on oct 16, 2011, i ran 13.1 miles. at one time.
holy shit.
i went with a few good friends from law school to run the nike women’s marathon in san francisco…it was a blast! so many women! ~22,000 women and like ~500 guys! (photo credits, shannon quigley).
i finished in a little over 2.5 hours, which seemed slow, but all i wanted to do was complete it. success!
at the starting line...at 5:45am
my bib!
good motivation 
finally a bit of humor to sum up how i felt that day:
so. true.
after all the craziness, i vowed to never do another one, but i think i might do it again next year…i’m definitely glad i did it, and although the training took a while, it made me a lot more comfortable with “middle distance” (like 5-7 miles) which, when i started out, seemed impossibly far to this former sprinter i still am seriously slow at the longer distances, but i can do them. for now im sticking with shorter races, but im hoping to continue doing races…they keep me motivated to run, and maybe i’ll even get faster!
