Volunteering at the ACLI Capital Challenge

This rainy and cold morning I woke up at 5:15am, got my running clothes on and looked for a cab. Then I remembered, I'm in DC and finding a cab would be difficult. Still, I waited for five minutes and then ran to Haines Point. I was going to be a parking volunteer at the ACLI Capital Challenge. It's a fun race idea. It's a three mile race for teams representing Legislative, Executive and Judicial Branches of the federal government and the media.

It was a nice run down to the start, about 3 miles. But I was assigned to the parking lot that people forgot. I basically stood around in the cold rain for an hour and a half to direct 6 or 7 cars to park. Still, someone had to do it, right? But instead of heading to the start of the race and watching the runners finish, I decided to run home. I was cold, wet and tired.
