I did it. I ran the Kaiser Permanente Half Marathon yesterday. What a beautiful perfect day!
A few frustrations happened. First I drove around for over an hour trying to find a parking place. I was almost ready to say "forget it" as 7:58 am approached and the race was 2 minutes away. Miraculously the roads cleared and I drove into the museum parking garage at Golden Gate Park and there was a place.
I grabbed my stuff and took off running to the start line. As I attached my NEW Roadrunner Sports fanny pack the buckle broke and I had to tie it on. I was the last runner to cross the start line. It was actually very fun to be in the back of the pack. I slowly passed the walkers and felt very relaxed. My goal was to complete in under 3 hours and my time was 2:58. That included a potty break and picture taking (they didn't turn out well).
Since it wasn't a loop I also walked back to my car through Golden Gate park.It was so great.
The thing that topped it off was I stopped on the way home and got a pedicure with an extra long foot massage-WOW!!!!!!!!!! Then home to watch the Super Bowl and Beer!
It was a great day............................................
