Weekend Racers?

[mrshandy]

Anybody running the Cherry Blossom 10 miler with me this weekend?

[Wines Not Whines]

DH and I are "running" it. I had to put that in quotes, because we're both undertrained and I have an injury, so it's definitely going to be more of a fun run than a race for me. But it should still be fun.

I signed up for the Cherry Pit (not a typo) 10 miler. I'm feeling pretty crappy right now (cold/throat crud), and will only show up if I'm feeling 100%. I wanted to see where I'm at compared to the last time I raced it, but if I'm sick I don't think it is accurate comparison. It was only $10, so I'm not going to sweat it.

Good luck all!

A 10-mile race for $10 ? Never heard of such a thing!

Hope you feel better.

It is a Annapolis Striders low key/no thrills club race. They used to be $5. It's a great deal, and you still get the standard food at the end. When I ran the winner got cherry coke and a nice plant. Some of the other local running groups have the cheapies too.

Lol- I was looking at this race this morning, and cracking up at the course map.  Annapolis Striders have the most high-tech maps, don't they?  

GOOD LUCK everyone!   It's a beautiful weekend for the locals!

oh, me me me! First race since November. Local 5 mile race. I am using it as my running test for my coach to establish HR zones for my 70.3 training plan. Eep!

[bluedaisyus]

I have my first ever 10k on Sunday. We'll see how it goes!

[gt7301b]

GRRRR.... I'm still bitter that I'm not running Cherry blossom. I will be drowning my sorrows at a 5k on Saturday, hopefully all the fast runners are resting for CB and I can squeak in an age group award.

[sadlebred]

Good luck, racers!

[spunkypenguin]

I'll be at Cherry Blossom! My first year

[mrsjthompson]

Good luck racers!

I think everyone should get a cherry coke after a race I love cherry coke.

I'll be screwing around for a period of time not to exceed 2 hours on the CB course on Sunday. it will be nothing that even remotely resembles racing.  I'm just hoping I finish without embarassing myself too mcuh.

Haven't decided if I'm racing or winter camping...waiting on friends to figure out their stuff. Either I'm winter camping Sat-Sun or I'm showing up in Colorado Springs for the Xterra 24K on Sunday morning. We'll see...

[planning ahead is too much work ]

Yup, same here.  I'm going to consider it a fun, supported workout.  

[kams]

Have fun, racers!

[bostonmichelle]

I'm running a local 5k. I'm excited since I haven't run a true 5k in 9 weeks and I want to see how all my training has improved my time. I'm also running with a college friend who runs a similar pace so hopefully we can push ourselves to a decent PR.

[labbie]

Good luck ladies!

[psyri]

Cherry Blossom for me too! I made a bib for baby that says "MVB Most Valuable Baby on Board Est. Finish: 08:21:14" (my due date). It won't be a fast race for me, but it will be an instant PR for baby. Good luck fellow racers!

[taratru]

I'm "racing" a half on Sunday with my sister. It was my very first half (and hers, too!), and it has kick ASS post-race food, so we're going for it. We'll be lucky to break 2:05, I suspect.

[cole]

Good luck racers, have fun!

[venice2007]

Good luck racers

You've got this!

[melmel48]

I thought I was running a local 5k on Sunday. Turns out it's tomorrow! Whoops. So yeah! I am running a local 5k tomorrow. 


I am racing with a friend who is new to running. She is so nervous, but I know she will do great! I will check back in to see everyone's race reports. Good Luck everyone!

Good luck racers!

[agswife]

No, but a big group of people form my running group are. I have a 15k. I may drop to the 4 miler, though sessalee may kill me for doing that, ha.

H and I are doing the Philadelphia Hot Chocolate 15K on Sunday. Organization has been a bit of a clusterfuck, so I hope we are pleasantly surprised on Sunday. At least the weather is supposed to be decent.

[beachygal]

Cherry Blossom race for me! Did it last year and it was the race that made me realize I want to pursue distance racing-- I had such a blast. Looking forward to a great time on Sunday!
