I’m going to San Francisco this weekend to run the Bay to Breakers 12K with Luna. This is the infamous race where some runners wear costumes, some runners wear normal clothes…..and some runners wear nothing at all. Yes, I’m in the ‘normal clothes’ category.

I’m really excited - this is going to be a really fun race. For example, there’s a contingent of people who dress up as salmon and run “upstream” in the race, against the current of runners. Hilarious. If I lived in SF, I’d totally be a Salmon.

John has run this race, and he’s been telling me horror stories about the hills along the course. I hate hills. Last night, we ran the Allen Parkway loop and threw in some mini hill work at the end. Everytime I reach the top of a hill, I automatically mutter, “I fuckin’ hate hills.” I can’t stop. It’s like a reflex.

Woohoo…..San Fran!
