Race #2!

Back in March, we ran our first 5K and started a weekly running group.  This morning, we got up early to the run The Giants Race 10K.  It was Patty, Nicole, and Stephanie’s first 10K and they did great!  It started behind the stadium, went along Embarcadero, turned around at Fisherman’s Wharf, and ended inside Giants Stadium.  We started out slow but then I helped Stephanie turn on the turbo during the last half to finish under her goal of 1:15.

We actually finished in 1:08, which is a record finish for her.  She calls me her carrot and I think I did my job today.  All our training on our weekly Wednesday runs really paid off too since all four of us comfortably ran 6.2 miles today and had a great time.   We got a medal and lots of swag including a Tim Lincecum bobblehead.  I wonder how much I can get for it on eBay.

After the race, we gathered at my house and Jes whipped up some breakfast for us.  Afterward, we went down to the pool to soak our feet and lay out in the warm sun.

Here are the rest of the photos from today.
