"  This weekend, I traded the budding maples around the 3.5-mile Prospect Park loop near my Brooklyn apartment for a cherry blossom-lined course in Washington, D.C. The Nike Women&amp;#039;s Half Marathon wound through 13.1 miles of the Capitol City&amp;#039;s most scenic sites: the Hill, the National Archives, the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial. We ran it all. It was my fourth half marathon to date, and my goal was to crush my personal best of 2:07. With Nike&amp;#039;s help, I did that\u2014and oh-so-much more.
