Bay to Breakers....yikes

Already June 1st, wow where does the time go? The Third week of May Adalie, Rick, Jeanne, Joni, Ashley, Jill, Judy and myself ran the Bay to Breakers in San Francisco. What a race! Such nakedness I have never seen before in my life! The best costume of the race had to be the 20 or so people dressed up like salmon running the against everyone...or up stream. Maybe I'm partial because while I was running past these fish people I thought to myself gee maybe I should have gone fishing instead (just kidding I would not have traded this race experience for a river trip). Rick ran and the seven miles in under an hour - way to go! I ran the race with Adalie on my back as my coach, every time I slowed down she would pat my back and start to fuss, no joke. This was very inspiring and tough, it is the strongest I've ever felt....7 mile run while carrying my 17 month old daughter - I can do anything! We all met up after the race - which does not sound like an accomplishment but when you add 55 thousand people into the equation and a City on the ocean you are unfamiliar with it makes for an interesting quest after an already enduring activity. Did I mention we did not run with cell phones :) So proud of everyone! What an awesome day and sweet accomplishment - I'm in for next year!

Today is Rick's Birthday and mother's day. He is so nice to share his birthday :). It was a very good low key day. Rick ran the "Salmon Run" and did really well, Adalie and I are proud. For the second year in a row, I could not run because of surgery recovery. I am hoping to get the okay from the dr tomorrow to run the bay to breakers instead of walking, either way it will be fun to be with family and in a 100 year anniversary race. I can't wait to see all the crazy costumes. Happy Birthday Rick and Happy Mom's day to all you beautiful, strong Mom's out there (especially my own).
