Nike Women's Marathon weekend

Marathon!It was a fantastic weekend in San Francisco. The weather was perfect and meeting up with Alex, Molly, Nick, and Josh to celebrate Molly's achievement was a lot of fun!

Molly ran the marathon in 04:04:06! She made running 26.2 miles look pretty easy. I know she was a hurtin' unit afterward, but it was awesome to watch her run. I caught up to her at about the 14 mile mark. At that point the people running the full marathon are separate from those running the half-marathon so she was easier to spot!

It is apparent that I am not a photographer and will need lessons before Molly's next marathon, but you get a glimpse of her now and again.

Renting the Vespa turned out to be a great idea. I was able to negotiate around the course pretty easily and park and watch when needed. Although you have to drive the rest of the time as if you are a lunatic or you will get run over. Maybe a mountain bike would have been a better option, although getting back to the hotel after the race may have been interesting.
