Real Cherry Blossoms!
It's summer! Overnight it went from 60s to 80s and I'm not complaining. Already have the windows off the Jeep. I am ready for some warm weather.
This heat wave made those darn cherry blossoms finally bloom! So we headed that way for our four mile run. Had to go through a neighborhood that's a little shady. But we made it, and so did EVERYONE ELSE!
It was crazy packed so we walked around and took some pictures then avoided the mall for the run home. Got some great pictures, but going to see the tidal basin all bloomed was a bucket list item and I don't need to go back and fight the crowds again tomorrow.

Cherry Blossom Ten Miler
I think I really like the ten mile distance, this was my third time doing it. First the Army Ten Miler in Iraq and then again a year later in DC (can't wait for this year's!).
My best time was when I was deployed. I did it in 1:49:49, not so well on the second one when I was recovering from a cold, and today 1:56:53. I was happy to be under two hours and I'm feeling good about getting a PR in the Nike women's half in two weeks.
Pictures from before during and after, got a shot of some of the few trees that were in bloom.

Boxing makes me happy
Actually I've figured out time and again that morning workouts make me a much more pleasant person, it's just so damn hard to get out of bed!
I did have to stop twice to cough up some gunk and blow my nose, but I think I got a lot out of it. My biggest question, why do I sweat so much more than everyone else?

Newly inspired
After watching the Biggest Loser finale I am all sorts of motivated!
Danni is so amazing and makes me want to work hard too. I guess it would help if I had Jillian Michaels cell phone number so she could yell at me.
After taking a week off with a cold I'm ready to get back at it! I did manage to get 20 miles in between Thursday and Sunday, but I felt like death.
So boxing in the morning and then speed work at night. Tons of time until the race, but I'm more excited for the journey!
