A little behind on the posting, but I'm back with some more. This is the story of Alison P, my bud. And she is a rockstar. Alison is from the midwest, but her husband hails from Oklahoma City and that's how we first bonded. The first few weeks out her in San Francisco, she signed up to run the San Fran 12K (that's 7.5 miles). Being that she's out here in new city and running with about 4000 other strangers, I recruited the girls to go and cheer her on at the finish line. I think she really appreciated it that we came out to support her, especially being that she woke up around 5 in the morning to take the bus to go run. She was amazing. She ran the 7.5 miles in a little over 1 hour. I ran a 10K in November in about the same time (she's fast!). The finish line was right at Ghiradelli square just past the golden gate bridge. The weather was beafutiful, all the runners were great, and Lorenza, Tatyana, and myself were there to greet her as she crossed the finish. Just awesome.
Me, Tatyana, Alison, and Lorenza at Ghiradelli park.
Alison and all her running awesomness.
The flowers at Ghiradelli square. We ate lunch at a little diner behind here.
Me and Taty. You really can't tell, but this is the "treasure map" Alison drew for me on a napkin with the bus route to get to Ghiradelli square. I still have no idea where I am in the city. Sad, really.
