The Story

Not a bad run! I took about 7 minutes off my time and felt fine throughout the race. It was not a pretty day, foggy and overcast for the duration; the trip across the bridge and back was less exciting as a result, but still good. The course felt hilly, but survivable. This course is close to one half of the San Francisco Marathon scheduled for 7/2006. Running through fog is refreshing in a weird way. The only bad part is a blister/bruise on the tip of my left pointer toe.

I'm glad I ran today. I'm glad the hills were manageable. I am not looking forward to the red-eye to Raleigh...
