Tucked away in a run-down shopping center in the Glenmont neighborhood of Silver Spring, Md. is a hole-in-the-wall Chinese restaurant called Szechuan Palace.
It looks a little sketchy. And a little dirty. But their combination fried rice is fantastic.
It is so good that I have them on my list of “favorites” on my iPhone.
Long holiday weekends are the best. Especially ones that involve fireworks.
Fireworks!I feel like I crammed a lot into the past few days — dinners with friends, jazz in the garden, cookouts, some family time, and even a little running.
I was on the fence about whether or not to post weekly updates for Marine Corps Marathon training.
My main concern is keeping up with the updates. If you’re regular reader here, you may know that I don’t really post that often. I’m working on that though! Blogging more is one of my goals this year. Maybe that’s what I need… something like weekly updates to keep me on a blog-writing schedule, and to also hold me accountable in sticking to the training plan.
Hot days are here.
And pretty soon, marathon training will be, too. (starts tomorrow, actually!)
I’m excited about doing the Marine Corps Marathon again. It’s such a fun event. So much energy. I also know a lot of people participating this year, which is cool.
Earlier this year, I was on the fence about whether or not I should enter. Was I ready for another full marathon? Did I really want to put in the time for training?
In the end, I decided to go for it – and I got in!
