We started Saturday morning with the MCM bRUNch. Normally a
5K run followed by breakfast, this year, the DC Parks Department would not
allow the run, so I was able to go with Jim.
Held at the USMC Memorial in
Arlington, we were milling around the memorial before the brunch only to see a
group of busses coming in with a police escort. Off the buses came an Honor
Flight from Florida. It was the most amazing and emotional sight. This one really spoke to me...
The bRUNch featured Bart Yasso, the Chief Running Officer
from Runner’s World Magazine and MCM Hall of Famer and Historian George
Bankton. Jim also partook of the “Schmacon,” beef bacon. It’s not available in
stores yet, but Jim is already a fan!

For dinner, we went the the Carbo Dining In for a pasta dinner. In addition to lots of pasta and rolls, we were entertained by the "Victory Belles" from the National WWII museum. They were great and will be singing the National Anthem at the Opening Ceremony for MCM. It was a great day... now on to the race!
