I finished in my 2nd or 3rd fastest time for ten miles, I think (1:56:51 by my watch), but I don't recommend trying to run a 10-miler after restricting calories for a week. Good thing it wasn't a big race for me, just a local fun one. The course was very crowded (10,000 runners) and I just tried to go with the flow and stay relaxed. I felt great until mile 6 or so and then had a major bonk. Then I just kept jogging along and thinking to myself, "See? I can keep jogging even if I bonk. Just slower. MUCH slower."
The best part of the day was seeing Keri, Holly (looking happy and energetic!), and especially Jeanne - congratulations on challenging yourself by taking on and FINISHING your first ten miler!

Congrats to all of you!
Great job on hanging in there with your race. I like how you turned dealing with the bonk into a challenge to which you ROSE, instead of just a negative aspect.
Great shot of you and your buds!
I also really enjoyed the pics of your girls (especially on and near the picnic bench - they're cute little bundles of energy).
Hey, hey the gang's all here...

What a fun day! sorry you bonked, but yay for you--kept on runnin', just like the energizer bunny! Thanks for encouraging me to run this!
Wow! Great pictures. What an awesome day you had :)
Congratulations. I've always wanted to do the CB 10 miler. It looks so beautiful! I'm coming to DC on 4/29 but I think the blossoms will be gone by then. I'll just have to settle for running the National Mall, one of my favorite places to run.
You and Jeanne got some great photos. Congrats on another race.
Congrats to you all! You've got to be happy with your time, regardless of how you felt... OH I MISS CHERRY BLOSSOMS!
