Cherry Blossom 10 mile in Washington DC

I just did the Cherry Blossom 10 mile run. I saw Carl and Leslie wait in line at the port a pots.  What a coincidence.  It was good to see them. I don't have the official results, but this is from my Garmin.  (Note it logged 10.12 miles.

This is one of the few times I did a negative split: 
1st 5 miles     51:01
2nd 5 miles    46:14

It was a great day for me. I ran faster today than I've run for several months or a year.  My average for the last 5 miles was 9:15.

I'll update this post when the results are posted.

I found a way to get all of my past results.  Cool!  I've run it 9 times including this year.  1996 was my longest run up to that point.   In 2011, I was signed up but gave my number to someone else (He ran faster than me, 9:03 pace)
