Done
Up at 415am Sharene drove me to the start line.
Quite a crowd (photos courtesy of Nike's FB page!
Sad for those visiting though, the mist never lifted.
I got it done, more Marathon strong aka stubborn than marathon fit!
Sharene met me at the end to give me chocolate milk, warm clothes and drive me home!
And of course below is the "medal" that drives so many to run. Tiffany designs new one each year and this year happens to be the 10th anniversary.
Now to focus on actually being fit enough to run the next one.

Marathon day
Tomorrow I am doing this:
I am not really marathon fit...so I am just going to plod it out; got 6hrs and 30mins to get it done. I am hoping it doesn't take that long.
I did buy some cool Nike limited edition shoes. This is also the race where the medal is a Tiffany necklace....
Expo was mega crowded.
Had some fab displays.
All hosted out of a big tent in Union Square.
At least the route is familiar to me, I know exactly how much pain to expect and when.....good times!

Long time no post
Bunch of stuff. Work busy and I have new responsibilities which are taking me variously in and out of my comfort zone. Surprised to realize that I have been at ACN for over three years.
A few weekends back Sharene and I went to Roseville to see her dad, who isn't very well. We stayed over and spent time with her dad. Coming back we stopped on Treasure Island and saw some cool things.
Treasure Island is an old Navy base and, oddly enough there are a bunch of vintners there.
This guy makes sulphate free wine and is a riot. Has about 30 different wines and offers free wine tasting. He's also pretty free with his pours. His tasting room looks like a repurposed utility room but it was all riotously fun.
We crossed the new part of the Bay Bridge, very impressive.
Sharene took arty shots along the way.
Not so arty but enjoying yummy fresh oysters.
A few weekends back we went to Big Sur and ran a 5 miler. It was amazingly hot and all uphill. So really we did a walk run. We stayed in some sweet little B&B we found in Carmel and enjoyed the end if the summer at the beach.
Found a cool little wine bar and enjoyed a wine tasting flight.
House is painted! Irene and I very happy. Stairs are also painted now but gives you a sense of it; I'll post before and after next time.
Nike Women's Marathon next weekend and I am not marathon fit so will be having a very slow marathon. Employing every trick I know to get me through!!! This is a tough marathon because it is hilly - I guess we'll see how it goes on the day (she says bravely).
Added a pic of Brax and his art!
