so the weekend after nyc, i flew up to dc to run in the cherry blossom 5k. i had a goal of finishing in 45 minutes. my final time was 45:57! so close! i have to say we had a lot of support during the run. jl ran the 10 miler and had his parents there rooting him on. our mutual friends ajg & steven also came out to support. here i am posing for ajg and steven when i finally saw them for my run.
i was so happy to complete it! i was especially thankful to everyone that came out to support. ajg, steven, k&c rop, hb's sis aki, alice, and of course jl's parents! they were the sweetest, and hearing them cheer us all on was great! jl finished in about 1hr 20 mins for the 10 miler, and unfortunately hb had some really bad knee pain at mile 6 that he made the decision to stop right there, and did not finish. we are all looking forward to running more races soon! my ultimate goal will be to do the 10 miler eventually!!
you should be so proud of yourself for completing that run.... i'm still considering MAYBE doing a 5k at some point :-)
