Lately, the weather has been on the warmer side of the spectrum until this morning. When we arrived San Ramon at 6:45 AM (give or take) it was teeth chattering COLD! We couldn’t wait for the race to start so we could get our body temperatures up to warm our bodies. During the run, my body quickly adjusted to the weather and it was perfect all the way through (couldn’t have asked for anything more). I got to run the first half with my friend Jovino who I ran into before the race. He is also a distance runner and we shot the breeze for awhile. He runs the same pace as me (a bit faster) and kept me even for the first half. This course had a good amount of hills which made it fun and challenging (probably not the best half marathon to set a PR). All the half marathon finishers received a finishers medal. We also received a long sleeve shirt as well. This is the first year that this race was held and for the first race, things were rather organized. There were a decent amount of aid stations and there was plenty of food at the end. There was also plenty of parking. As always, I had a great time running and spending time with the crew (Greg, Tina, Leticia, Kelly, and Felix). Below are my unofficial results captured from my Garmin 305 GPS watch (I hit the ‘STOP’ button a bit late). Till the next event!
