Short of goal, yet proud of the accomplishment. Loved the hilly course, sights and friendly people! I have many pics to upload from the course and will share my thoughts later when I return from the trip.

Surprisingly, while heading back over the Golden Gate Bridge I spotted my wife who didn't hear my yelling her name. I hoped to have caught a picture of her. Then, it occurred to me, "Hey, I wonder if I'll see Camels and Chocolates?" Two minutes later, I thought I saw her but couldn't yell her name because I have no idea what her name is. So Camel, if you were wearing a white shirt and running near the rope, I believe, I saw you -- small world!

Today, Wednesday, my pain finally subsided! Thinking of the next race and signing-up with a local running coach in order to lose 40 minutes off my time.

For my first marathon race of the season, I'm quite pleased. Absolutely loved the city and wish I could move there sometime soon -- more on that later. It's vacation time!
