Wow! Isn't it amazing how something is so big in your life ... you are consumed by it. You think of it all the time. Your friends tire of hearing you talk about it. And then, in a flash it's over and you have moved on!
That's how I feel about the Cherry Blossom 10 Mile Run. I worked hard (in my little, whimpy mind) to train for this run. I sacrificed home-cooked meals in exchange for a run and then a quick fix meal of (fill in your favorite "fast" food, prepared at home!).
Dad and I had a great time running together. It was a very damp, emotional experience for me. Rained all morning, of course. At least my feet kept dry! Not sure how that happened, but I was very thankful for it as we walked around museums later that morning.
I committed to this run because I wanted to make a significant memory with my dad. I can definitely say - mission accomplished.
You might ask - what prompted me to finally make an entry more than eight weeks after the run - tonight my friend, Sally, asked how the run went. I was reminded that I had told many people about the run and then instantly stopped talking about it the day of the run! I also got a wonderful tabloid with the "Official 2008 Race Results" in my mail today. I knew the time very quickly, it's just satisfying to see it in ink!
