Running update

So for the past ten weeks or so I have been training for this year's Cherry Blossom 10-miler. The new course begins and ends at the Washington Monument, which will be really great. We will also run around the entire Hains Point (East Potomac Park).

Training has gone well this year, and I think I am ready! Of course one would always like to have two more weeks of training under the belt. Too bad...since the race is one week from today! If I had been training more rigorously I could more easily identify a goal race time...let's say 1:20, which is 4 minutes quicker than last year! Maybe I can attain that by moving closer to my starting group (there are 20,000 participants, many of whom are slow!) and by avoiding that greasy eggplant parm meal I had last year...
