Another whirlwind week of traveling.. ran the half marathon in SF with a gaggle of ladies.. celebrated my sister's bday.. bought a new pair of heels and designer bag.. and took care of some business before returning.  Although I barely trained for this race, I made it through with only about three days of post race soreness.  Unfortunately my family couldn't cheer me on (two kids make it difficult) but I had the most supportive friends EVER... my team was awesome realizing that I had only done less than half the practice runs (not to mention that most were men even though it was a women's race).  And I had additional friends who were tracking me and were awesome.  I received a ton of texts while I was running for all my peeps who were tracking me.  I guess friends are like a second family to me...and that's not a bad thing to have.
