more marathon memories

Marathon weekend wouldn't have been so memorable if we didn't get to spend time with our friends Chuck and Liz. We spent most of Saturday in the Monterey Bay Aquarium, took a drive along the coastline, consumed a carb-loaded dinner and caught the first half of alvin and the chipmunks on HBO.







This is me the night before the race, testing out the warm clothes to wear at the start. I left these on the course, and the marathon crew picked up them up and donated them to charity.





I couldn't have been happier to see Unkle Karl, Mimi, Adam, Kylie, Ken, Chuck, Liz and Mike at the finish line! Here are some shots from Unkle Karl




Before you start the race you can leave your things in a bag at the start line and they truck it to the finish for you. Here they are all lined up



Post race snack basket: muffin, strawberries, carrots, grapes, peanut butter cookie...



having a rest while ken drinks a tall glass of michelob ultra...available at the finish line for "runners only".

I'm not sure why you'd want any beer after running 26 miles, but if I was going to have one it wouldn't be a Mic Ultra. Eeeew.
