What a difference a year makes.

A year ago, I was looking forward to participating in one of my favorite charity events and one of the best road races in the country, the Credit Union Cherry Blossom Run. Today, I'm thinking I'll probably get in a good workout on Sunday, April 11. But it won't be along the Potomac with 15,000 other runners amid Washington's blossoming cherry trees.

Instead, I'll probably recreate my own version of the Cherry Blossom Run in a location devoid of the blossoms' aroma and the springtime activities one observes along the scenic 10-mile route. This year, my spring run will be more about exercise than fundraising and the course will be flat and sandy. It will probably be about 80 degrees, and I'll likely be running into a 15-mile-per-hour head wind.
