever popular "don't lose Pastor Wendy," pondered whether Kent was cold (he was not), and generally enjoyed a lovely Spring morning.

Stats: I ran 3.36 miles, some others ran further.
