I ran the Wharf-to-Wharf 10K from Santa Cruz to Capitola yesterday. It was a mixed bag of fun. Getting up at 6am to drive to Santa Cruz, not so fun. Goofing off to warm-up calisthenics, fun! Trying to weave through a horde of 15,000 runners, not fun. Running with Eugene, Winnie, Andy, Grace, Dawn, Elvis and a banana, among others, fun! Waiting an hour to grab brunch afterwards was not a lot of fun. But speeding through the last 3 miles and limping around on jello-y legs afterwards was surprisingly a lot of fun.

Next decision is whether or not to run the San Jose Rock ‘n’ Roll Half-Marathon in October…
