About Me

I am friendly, somewhat outgoing, and opinionated. If you do something that makes you look like an idiot I'm not afraid to tell you or laugh at you. In that respect feel free to laugh at me or tell me when I look like an idiot. ;P

San Francisco Marathon July 26, 2009


I guess I forgot to post this one also... Man am I slackin' or what! ;P
========================================
Long, long ago in a city far away there was this race and it was a nice race set on the edge of the sea. The day was cool and crisp with the sun just starting to break over the horizon. There was a whistle and a girl ran. She ran and ran and ran. The girl was feeling awake envigorated and energetic, she could feel it already, today was going to be a good day.

Well, that girl was me and I was right. It was a good day. It was a beautiful day to run a beautiful and scenic course across the golden gate bridge and back. I set out to enjoy myself and come in before the cut-off time of 3 hours. I not only thuroughly enjoyed myself and beat the cut-off but, I came in 1HOUR before the cut-off! Yay for me!

I'm not going to sugar coat it and say, "oh it was a piece of cake". It was anything but a piece of cake that's for sure. However, the weather was perfect, the scenery was beautiful and the course was well supported and organized. I especially ejoyed the little trivia posters scattered along the way. I was so absorbed in the trivia questions, that I barely noticed the hills I was climbing. Then, on the "flat" portions I was enthralled with watching the sea roll on by. I can honestly say, this is the first race that I enjoyed running so much that i lost track of time and was finished before I knew it. I highly recommend this race to anyone. One of the highlights for me was completing the California Dreamin' Series in Golden Gate Park. My 2 cents... 2 thumbs up! I can't recall anything to bitch about with this one. ;)
