'Cherry Blossom 10-Miler'
-1:17:52 ... this ended up being a 7:48/mile pace ... I really surpised myself with this ... I didn't realize I could get below 8:00 minute miles for that long ... Ran with some other staff member's from our Senate office ... Overall I felt really good, especially on the first 6 miles ... took in two water cups during the race ... one at 5 miles and another at 8 ... ate 1 'goo' pack at mile 7 ... overall I am really happy with my results here, I only actually trained for 6 weeks and didn't stop lifting at all during this training. I felt great on my feet and enjoyed getting this in. It was wonderful to get to DC, have some quality time with my wife and get this race in. We stayed at 'Hotel Washington', which was about a 5 minute walk to the starting line. This was a much more fun distance than a marathon!
Split went:
5K - 24:08 (7:46 miles)
10K - 47:52 (7:39 miles)
15K - 1:12:32 (7:57 miles)
Finish - 1:17:52 (7:51 miles)
