The week before Bay to Breakers was total crap, as we found out on Tuesday that a friend had taken his own life… this led to WAY too much time out on the town as we dealt with the events of the week. I opted to stay home the night before the race because I was just physically and emotionally depleted.
At any rate, I made myself some delicious perogis that sat like a rock in my stress-sensitive stomach, tried to get to sleep early but still was just on edge and slept fitfully….Wasn’t feeling too hot at all Sunday morning, but I took the time over my traditional pre-race breakfast to check my 12K PR, just so I would know.
In case you haven’t heard, ING is trying to ruin Bay to Breakers and the supes are stepping in to try to find a happy medium, but it looks like ING won’t be happy until every last ounce of life or “San Francisco-ness” is sucked from the event.
Did they not do ANY research into what this event was before they signed on as sponsors? THE EVENT HAS FLOATS, DRINKING AND NAKED PEOPLE IN IT!

I’m a tough girl…not Cha Cha DiGregorio tough, but at least Betty Rizzo tough (sorry, but I find Grease to be the most appropriate movie to compare myself to). That’s why I was so surprised when pregnancy kicked my ass! Kicked it hard. I shouldn’t have been so surprised…I wasn’t exactly ready for it. I was just hanging around, wondering what I wanted to be when I finally grew up and thinking I should really start getting back into some kind of shape when BANG! I got knocked-up at the tender age of 36.
Nuns and other religious types will tell you that pregnancy is designed by God, or at least by an angel appointed specifically by God, but my pregnancy was designed either by the Marquis DeSade or by one of his supervisors (I assume Hell is run much like a Wal-Mart in that everyone has supervisors and the night shift gets locked in at night). And oh yes, the tiny, adorable screaming little poop machine really did make it all worth it, but I found myself, nearly two years later, finally (oh finally!) recovered from the whole ordeal, wondering when the heck all this baby weight was going to magically fall off.

Last night, I attended my first track practice in four weeks. I had three strikes against me: 1) I’m getting over a cold virus; 2) I’ve run exactly twice in four weeks; and 3) It’s blazing hot. (Seriously, how do people run outside of San Francisco? Running in Florida? That’s the third level of Hell.)
… if you’re into that kind of thing.
