What a gorgeous race! Ten ka-jillion times more scenic than the National Half Marathon last weekend. This is what DC is all about, folks.
10 miles of pure bliss. Seriously, it. was. beautiful!
Good morning!
Care for some pre-race Zumba?
To the start!
We ran from the Washington Monument -> Lincoln Monument -> (over/back) Memorial Bridge -> Jefferson Memorial -> Hains Point (which is gorgeous) -> Finish

And entirely along the river and among the beautiful cherry blossoms.
Here are a couple of pictures I captured while running. Skill, I tell ya!
Taken by the Manfriend at mile 5. Go, go go!
Perrrrdy. Jefferson Memorial in background.
I finished at 1:20 but have no idea what my real time is [yet] since I crossed the finish line ~3 mins after the official start. We shall see!
Oh, haaay!

(nice pose, haha)
Look who came to cheer me on! Michael!!!
Oh, and I have no shame.
I will change out of my freezing soaking clothes anywhere.

ReplyDeleteGORGEOUS race--WOW!!
ReplyDeleteI love that he took a picture of you changing, hahah! Great race, nice job! I signed up to receive info about the 2012 race. That's reallllyyyyy adventurous considering I can't currently run a 5k.
ReplyDeletewow, looks like it was a gorgeous morning!! awesome race!
ReplyDeleteCongrats!!!!! I loooooved the race yesterday. It was so much better than last year's because all the cherry blossoms were gone last year! Perfect weather, perfect race.
ReplyDeleteAwesome job! I must say that I've never gotten too into running. I'll go through phases where I'll do it consistently and really really want to keep doing it but then I'll get really into cardio classes instead. The max at one time that I've run is 4 miles... so quite a bit under 10. But maybe one day!
ReplyDeleteGREAT race! I never do the pre-race 'organized' aerobics but I might if it was zumba. I really like the idea of a 10 mile race (good meeting point between 10K and half marathon). Love your shorts and the pink blossoms on all the trees!
