This Sunday I'll be running the Cherry Blossom 10 Miler in DC!
Cherry Blossom 10 Miler holds a special place in my heart. It was my PRD or longest distance at the time last year. I was so nervous and anxious last year. I had signed up for the 8:30 pace group but the pacer ended up running around 8:00 miles, so I finished in 1:20 and was elated.
I was on such a great runner's high when I finished even though the cherry blossoms were past bloom and the day was gloomy. I had the hugest smile on my face when I finished and remember feeling so good and strong. I hope I feel that feeling again when I finish on Sunday. Since I've run this race before, hopefully I'll be a little more relaxed about getting to the start line.

The weather is predicted to be 72 degrees and sunny (according to weather.com as of 5 seconds ago). 72 DEGREES. That's warm. I'm going to wear a new Brooks running skirt so I'll report back-I hope there isn't chaffing! (#runnerproblems) I have brunch reservations at Old Ebbitt Grill after the race so that will be delicious. I'm hoping for some pretty blossoms, fast running, and a big smile on my face the whole time :)
If you're down in DC for the race, lookout for me!
Thanks for stopping by..best of wishes race day!

ReplyDeleteI don't think it will be 72 at race time! Maybe in the 40s/50s. I am so excited that the blossoms should be gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteGood luck on your race! This is a great time of year to be outside running.
