... Well, it wasn't actually raining much -- mostly a drizzle -- but the course for Mark's half-marathon on Sunday morning from Rockville to Bethesda
was definitely wet and muddy in spots due to quite a bit of rain before the 7:00 a.m. start. Mark just barely missed finishing under 2 hours (actual time: 2 hrs., 16 seconds due to a "start" almost 10 min. after the initial gun), but he was very happy about exceeding his pre-race estimate of approx. 2 hrs., 15 minutes. Daniel, Eli, Micah and I left the house at about 8:15 for our drive to the finish line in Bethesda and arrived in plenty of time. Since Mark had to teach Sunday School at church at 10 a.m. (!) there was little time for a shower and a change of clothes and absolutely no time for a celebratory breakfast. But, we actually made it to Sunday School in time! - rw

I think it sounds like the Woodward Men are doing fine! Good work, Mark.

Well done, Mark - also a great looking support group at the finish.
Love, Mom
well, so long as you didn't miss church, that's the important thing. oh, and doesn't the computer chip read when you cross the start line? i would hope you didn't get docked 10 min at the beginning of the race. if so, demand your money back!
