Amazing 10K with Cousins (April 3rd Retrospective)

Consider this a (very delayed) echo of my cousin the Concerned Scientist about how amazing it was to meet up with them and run Hain's Point under a canopy of cherry blossoms at their peak.  $7 to run a race is so great compared to the $35, particularly when you can just ride your bike to and from the race, can we say multi-sport workout?

Never has a 10K been so celestial, running under an arch of dark limbs and fluffy white and pink puffs stretching from either side and nearly touching in the middle.  I was lucky to have Concerned Scientist there so I ran the first half a little slower with him, so I didn't overdo things.  At around 5K I picked it up a little and ended up around 48 minutes.  Given that I haven't been running much at all, I felt pretty good about that, and figure I can expect that to be my split at the end of the Olympic length triathlon at the end of the summer.
