Is it Thursday again already? My how the week flies when you’re having fun in the city. The seasons are changing, the trees are blooming, and the spring cleaning has begun. Clean house by packing away those winter clothes, dusting off the running shoes and shorts, and pumping air into your bike tires (guess I just made my to-do list for the weekend). Or spring clean your mind and body by looking into one of these great fitness opportunities taking place in the District this weekend.
