Next Sunday I'm running the Chicago Marathon. I hope what happened in Washington today doesn't happen in Chicago next week.
From AP:
A 10-mile race that had attracted about 20,000 runners grew by a mile Sunday when a suspicious package under a bridge prompted organizers to change their route.
The Army's annual "Ten-Miler" road race from Arlington, Va., to Washington and back became an unofficial "fun run" when a Washington police harbor unit found the package under the 14th Street Bridge, a part of the route.
Before runners reached the bridge, race organizers decided to turn them back, said Tara McCabe, a spokeswoman for the Military District of Washington.
Police examining the package later said it was harmless, police spokesman Sgt. Joe Gentile said.
