october adventures part 1

the reason we planned a trip to san francisco was the Nike Women's half marathon

I went to San Francisco because EM signed me up to run a half marathon. I hadn't run one in years. Well, since the year I started my job. Back then I trained with MK (she's the one in the picture below. We went to nursery school together) and never ran alone. We could run for hours and probably it was just an excuse for hours of talking.  We trained with Team in Training for the New Jersey marathon and loved it.  That year I also ran the Brooklyn half and Bronx half.

 This time I had a different task. I trained alone though JW got me started and PB was a great encouragement (and I hope she'll run with me more). When I saw the hills in San Francisco I was nervous but I had a great time running the NWM. Thanks to EM for signing us all up and giving us a great excuse for a weekend together in San Francisco. I had so much fun with EM, LM and mom M.
