representing at the marin half marathon

This past Saturday a group of us were among the 1,000 people who participated in the Marin Half Marathon (we walked the 10K distance.) at McNear's Beach in San Rafael. The Breast Cancer Emergency Fund is the beneficiary of this race and the day's total donations were $10,000! Oh, McNear's Beach is a really pretty place if you are looking for a day get away in the Bay Area: Picnic tables, a pool, beach access, a clubhouse.

Thankfully the weather was pretty cool and dry (rain was predicted) for a pretty 10K route along the marsh and then bay near China Camp. The 1/2 marathon runners are treated to a pretty steep uphill trail run on the last few miles of their route. Our time was pretty slow (we were the last people to finish the 10K – ha!, and I think we were the only people walking the whole thing) but we dawdled a little at the end listening to the bag pipers, taking photos and chatting with people.

Rambling to the Finish Line!

After the race, we drove over to Ross for a celebratory breakfast 

at the always packed and great Half Day Cafe. Yumm!
