@jerseyblauvs finished her first marathon with some running-in company, @generictjohnson and surprise weekend guest @chan_tall who decided the best way to spend her birthday would be to jump in and bandit the last 16 miles (new distance PR) with the unexpecting Amanda.
When Amanda passed me on the Golden Gate Bridge I had to focus to not spill the surprise that I knew was waiting for her upon running back across the bridge.
And I'm particularly proud of my pal @jlsuttles who finished her first #halfmarathon by running the challenging SF 1st half as her first. Well done Jessica!
Running races with friends and a supportive community (#NPSF) has made a huge difference. It really makes you feel like you can do more than you think you can, and then you do.
#Grateful for each and everyone of these people and looking forward to starting, running, and finishing more races together.

Bowl'd Açai bowl, from their foodtruck at the #sfmarathon finish area. #latergram #nofilter
After finishing the first half in Golden Gate Park, walk/running home to change, I MUNId back to the Embarcadero to congratulate friends finishing the full and second half. This foodtruck caught my eye and suddenly I was starving. Got it with extra peanut butter on top. Bowl'd açai gets two purple thumbs up.

Eight days ago I finished my eighth half marathon minutes behind my pal Rebecca Daniels. #latergram #nofilter

We ran both halves of the SF marathon the past two years (she’s run both halves twice). So I challenged her to run the full next year and she stepped up.
That means I am too. #sfmarathon2017 #verbal
Finished 1st half of the #sfmarathon in 2:27:37, my first #halfmarathon since recovering from knee injury. I hit several goals:
1. Finish without injury
2. Finish under 2:30
3. Not my slowest half
I'm pretty pleased with that. I had no illusions about setting a half PR but I was thinking a course PR was in reach (faster than when I first ran it 2 years ago). Missed that by ~4 min. I went as fast as I could without sustained knee pain.
However, when I finished I felt like I could keep going, and that felt great. Finished smiling with gas left in the tank and that convinced me that I have what it takes to train and run a full next year.

High-fiving (side-fiving?) the #NPSF #cheergang, after just having run up nearly 200' of incline from Crissy Field below. I swerved right from the crowd, knowing #novemberproject pals would be there. I felt pretty strong in this race, but definitely got a boost from the cheering. It felt like I got launched onto the Golden Gate Bridge.
Even on the way back I could hear them cheering and shouting my name, picked up speed accordingly, slaloming through the crowd, picking up speed all the way downhill to the underpass below the bridge and up onto Lincoln Blvd.
