Race For The Cure

On Sunday, I woke up early for the annual Komen San Francisco Race for the Cure. This year, it was held at Crissy Field in the Presidio. The purpose of the event was to raise money for breast cancer research, dedicate the day to those suffering from the disease and celebrate those who have survived it.

The morning was cool and sunny. The Golden Gate Bridge was entirely visible and so were the boats sailing in the bay. The 5K loop began on Mason Street, circled the field in a counter-clockwise fashion up to Fort Point before returning. The fastest runner finished in 15:12, while I moseyed in with a 24:21.

I met up with a couple of folks after the run. We grabbed our free breakfast and filled our bags with all types of goodies. I now have enough PowerBars to last me the entire week. We hung out there for a little while and enjoyed the bay, the breeze, the people and the running high. It felt good.
