The time has come: San Francisco Marathon is this weekend. After going on a shake out run with Bart Yasso and volunteering at the Expo at Fort Mason tomorrow, I’m going to relax, stretch, and eat a solid pre-race dinner. Today, Jesse’s volunteering at the Vineman Aquabike Expo before tomorrow’s race; he’ll join me for 26.2 on Sunday. With temperatures expected to be in the high 70s all weekend, it’s sure to be a beautiful and eventful weekend (and hopefully not too hot in Guerneville for Jesse’s Saturday race).

Yes, it should be nice!
Good luck to you both this weekend!! Sending positive race vibes all around. Have fun!
Best of luck this weekend!! I’m sending good thoughts your way!
A run with Bart Yasso, how cool! Tell him I did his Yasso 800s workout this week and it was awesome! haha jk
The Berlin Marathon?!?! Holy smokes! How exciting!!! So wait you are already registered for 2015?
Thank you! I know, the man who invented the yasso 800s! Haha!
We’re not registered yet, but it’s been planned for years. We’re going next year for Jesse’s 30th birthday (followed by a trip to Munich for Oktoberfest :)).
So jealous, that sounds like an amazing trip! Here’s hoping you have no troubles registering…does it sell out fast?
I don’t think so? I’ll find out soon. 🙂
You are ready! You will crush it! Go get some!
Good luck, sounds like you guys are going to have a very fun and full weekend!
Good luck to the both of you!!
