Our third, and final, running of the annual Polish Independence Day 10K. This year the weather was perfect- 40's and cloudy. And instead of, "Shit, the race is next week, we had better do some running," we were still coming off the marathon training and in good shape.
Waiting for the tram in Plac Konstitucji. We like this area because it's very representative of Warsaw under communist rule. I am freezing.
Waiting for the race to start. All the runners are issued either red or white shirts to wear during the race. Then we line up with red on one side of the street and white on the other. As the race moves, we look like a long ribbon of Polish flag. Very pretty and you can kind of see the effect on the monitor in the picture above.
Before
During (I'm blurry because my camera man is also in motion and not because I'm so fast)
After. We are actually very happy because we set a personal record. Also, nice to have lived somewhere long enough that we were able to run the same race three years in a row.
Tim swears he is giving up running because he hates it but two days later, when I was headed out the door for a Saturday run, he ran upstairs to throw on some shorts and join me. His competitive nature probably won't let him stop!
