Race day was Sunday, October 19th and we started at 7am. Before we headed out all the Distance Divas took a group photo together outside of our adorable hotel - The Cornell - the oldest hotel in San Francisco. It was a cold
morning, but we were all excited about our race through beautiful San Francisco. Amanda took her camera on the 
run so she got some photos during the race so you can see a little bit of how beautiful it was...but the photos don't do justice.
I was one of 20,000 runners that day who ran either the Half or Full Marathon through San Francisco. They had a wall of all our names and I'm pointing at my name on the pink wal
l here. Most of the runners were women and at the end of the race we all got a Tiffany's necklace, given to us by firemen dressed up in tuxes at the Finish Line. And yes, it was even in the little Tiffany's box! See photo on right with box and the finisher's necklace. I finished the race just under 4 hours and felt great! I am feeling really ready for the Philiadelphia Marathon set for November 23rd.
Overall our San Francisco trip was FABULOUS! What a beautiful city that I definitely want to visit again soon!
