I braved the dangerous weather and went for a 3 miles run. It was not raining but the winds were nasty. Made me cry the whole time I was facing it. Good test in case we have rain for my 10k race next week. Bill goes : "You are not going to run that race if it rains right?" hmmm WRONG! Why not. I will not melt.
So I am thinking of adding another half marathon to my schedule.
Or/And
San Francisco is July 31st and LA is October 30th. For SF they offer 2 Half Marathons. We can pick between the first half or the second half of the marathon. First half looks much harder then the 2nd and starts earlier also. Would be fun to get a family trip to San Francisco...all I need to do is convince Bill it is a great idea...wish me luck.
Game 7 today, we played the giant Celtics. Compare to them we looked like a bunch of shrimps even my son who is really tall.
I look like crap scared..they do scary stuff sometimes like going to score on the opposite basket..oh yeah
Will challenging his inner Han Solo
Once again #3 not interested in what I got to say

He took that shot and it went in and he was pretty far away..I like that a lot.
I hear DUKE calling...
Hey Coach K do you need our number?
See how good Will looks in Blue and Black??

I really hate running in the rain. My husband and I were considering doing SF, but decided against it after he BQ and we are going to Boston this year. Looks like a really fun race, but very, very hilly. Love the pics :)
Great basketball pics (as usual, coach!). Oh, please consider the SF first half!!!!! I'm doing it and so are some other mommy bloggers. I would love to meet you!
Do SF and I can cheer you on (or maybe run it?)!
Ha! Scoring in the other basket! We did that on my h.s. soccer team, we were so bad :P
#3 is my favorite Player.
I don't recall....when is your first full marathon?
@Chris: of course he is...me I go with #4
Full? you don't recall because I never mention that..! ha! not yet..need to "master" the HM first.
Caroline-
Yes! We did run the SF Half. We ran the second half, because it started later :) It was a ton of fun! They say the 2nd half is less hilly but I have to say, it was pretty darn hilly! I know the 1st half is more scenic as you run over the golden gate bridge. If I run it again I will probably run the full. I am madly in love with San Francisco, so I will make any excuse to run there. I thought it was a great race! My only issue was the porta-potty situation. The line was unbelievable! I had to pee in a bush, but oh well, it happens.
I have yet to run ANY races in LA but I would love to! I think you should just do them both! :)
Ha, these pictures crack me up....especially the one of you and your caption. The one of #2 not paying attention is funny too...kids at this age are a riot! I say run them both too! :)
I saw your question on Kate's blog about the SF marathon, and couldn't help but weigh in here, haha
I did the SF 1st half marathon in 2009 - it is hilly. There are 2 major hills in it (getting to the foot of Golden Gate bridge, and then the Presidio) as well as some rolling hills that take their toll. Definitely a tough run. Though the experience of running across the golden gate bridge is worth it - that is amazing.
I did the SF full marathon in 2010, and the 2nd half of the marathon is definitely easier than the 1st half. There is one long gradual uphill for 2.5 miles at the beginning (miles 14-16.5), but that is about it. The 2nd half is definitely not as scenic, you run through golden gate park, the haight, and then a lot of industrial areas before finishing by SF giants park.
Good luck with the decision!
You should almost hope that it DOES rain for your race next weekend. If everyone else stays home, that will guarantee you an age group placement! :)
I've read race reports on both of those HMs, and they both sound like so much fun!
Y'a pas grand température qui nous arrête nous, les québecoises! :) Funny about the rain keeping people at home. Great basketball pics once again.
I love this pics!! hahaha!
SOunds like you got bit by the race bug! Both of those HM sound fabulous--anything in Cali sounds great to me!
hahaha@ Chris K. #3!
oh ya, go for the SF half. I heard that awesome! And your kids are just too cute. Yes, Duke is calling that talent!

That's too funny. I was scared to run a half marathon but as soon as I finished I started looking to sign up for more. I may do one on Apr 23 (but it is hilly) and I am contemplating doing another in Sept or Oct (but it is hard for me to do ong runs in the summer).
