So my GTI finally hit the one year mark a few weeks ago. Then this week I took her in for the 10,000 mile service (first service since I've had the car no less,) back to the dealer I go her from. I must say it's nice that something that probably would've cost me around a $100 more was free....with a state inspection and wash/vacuum to boot. I had been taking my previous GTI there for service since I moved it back here, and while it was great service then...I can tell I get some perks since the current one actually came from there!
Thanks Alexandria VW!
PS the actual 10K service is a part of VW's Carefree Maintenance program.

2011 Pacers Ambassador!
Excerpt from a very glorious email I received today:
"Congratulations!
On behalf of Pacers Running Stores and Pacers Events, I would like to invite you to join our 2011 Pacers Ambassador class. We were only able to accept 30 percent of the applications received and congratulate you on making the cut!"
What is this program you ask? From the website: http://runpacers.com/ambassador/
"Pacers Ambassadors are a tight-knit community of runners, walkers, and triathletes who participate in area runs and races, volunteer their time at events, engage their community, and embody the Pacers lifestyle and culture. They are standout leaders and role models in their communities, are dedicated to their sports, and are passionate about representing Pacers Running Stores and Pacers Events.
A selected group of athletes will be outfitted in technical Pacers gear and will appear at Pacers races as well as other local and national races. The program runs from February 1, 2011 through January 31, 2012.
They are a friendly group, so say “hi” if you see them at your next 5K or marathon."
So, I'm very stoked I got selected to the program and am looking forward to using my love of running in ways beyond the pavement by meeting new people, helping out, and sprinting through 2k11! Now let's see if my legs can keep up with me this year!

Saints are out...
Well, as the whole football world knows, my Saints are out of the playoffs. Why the quick exit? I actually believe they had too many key players out to injury...that, and the Seahawks just seemed to want it more. Nevertheless, I'm proud of the team...people talk about the Super Bowl hangover, but they had a winning season and made it into the playoffs! So, now the jersey go back in the closet and I now focus my energy on rooting for the team right up BW Parkway...go Ravens!

Fairfax Four Miler
Not the best finish time in the world (being that I slow down my running this time of year due to the weather); but an enjoyable 4 mile run was had nonetheless. Race got a bit too dark in spots for my liking, but luckily that was a somewhat rare occurrence. Oh, and another hilly race through George Mason University (raced there back in July).
Anyways here's the stats
Place: 754 out of 1291 (very close to my bib number, haha)
Time: 39:06
10 minute mile? Yuck! Though in my defense, one of my shoes untied a mile into the race so I had to "pull over to the shoulder" rip off my gloves and fix it. I did double knot them before I started, but couldn't stand the laces flipping around loose down there. If that hadn't have happened, I'd probably be around 38:00 to 38:30. :P

It was a good run...
So after my first 3 years back in DC, the Saints will not be travelling up this way next season. All the more reason to make my way down to the Superdome for a home game!
Home- NFC South, Bears, Lions, Giants, Texans, Colts
Away- NFC South, Packers, Vikings, Rams, Jaguars, Titans

Has to the best dealership commercial...
...I've ever seen. Very well done and actually funny. DISCLAIMER: Please keep the Vick hate comments off my page, I believe the man has done his time and atoned for his actions. That being said, enjoy!
