discarded along the route, and soggy smiles and costumes kept all the runners, joggers and walkers spirits high. The Colonial Running Company did their usual excellent job under less than ideal circumstances, and there were post-race snacks and drinks for all the finishers. Doug Landau of the Herndon law firm, ABRAMS LANDAU, Ltd. jogged the race and then dashed off to find his car parked 2 miles away, as he had 2 more appointments that day ! Sports injury lawyer Landau was expected in Georgetown at Lulu Lemon in order to participate in the formation of the National Road Running League’s formation and then to Bethesda to lunch with New York Times sports writer Frank Litsky. Those who know the active sports injury lawyer will not be surprised to learn that he found a nearby gym to work out in and then shower before his weekend “business meetings” !
