[ running... ] Ok I've decided to head back to the city for a run. I signed up for the San Francisco Half Marathon at the end of July. The prior weekend I'll be running the 10k Wharf to Wharf and for sure it'll put a smile on my face and prepare me for SF. This will be my third half marathon and I'm looking forward to a successful run. A few weeks ago I ran solid at that the Santa Cruz half marathon. Prior to SC I ran the Home Depot Half marathon in the city and I hated it. It was my first half and the weather stunk, rain, cold and windy out on the Pacific Coast Highway... yuck! I can't believe Runners World ranks this race as 5th best half marathon in the country. Obviously they never ran it ;) This year the race has a new sponsor and so the name was changed to Kaiser Permanente Half Marathon.
