Bay to Breakers, May of 2011

All the festivals, food music and otherwise, really keep us busy here in the city. I know that it was a couple months ago, but this is one of my favorites... marking the beginning of the summer, it is a footrace from the bay-side of the city to the ocean (7.25 miles, roughly). I've run the race seriously for the past three years, always making my way backwards to the mayhem and partying that follows the (somewhat) serious runners. This year was the 100th anniversary of the race and rumor has that it may be the last, but I don't believe a bit of that hogwash. Here is a video I took at the very edge of the panhandle at around noon (I think?!). My blog coauthor Beth and I ran the race in 1:15:26 (according to my watch, which was stopped during my port-a-potty break at mile 5). Here we are relishing in our accomplishment and enjoying the day with our neighbors.
