    Default Cherry Blossom 10 Miler

    Sunday, I ran in DC's Cherry Blossom 10 Miler. This is the 2nd 10 miler I've run, the Army 10 Miler being the first. I finished the run, with out walking, and improved 10 minutes on my time from the Army 10 Miler back in the fall! I ran the CB10M in 1h45m.

    True, but I did, a Ramon Allones Gigantes from '04 and a Hemi Untold Story Maddie! And lots of water.

    What they said. I would die over trying something like that. I can barely keep up with my kids. Good job.
    Mama said a lot of things and be thankful was the one she never minded saying twice

    Yeah, my wife laughed at me once because I said I went for a run, and then smoked a cigar. Good job Juan, I'll be down in DC for the rugby tournament this weekend, definitely looking forward to it. I'll have to bring some good smokes.

    They used to hold it right on the Mall, but it kept getting rained out. This year it's at Rosecroft Raceway.

    That's why I love smoking cigars, they don't affect your ability to perform physically. If they did, I wouldn't touch them at all. I live a very active lifestyle, and if I couldn't surf two four hour sessions a day, I'd be a very depressed individual.

    Great job on the run CJ! Keep at it, and be sure to remember to minimize the "bounce factor". I use to run with horrible form and it really did a job on my knees. To the point where I had to stop for extended periods of time due to the pain.

    Ideally, you want to run with little vertical movement, placing the least amount of strain on your knees. It takes more work than bouncing around, but it'll keep you in one piece.

    Yeah, I am lucky if I can get 2 or 3 miles without dying, and I'm 18. I have to admire the runners out there.
    Is it sad that my 50 year old dad can run 10 miles on a good day, and I one day hope to reach 5?

    Nice work.
    When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,
    When sorrows like sea billows roll;
    Whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to say,
    It is well, it is well, with my soul.
