This morning I completed the San Francisco 1/2 Marathon — I did the second half and it was my first.  What an amazing experience!  Here are things I gleamed from the experience:

  • Fat people can run too :-)

Now,  I can work on my golf game since I won’t be training for another event, but maybe I need to be thinking about another event!  :-)
