Wanna do a 1/2 Marathon with me?

Dad said such nice things about my race and I will just add that that 10K race is part of my preparation for the 1/2 Marathon that I wanna do. Anyone wanna do one with me?

I thought the race route was gonna be pretty flat and only the night before realized that there were BIG HILLS and a sandy beach part that I would have to run. ( I know I know - what was I thinking considering that I live in San Francisco.)



Despite the obstacles, I kept up a 14 minute mile pace and that was even stopping to dump sand out of my shoes after the beach run. (Whew - needed that break anyway!) It was such a gorgeous day running up to the Bridge and then along the beautiful cliffs. (Be sure and notice how far down the cliff Baker Beach is - see those little bitsy people in the photo? )

You know what though -I really should find a 1/2 Marathon to do in Wichita - I don't think a person could even FIND a hill to include in that race!

My time crossing the finish line.

Dad was a wonderful cheerleader and rode his bike for part of the course - next race Dad said he is gonna do some running as well!
