Five months later....here it is...the 2015 Marine Corps Marathon Race Recap!  Since I waited this long, I thought it would be appropriate to post it the same day as the MCM Lottery results.   I originally signed up for the Marine Corps Marathon in case I did not get into the Chicago Marathon.  Lottery day I was notified I was not selected for MCM - it is okay Jennifer hopefully you'll get into Chicago (MCM lottery results are announced before Chicago, even…

Marine Corps Marathon Training T-1–10/19-10/25

October 17, 2014 Happy Happy Friday! This week felt particularly long, so glad it is the weekend! Today I am linking up with Mar, Courtney, and Cynthia.  The Marine Corps Marathon, also known as the “People’s Marathon” is 9 days away!  As a DC runner and spectator I thought I would share Five Cheering Spots for Marine Corp Marathon Spectators (mirrors several of the suggestions from the MCM site). 1.  Lincoln Memorial Steps Several DC races take runners past the Lincoln Memorial (runners see …
