Race Report Cherry Blossom 10 Mile Run Washington DC

Race Report Cherry Blossom 10 Mile Run Washington DC
08 Apr

I had the very great pleasure of running the Cherry Blossom 10 mile Run in Washington DC this past weekend.   It was a very well run event from start to finish.

The packet pick up was very streamline but some how I missed the safety pins!  I am sure that was my fault because I was so impressed that the race bib had my name on it. That was the first time that happened for me!

Next up the expo, it was small but I of course managed to find a great race find. I purchased a fuel belt that also holds a race bib.  It worked like a charm.  The ladies at ifit were amazing and made sure I was perfectly happy with my fit.

On Sunday we arrived at my corral in plenty of time to meet up with the most amazing women ever in the GREEN corral.   I lost track of them once we got started but it was a great 25 minutes of catching up.  CUCB 13 forever 🙂

I had planned the race in three sections. Section one the first 5K to the Kennedy Center then  Section two  mile 5 where I would see my amazing husband Chuck and followed by the long stretch the Third  section would be mile 8.5 last water station and the push to the finish line.

I was shocked how fast the Kennedy center was upon me. I looked at my watch and said, ut oh.. you have just burned thru alot of energy and need to dial it back. Then, there was Chuck, wait.. MILE 5!  I handed him my gloves and arms sleeves because I didn’t need them anymore.  He said ” you are doing GREAT”

Miles, 6, 7, 8 felt work. I wished I had taken those first three miles a little slower about then. It was a quiet stretch and the wind kicked up. I was overcome with how gorgeous the day was and how often we used to come here with our 3 children when they were little and I got all emotional.  I tend to do that a lot these days.  Around this time my right knee starting to lock up a bit and I dialed it back a bit.

Mile 9 .9 there was Chuck again and he was waving and I waved back and finished with tears of joy.

THANK YOU WASHINGTON DC

Here is my favorite picture of the day.  A candid shot. Not sure what I was looking at but everything made me happy.

Now I am resting the knee, cross training and getting ready for the Nike Women’s Half on April 28.

Signed.

  17. I wouldn’t say that it is a privilege that every Colombian has. In Bogota we are a lot more protected. In many areas of Colombia still under the control of illegal groups or under the intimidation of corrupt politicians or armed officials, press freedom is still just an aspiration.I think that we have a window of opportunity to write, blog and publish freely on the internet.But there is the risk that if someone finally finds a business model for the web, the big economic conglomerates will conquer the space.Then the idea that all voices are equal on the web and that what counts is the talent and not the money will become less true. Or maybe not. Who knows.
