10 Miles on the Odometer
Just ran my first road race today the Cherry Blossom Ten Miler! I had a lot of fun and put in a pretty good time considering it was my first race and I did next to no training. The course was mostly flat and we got to enjoy seeing all of the cherry blossom trees in full bloom.
My Stats:
It took me about 5 miles to settle in since the day was so cold and my muscles were pretty tight. After mile 5 it was pretty smooth sailing and I even managed to accelerate during the last three miles to a strong finish.
I took a few pics during the day, none while running the race of course, but some before and after.
I had a great time and really enjoyed the feeling running with so many other people. It made it really easy to stay motivated and to keep trying. I may not be able to keep up with my friend Andrew’s (pictured above) 6:40 minute miles anytime soon, but I will work on it.
Look out Alex Wong, next time I will not let you beat me!
