What a great run! It was perfect weather for it, and I thing at least part of the reason it was completely overcast was my lathering on a coat of SPF 70 this morning. I got a text from my friend letting me know where they'd parked and where to look for them, but by the time I got down there I ended up parking in a different area and had no luck finding them in the huge crowd. I hoped that I'd run into someone from the three different groups I knew were there, and I did! I heard someone calling my name and was happy to find a couple of my school friends. I ran with them and mostly kept up. I lost my crazy marathoner friend for a while, but later found her after she'd slowed down to take some photos.
It was a really fun event. Crossing the bridge on foot was amazing, what a view! I handled the incline fine, though it did feel like it was NEVER GOING TO END. I'm just happy I was able to do it without a walking break. Wooo! The cherry on top was running into some of Justin's work friends at the very end and getting a ride back instead of having to return via bus. I would have probably taken the ferry instead, just for fun, but I've no idea what the lines and wait time was for that. I *think* I completed the 4 miles in 38:55, but the official results will be posted sometime before 5pm.
