Hey Y'all! Well, the day that we have all been training months for has arrived. Tomorrow at 7am we will all running in the Nike Women's Marathon here in Washington DC. For those unfamiliar with what that distance equates to, it is 13.1 miles. Our course will be an amazing route that goes around all the monuments and ends at the Capitol building. Needless to say we are beyond excited.
So tonight for dinner we went out for pasta since we wanted to load up on carbs before the race. My dad is volunteering for the marathon and ended up making some friends. One of which suggested visiting Maggiano's. Maggiano's is a family style Italian restaurant in the Chevy Chase area of Washington DC. It was recommended to us because of it's good food and large portions. Oh man, this place did not disappoint. All of it was great---pasta, vegetables, seafood, appetizers, and desserts. We definitely got our fill. Now we are going to rest up and get ready to crush 13.1.
