Bay to Breakers

[inhumandecency]

It's almost a year since I made my carefully-considered foolhardy vow to do Bay to Breakers in 2014. I made it hoping to encourage and inspire myself, and it succeeded at that -- I made a number of efforts to get back into running. The efforts themselves failed. I still can't run 2 miles without serious joint pain, let alone 7

I know that to someone who loves running, a walk is a small consolation--but a good walk should not be underestimated. A 7-mile walk from one side of the city to the other sounds great--I imagine you will see a lot that you might have missed at a faster pace.

Thanks for the encouragement. That's especially true for Bay to Breakers, which is as much a street festival as a race. (If I wanted to be really true to the spirit of "running Bay to Breakers," I'd also do my walk drunk and wearing a gorilla suit.)
