Embassy Run, or make that #EUEmbassyRun

I ran the EU Embassies on May 9...well some of them. 28 in a day would be a lot more work. It was an organized event by Capital Striders and RUNINOut.

Here's the list of embassies:

• Austria
• Slovak Republic--bobbin lace
• The Netherlands--cheese and licorice 
• Czech Republic
• Hungary--cheese biscuits and vizslas 
• Poland--pierogi and insects in amber
• Finland--picture with the Ambassador (a lady) and tasty food
• Italy--chocolate eggs
• Denmark--rest on the grass and eat a marshmallow-y thing coated in chocolate and coconut. They tossed us water bottles as we left--Yay! 
• Ireland--step dancers outside (didn't let us in)
• Greece--baklava and tzatziki (super nice!)
• Latvia--rye bread, recipe book, and info on Black Rooster Bread in DC. Here's a reviewer on why that is so exciting. It's like the bread I ate in Latvia! 
• Sorbetto--not an embassy but a really nice break (pink grapefuit and strawberry flavors if you're wondering)
• Sweden--oat crisps, ginger cookies, SÖTSAK KAKAOBOLL, and elder flower fizz from IKEA. And they put up a finish line for us!

Kori and I did 10.5 miles according to the calculation by Runkeeper. We deviated from the official course to see Latvia and Greece. My legs were darn tired after all that running!

So do I

I know, I know, 2 of my 4 faithful followers are waiting with bated breath for the tales of Latvia. I'm working on it but that will take longer than a quick post about Saturday. The Google App came back with my file so I do still have it...I just had to suffer 36 hours of heartburn over it. But I'm really glad it came back!
