So I finished the 12K Bay to Breakers race in just over 1:12. That's around a 12 minute improvement from last year. Exhausted today.
I felt like I could have kept running, though. It was easily my best time, and I was easily in the best shape for it I've ever been. It's weird to be able to see such a huge difference. The first year, at the end, I came in around two hours, had to walk a huge portion of it, and I screwed up my feat really bad. I was soaked in sweat, panting, had stitches in my side, and my feet were bruised and blistered. Within an hour of finishing the race, I could barely walk at all, and was in pretty bad pain.
This year I was ready to head back to the starting line on foot.
Maybe I'll hunt around for a 15k to try. I'd also like to get my time up. I started sprinting in the half-mile straightaway at the end, trying to keep up with Rolo, but then I had to stop and puke, so no good there.

That brings back a lot of great memories. I love running and I did a great deal of it while in the Army. It's absolutely fantastic that you had such a great time. Good on ya, sir!
