Here is my jersey with the names of the individuals in whose honor I ran.

I DID IT!!!

So, I ran my half marathon in San Francisco this past Sunday. It was great, challenging, but great. I'm very, VERY sore, but glad I did it. The hills were brutal but the scenery was stunning. It was great to run by pier 39 and hear the seal barking and to round a corner and see the waves crashing on the shore.
I ran with my friend Alexis for the first 11.5 miles. Having her there really helped me power through it all.
Thanks to everyone who supported me over the last five months. It really meant a lot to me.

Happy October

Well, this past Saturday I ran 11 miles, the farthest I have run since June and my last "long" run before actual race day. It's all very exciting and daunting. I've raised over $4600 which is pretty excellent. I'm very tired now.
