Lawyers Have Heart 2015

Perhaps no race is more targeted at the Dojo than Lawyers Have Heart. The ultimate DC distance running throwdown for attorneys.

This year, in hot, humid weather, over a crazy course, Dojo runners took home several big honors.


Chris ​Higby is ready for action!

The categories seem to change a bit every year, and one tweak for 2015 was adding in an "Overall Legal" category. I take this to be the fastest legal professional of any denomination. Well, Dojo swept the top two men's spots, with Jeff Redfern (34:36) and Josh Sohn (35:42). Jeff joins a long line of Dojo runners (well, mostly Chris Pruitt) as the fastest lawyer in DC. Chris Higby rounded things out, winning his age group in 38:49. Also noteworthy is that Chris Higby led the Covington team to the team title for Large Law firms joining PJ, Chris, Alan, and me as folks who have previously carried C&B to the coveted team win.

On the women's side, Jenny Paul ran a heck of a race, coming in 4th overall in 40:48 and battling some great runners in the process. Laura Jennings is crowned DC's fastest government attorney (42:45). Lisa Swartzfager got the most out of doing a single run with us, winning the title as DC's fastest associate (43:36).
