On anniversary of Navy Yard shooting, loss of expert shipbuilder still echoes at sea
The lasting toll of Aaron Alexis’s rampage is reflected in the Navy’s struggle to finish its newest warship.
Thinking of all the Navy Yard shooting victims and their families today, but especially Chris who I met last year just prior to the shooting. Chris lost his Dad, Michael, who is featured in this article.

The 10 Manliest Races in North America
Are you crazy enough to compete in these races? We found the toughest, most macho courses from coast to coast.
Great list. Ragar Relay DC was on the list as was the Hotter’N Hell Hundred which I have my sights set to do next summer since I used to live in that town in Texas! I’m apparently a crazy badass!!
Hotter’N Hell Hundred
One hundred miles in 100-degree heat sounds downright suicidal—yet, more than 12,000 cyclers choose to test their limits under the Wichita Falls, Texas, sun each year. The race was established in 1982 to celebrate Wichita Falls’ centennial and the tenacity of its early settlers.

D.C. Doesnt Skip Leg Day; Ranked Fittest City In U.S.
I love living right outside DC and it’s cool to read deeper about what a great metro region it is for fitness!
A 200 meter swim is no joke.
50m warm up
4x25m
50m cool downConsidering I’ve never ever really swam for distance I was pretty pleased with how this first swim went, but I had a long way to go. That cardio was SERIOUS.
I didn’t officially time these swims today, but I was counting as I swam…
Reposting myself so it makes sense when I let you all know that I woke up with some sore arms today. I knew yesterday was a cardio workout, but damn arms. Looking forward to more upper body action!
The World’s Fastest Beer Mile Was Recorded for Posterity
Remember this moment. Someday your kids will ask you where you were when you found out that some jackass had run a beer mile—like a regular mile, but with more beer—in under 5 minutes, setting a new world record.
4 laps. 4 beers. under 5 minutes. This man is my hero.
I BOUGHT ONE. Where are my other single DC Tumblr ladies at? Leggo!
