Planned and possible
|
| 11 October 2009 |
Bizz Johnson Marathon |
|
| |
|
Half marathon
|
| 26 July 2009 |
San Francisco Marathon (first half) |
2:17:20 (chip time) |
| |
First race that Craig and I did together. Very
crowded, especially on the bridge.
|
| 27 June 2009 |
RnR Seattle Half |
1:50:53 (chip time) |
| |
Nice course, great weather. Felt great. |
| 17 May 2009 |
Avenue of the Vines Half, Lodi |
2:10:06.1 (chip time) |
| |
Hot; long straight roads; got dehydrated by the
end. Dairy farms halfway through posed a particular challenge. |
| 2 May 2009 |
American River Half |
2:10:32.4 (chip time) |
 |
Nice route, nice people. A little rain along the way
but nothing major. Came in faster than expected but felt
lousy from lack of rest and gut cramps. Most amusing fact: I had
bib number 666.
|
| 25 October 2008 |
Healdsburg Wine Country Half |
2:16:50 (chip time) |
| |
This was the first running of the Healdsburg half. The route was
great: country roads, much of it through vineyards in a fairly narrow
valley. The route was rolling hills and as a result a relatively slow
course; there were a lot of people who seemed to give out in the last
two or three miles.
|
| 5 October 2008 |
RnR San Jose |
2:03:37 (chip time) |
| |
Big (20k people), fast, not terribly scenic but very very convenient.
|
| 3 August 2008 |
San Francisco Half Marathon (first half) |
2:09:36 |
| 3 February 2008 |
Kaiser Permanente San Francisco Half |
2:03:29 (clock time) |
| |
The KP SF half is a quick, fun route. The first half is
easy—going downhill west through Golden Gate Park. Then an
out-and-back on the Great Highway, where people seem to start to fall
apart. Ends with an uphill into the finish.
|
| 16 July 2006 |
Carneros Wine Country Half |
1:54:40 |
 |
One of the prettier races out there. An early morning start at a
vineyard is nice. A few bumps but no real hills.
|
| 5 February 2006 |
San Francisco Half |
1:54:02 |
| 17 July 2005 |
Wine Country Half |
1:58:59 |
| 17 April 2005 |
Santa Cruz Half |
2:01:00 |
 |
Not my favorite race. Too many horses had been on the trail in days
before, and one had to avoid their leftovers. And who thought
finishing in the sand was a good idea?
|
| 6 February 2005 |
San Francisco Half |
2:08:12 |
| 11 July 2004 |
Wine Country Half |
2:19:16 |
 |
|
|
| |
|
Marathon
|
| 2 March 2008 |
Napa Valley Marathon |
4:42:59 |
|
Highlight of the run: a coyote trying to cross the road, confused by
hundreds of runners in its way. Steady downhill, and a tailwind this time.
|
| 9 October 2005 |
Bizz Johnson Trail |
4:42:43 |
|
A spectacular route. Below freezing at the start, but the first few
miles are a gentle uphill and I took off outer layers fairly soon.
Bright yellow autumn foliage in the canyons.
|
| 12 June 2005 |
North Olympic Discovery |
5:13:00 |
|
First marathon. Ran in front of the house I grew up in, and my mom
and Craig kept going from spot to spot to cheer us on.
