I ran the Bay To Breakers this morning. It was the first time in five years that I've run it and the first time I ran it alone. All in all it was my best race experience so far. I smiled for the cameras. Dunked a basketball on the run. Saw all manner of things. And did pretty well with the running thing too.
I intentionally kept my pace down. 7.4 miles is a lot for me right now. I usually mess myself up on 10Ks, and this was 12K. Around mile 6 I picked up the pace figuring that I could walk if I blew myself out, but my legs lasted.
I was a little worried about heat exhaustion because of what happened the last time I ran, but this time was cooler and I took every water opportunity offered.
I must have felt good about the race because I went swimming with Megan when I got home, then took her to go see Shrek The Third, which is far better than the reviews indicate.
