Monument Avenue 10K 2012

Saturday was the Monument Avenue 10K. If you live on the East Coast and have not heard of this race...well, then you must live under a rock. There were over 40,000 participants this year. YES, FORTY THOUSAND! It is quite the event in RVA. Like I have said before, this race holds a special place in my heart because it was my very first race. I have now run it 5 years in a row. It gets better every year.

 Need to pee?? You've got options.

Here I go!

 Done! And trying to make a Dasani ad apparently...

 My fave thing this year? The white house rolls! Bagels are overrated.

Love your runner! And your support team :-)

My time this year was 64 minutes. That's only one minute slower than last year, and considering I did not train like I usually do, I think that's pretty good.

Going to the expo and running this race has really sparked my interest in running again. I think it's time to start working towards checking some things off the bucket list.

So what's next? Most likely the Crawlin' Crab Half Marathon! or the 5K, I haven't decided yet. Either way, it's a new race from J&A Racing this year, and I am stoked! Can't wait to run around Hampton in September!
