So I ran the Marine Corps Marathon on Sunday, October 28th with a PR of 4:30:22. I didn't sleep a wink the night before. I wish I was exaggerating. And yes, it was difficult and I will write a race report, but that is not what this entry is about.
I rushed home to prepare for Hurricane Sandy. This was being dubbed the most destructive storm the NJ Shore has seen since early 1900-something. Our original plan was to stay in the Washington DC area until Monday afternoon. We watched the weather closely and just shy of two hours post race, we checked out of our hotel room and headed homeward. While I was confident that the rain would hold off until I crossed the finish line, I was anxious over the mere thought of being stranded in DC while my children were in NJ during the worst storm in (our) history.
