The “weekend options” posts have stalled because of a technical error — and because priorities have been on a really cool project (which readers can see part of if they come back on Friday).

FOOTNOTE: Since we’re discussing weekend options anyway, I strongly recommend checking out the Sandymount Four Miler. It’s an interesting distance, and at $2 for the public, it’s about as cheap as anything out there.

What I’ll be doing: The Credit Union Cherry Blossom Ten Mile & 5K in Washington could be interesting.

Other options: A chance to go to Wilmington, DE, along with nearly a dozen other events.

In the future: Some very short races in interesting settings.
