My favorite Summer Olympic event is the one traditionally held last, the marathon. My appreciation of the marathon goes back to my time living in Northern Virginia. On the last Sunday of October every year, the Marine Corps Marathon is run through the streets of D.C. and Arlington. It was one of my favorite days of the year. I would run the Marine Corps 10K, swing by Dunkin for a celebratory coffee and donut, and then go cheer on the runners as they passed through the Pentagon City neighborhood.
