Our good friend Jessica (whom we've both known forever, but who was T's main partner in crime since they first sat next to each other in 9th grade study hall) came down to visit last weekend and to run the Mermaid 5K with T. Well we use the word "run" rather loosely, Jessica ran the race and T alternated between running and walking -- but she finished and was pretty stoked with that result. Jessica ended up placing 6th over-all and 2nd in her age group (she got a prize!). T is really, really proud of finishing 19th in her age group and something like 55th over-all; not too shabby for not working out at all the past three months. This was the first annual Mermaid run in Golden Gate park and all three girls are very much looking forward to doing it again next year. Jessica even plans to bring her daughter, the adorably and talented Miss Abby, aged 4 and a half, so that B and Abby can do the Mini-Mermaid Run together.
We really wish that it had been possible to take photos throughout the course because it was such a pretty spot for a race; down in Crissy Field and all the way to Fort Point at the base of the Golden Gate Bridge.
