What a fun surprise on my run this morning, out doing my normal route for my last day in San Francisco when I came across the start line for the Napa Valley Ragnar, and it looked like the first wave of people had just left about 15 minutes before I got there. I followed blinky light people along my normal running route but then they turned off on a trail I'd never ventured on in the dark before so I followed. I kept running past people talking to them and then running on a head saying hi to everyone I passed. The first leg goes from Crissy field across the Golden Gate bridge to the look out point on the other side so I decided to extend my run and go with them all the way across the bridge. I had a ton of fun, I've never ran Ragnar before, but now I can say I ran 1 leg of Ragnar, perhaps if I keep training I can run all 3 one day. Turned around and waved to everyone I'd just passed again but I was now running late cause I didn't plan on going that far this morning and I had to get some shipping stuff in order before my flight this morning, so I had to kind of book it back, along the embarcadaro I passed a guy, he didn't like being passed and I could tell he sped up and was right on my tail, he then attempted to pass me, well unfortunatly for him he picked the wrong day to race me cause I was feeling exceptionally frisky this morning after my good run. I put the hammer down and kicked it into 6:00/mile gear, that didn't loose him so I had to kick it into 5:30 gear, which I actually didn't know I had that gear but it did the trick, that guy got left in the dust :) Great fun run this morning, got all my stuff shipped and now I'm sitting at the airport waiting for my late flight. I can pretty much count on this flight being delayed 1 hour so I'm not sure why I even try to get here in time. I'm so happy to be headed home.
