3. Washington DC

Practically every Senate/House function ceases at noon on Thursdays so Members can fly home to be with their families, and visit Constituents. Yes, even Senators get days off...

I can only dream of doing an Ironman. Need to stick to sprint tri's for now.

I'll be vacationing in Arizona in two weeks. Maybe we'll pass by each other running?
