A sampling of the many things Madelyn said while we were running our 5K race this morning:

About every half mile: "How much longer?"

Maybe around mile 2: "I didn't realize it was going to be this long." (After I had tried to explain it to her for weeks, but the concept is so foreign to a 5-year-old.)

Going down Pennsylvania toward the U.S. Capitol building: "Is that the White House?" After I told her what it was: "Who lives in the Capitol?"

Pointing to a random white stone building: "Is that the White House?"

After seeing the Washington Monument: "George Washington was our first president!"

While running: "I love running! It's my favorite type of exercise!"
