This is truly an amazing race in a wonderful city. We lived there for seven years and never ran out of things to do. Kathy really appreciated her Marine hug at the end of her run! Congrats Beth!

Congratulations to you, as well as your running partners. What a great race. The Marines are absolutely awesome, and I have so much respect and admiration for them. Very well done! You rock, Beth!

I can't imagine running with so many people and I bet it does take awhile to get use to . . . something that is hard to prepare for. Sounds similar to my experience doing the Bike New York, where we were biking with 33,000 people. The biggest race I have ever run is the local CrazyLegs run - between runners and walkers - there are about 15,000. It was wonderful to have friends running with you.

You're right, it was so moving and so humbling to have those brave men and women volunteering on the course. Wow. Great race recap and great job! Congratulations on a great race!

It is always a little eye opening to run in a big race. I like the crowd support in big races, but really love running in smaller races too. Congrats on a great run!

It has me fired up to place this on my list next year. I was leaning Chicago but now Marine Corps. I to suffered through a cold last week and into my race last Saturday and can only wonder how much it effected my efforts. I guess we'll never know. None the less impressive time considering the temps, travel and sure mass of people. I'm sure the bushes of the DC area enjoyed your company. Enjoy your recovery time off.

I wish we could have spoken more, but I was waiting for my girls to get off the plane AND getting a phone call from CNN at the same time. My apology! There might be a piece on CNN's American Morning program this Tuesday morning. How wonderful to meet you Friday, if so briefly!

I guess everyone else wants to run it, too, and that's why it's so crowded. Congrats on a great finishing time! I’d like to visit DC, too, and run the MCM.

I have never been to D.C. before and think running this race would be a great way to see the city. Congratulations, what an awesome race report!
