Spring Training

A week from today Travis and I will participate in the Cherry Blossom Ten Miler. We went for our last long run early on Friday morning (5:45 am!), and took a few pictures. This coming week we'll do a couple of 3 to 4 mile runs, but are trying to keep our legs rested for next weekend.

Being able to train around all of these famous DC sites has made us so spoiled! Running is a lot more fun when the scenery is as impressive as this. A great distraction. And I actually find that I enjoy our long runs more than our shorter runs these days because we get to take in more sites and have lots of conversation. This particular run took us from our condo, across the Mall, across the Arlington Memorial Bridge, and back. 10.5 miles. Whew!

Headed back towards the district on the Arlington Memorial Bridge.

Beautiful sunrise.

DC has been a great place to train!
