It was a gorgeous day for a race! I swear every time I run Cherry Blossom it is either windy, snowy, or rainy. But, today it was PERFECT! Hubby and Nathan went to cheer me on and a lot of friends were running the race. I actually got a PR! 1 hr 5 min 23 sec. Woohoo! That's a 6:33 pace. I have NEVER run that fast at a race before! I don't know whether it has been the speedworkouts on the treadmill, the fact that I actually tapered for this race, the miles that I have been logging, or the massive consumption of carbs (thank you Pizza Paradiso) that helped me PR. Here are some pictures:

holy speedy! well done :)

ReplyDeleteWe brought the frame that goes with our carseat, but we only used it in the airport and to hold the car seat when we went out to eat. St. John has not much of a town to speak of and the sidewalks in it are v. narrow so we carried him. Not sure about PR.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on a great race.
Yeah! Nice job!
ReplyDeleteThat's so exciting! I think its because you are a mom now and it made you stronger! The last 2 times I did cherry blossom it was NASTY Out! Last year was all rainy and gross. I was jealous that it was a great day and wanted to be there. GREAT JOB!
