Week in Review: 8/18 – 8/24

One if by land … Wait, sorry, wrong war. The “Flee the British 5K,” which was held Sunday, commemorates that other war against the Brits. The run was actually held 200 years to the day that the British torched DC during the War of 1812. According to the website, the fun run allows you to “feel what it’s like to have the British on your heels as you scurry to the finish line.” Unfortunately, the DC residents back in 1814 didn’t have the latest, ultra-light, gel-cushioned running shoes. More photos from our flickr pool after the jump.

  1. Thanks for any other informative website. Where else could I get that type of info written in such a
    perfect approach? I have a mission that I’m just now running on, and I have been at the look out for such
    information.

  2. A motivating discussion is worth comment. I think that you ought to publish more on this topic, it
    might not be a taboo matter but generally people don’t speak about these subjects.
    To the next! Best wishes!!

  3. Hi there every one, here every person is sharing these
    know-how, therefore it’s pleasant to read this blog, and I used to
    pay a quick visit this website everyday.

  4. To introduce NFC formally, it is a set of standards for wireless devices especially smart phones and tablets to establish
    radio communication by bringing the devices together in close proximity.
    Android OS is not certified to a single cell phone making company, the
    mobile phones themselves can differ to an excessive degree with regards to features and components features.
    I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that probably a
    great deal of the popular music from the 80’s used one of these babies.
