Bay to Breakers 2007

I love Bay to Breakers. It's quintessential San Francisco. Even if people don't run it, they should at least go see it.

I run it almost every year, and while for the past few years I haven't been able to, I did this year. Of course, things have been so crazed at work and in personal life that it snuck up on me. I barely registered in time (3 days early), and I have done little to no working out for the past month. Well, let's be honest. I've really done no consistent work out for the last 10 months, since joining Y! Mobile. What a roller coaster.

In any case, I did run today, and WHAT A BLAST. I could do without the old naked guys, but the costumes are hysterical, and there's a fantastic "energy" throughout the race. I had a huge grin on my face until after the Hayes Street hill, and then my lack of conditioning caught up with me. Fun nonetheless, though.

My time kinda sucked, but that's what I get for not working out. Official time: 1:09:17. That's really slow, and I can't even blame it entirely on the crowds. But I'll blame at least some of it on the crowds... ;-)
